2017 Yamaha Sidewinder LTX DX L-TX models feature a longer 137-inch track wrapped around a 'coupled' rear suspension making this our most popular snowmobile for hard-core trail riders. The new Genesis turbo engine is capable of embarrassing all challengers in acceleration and top speed. The extra track length helps put all that power to the snow and with three different trim levels; there is a package perfect for your riding style. The L-TX DX offers greater comfort with coil spring gas shocks, heated seat and fully functional windscreen. Performance Genesis 998 Turbo Four-Stroke The base of the Genesis 998T is the over-achieving Genesis triple. Already renowned for pulling consistently hard from take off to top end, the factory-installed turbo takes it to next level status while maintaining Yamaha's reputation for quality, durability and reliability. High Quality Turbo-Charger The nickel alloy turbine body is extremely strong and precise, able to withstand highly elevated temperatures. Supported by top grade, ceramic ball bearings, the Inconel turbine blade assembly is very light and strong. Yamaha-Mitsubishi ECU The Yamaha Mitsubishi Electronic Control Unit (ECU) uses a series of nine sensors to gather running condition data and computes using its predetermined memory 'map'. It then adjusts ignition timing, fuel delivery, manifold air-pressure and turbo boost pressure to produce maximum performance - reliably. Triple Throttle Body Induction Each cylinder has its own throttle body located as close as possible to the intake valves. This unique design offers immediate throttle response when combined with the efficient turbo and air bypass system. ABV - Air Bypass Valve Unlike regular blow-off valves, the ABV redirects air pressure back into the intake side of the compressor to prevent surge and maintain impeller speed, always at the ready for the next acceleration. Liquid-Cooled Turbo Body Engine coolant is circulated through the turbocharger to control temperature. Upon engine shut down, the convection energy produced by super-heated coolant at the turbo keeps it circulating without the coolant pump in operation. This eliminates the need for an engine cool down cycle while maintaining high durability in the turbo components. Engine Braking Control The effect of four-stroke 'engine braking' when the throttle valves are closed has a significant impact on handling and ride character. Yamaha developed a special system which employs the ISC (idle speed control) circuit and ECU map using throttle valve movement and rpm information to reduce negative intake pressure during deceleration. Coated Aluminum Cylinders The lightweight aluminum block has ceramic composite plating applied directly to the cylinder wall to eliminate the need for a steel cylinder sleeve and in doing so ensures excellent abrasion resistance and cooling performance. Press Forged Crank Shaft A specialized press method manufacturing process is adopted (forging process without twisting
