YAMAHA-SPECIFIC INFO:
• What do you think of the race sled so far? It will be good.
• Why did you choose to ride a Yamaha this season? It’s a great company and the FX Nytro RTX.
• What do you think are the sled’s strengths? Motor and suspension.
• What are your goals for the season? Try to win races and championships.
• Why are you a good fit for the FX Nytro? My size and riding style.
• Describe the difference between a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke race sled: The 2-stroke sleds burn oil and stink, they get poor fuel economy under race conditions plus you have to replace pistons and rings every 300 to 500 miles. The Yamaha 4-stroke sleds are smooth, quiet, no smoke and are very good on gas under race conditions. Just turn the key and ride; just have to change the oil every 2000 racing miles. One ride and you will be a believer.
