Yamaha Sneak Peek - 09 Phazer RTX

[kokueii]

What they dont say in this vid is that its weight balance is high up. so its not all that awesome to hillclimb with, ive tilted over dusins of times on my mtx turbo. actually pretty scary riding sideways on steep hills with this thing :P

[Quadzilla1011]

love the yamaha phazer rtx

[MrCoda47]

I have 08 144 track, on the flat, in deep snow with a good rider it's fine.

last year bought XP 800 great in deep snow,mountains,not so good on flat with no snow.

It's nice to have both so I can ride it all.

2010 AC Sno Pro 500 takes the Phazer out of my sight!

[yamaharules163]

@Mrarnoldo19 when u blow it up you will want the phazer back!

[mxbroadcast]

pahzer needs a 800 motor

[69joearnold]

Why wern't they braging about the fact that it has 80 hp and weighs as much as a 2 stroke 600???

[zziNsanityz]

@69joearnold becausea 4 stroke engin weighs like twice as much as a 2 stroke?

[69joearnold]

@zziNsanityz oh ya i forgot hahaha

[jtschid0910]

I'm from central minnesota and were supposed to get 2 feet of snow. I'm totally itching to get out and ride.

[KonaStinkyRid3R]

you can get like 15 to 20 more horsepower for like 700 bucks max with schmidt bros powersports. heard it makes all the difference

[netefrog]

Ya, but it needs 20-25 more horsepower to really compete with the 500ss/600 E-Tec in terms of power.....i'm not quite sure how they would go about getting that much extra power out of that motor but it has to be done....

[barachoisboy]

Im pretty sure that the phazer was never intended to compete with that power. realistically, at races and things like that the phazer is classified as a 440 and the apex is classified as a 700. I can acheave 21 mpg (cdn) and not need a top end every 2000 miles. If you want more power in an fx chassis, buy a nitro, which by the way weighs less than 500 lbs for '10 and I think that it will eat that ski-doo 4-tec 1200 for breakfast.

[netefrog]

Yeah the Nytro will deff mash the 4-Tec.....the Nytro is 138bhp geared for speed the 4-Tec is 132bhp geared for touring/cruising.........but ya the Phazer HMMM.....I still say that it needs about 20 more horsepower......underpowered 4-Strokes are the absolute most boring unentertaining sleds to ride IMO......so buy adding 20 more horsepower they could kill two birds with one stone...compete with 600 ski-doo with power and provide a more entertaining ride for the Phazer buyers....its a win/win..

[barachoisboy]

well, for the r-tx you can only go as fast as the terrain the machine was intended for will allow it to go so I think that for me its sufficient power, but I have to agree with you when it comes to the m-tx....that kind of power is a joke for a mountain machine. Yamaha has just left alot of phazer m-tx buyers dissapointed, and in turn has created a flooded market of used phazer trade ins dropping the value of them bad. here in canada anyway. The open tunnel on 07 and 08s sucks too, makes a mess.

[netefrog]

"Yamaha just used a motorcycle engine" I wouldnt word it like that, I would say that it is a multi use engine much like the Genesis 1000 engine........and there's nothing wrong with that.......

[barachoisboy]

I have an r-tx and on groomed trail over 130k's is pushing it, but I hear the gts have a 20 tooth top gear and get 150 to 160 kph.r-txs have an 18. I trail ride with 1000ccs and dont get left behind, but on the lake I fall short alot. The 2007s had a rear suspension problem that is now sorted out. I am 300 lbs and my r-tx takes all I can give it. you just have to tune the suspension for how hard you play. lots of consistant power.

[podborochynski]

yep

[netefrog]

No the new Phazer's are not fan cooled they are a 500cc ( Two 250cc dirt bike engines welded together) Liquid Cooled 4 Stroke Twin Cylinder with about 80 hp...........

[podborochynski]

yea mines got a rad so idk

[vectraB97]

my friends 07 phazer broke down 4 times last year and ones this year.. if you buy one dont turbo tune it.. reliability goes to hell.. 80hp on a 500cc 4stroke is a lot... if you need more hp buy a bigger sled...

[podborochynski]

yea ive go a 07 and i have no pros with mine just one

[vectraB97]

yeah.. you ride it stock? if you turbo tune it you will get trouble... so dont do that... ride it stock or buy a sled with more stock hp.. nytro++++++ nytro are reliable with a 220hp turbo.. phazer are not reliable with any turbo..

[podborochynski]

yea mine stock with a hauck single pipe.

[netefrog]

HMM it seems that I'm answering alot of your questions..LoL..anyways the Phazer will prob get up to 80-85 mph real world top end so unless your doin alot of lake running you will have no prob keeping up in the tight and twistys.

Now I have heard of a few break downs with the Phazer but I would still say its more reliable than a Ski-Doo anyday of the week.

So, if your considering gettin into this sport a Phazer is a Great start, leave the fan cooled junk where it sits..

Ride safe and have fun!

[2000kx1252]
