The Ski Doo skid is set up better but the Yammi is definitely faster. you lose a lot of acceleration when you pull the skis that high off the ground. Plus the ski doo probably went through 8 belts in this video haha. good job yammi
The 1200cc stock Ski-doo was only ever a 125HP class sled. Which the Ski-doo 600R is capable of. Yamaha have been 150+ HP stock for nearly 15+ years now. They aren't a comparable snow machine really. The Yamaha genesis engines that were taken from street bikes and became popular in snowmobiles with the RX-1 are in a class of their own. The new factory turbo versions can hit nearly 300HP with just a ECU re-flash. A 998cc engine that makes 300HP and revs to around 11,000 RPM on the snow machines and 13,000 RPM on the motorcycle version. No one is going to contend with that for years. Only Yamaha competes with Yamaha now.
The Yamaha needs to set his rear skid better. The front end coming up is killing his traction on the start. He clearly has more than the Doo. The Doo does have one less cylinder but has 200cc more. Talking to the OSP racing guys, they do full mod turbos for Yamaha, Cat and Doo. He told me he can get around 600HP out of the Doo and Cat/Suzuki motors but can get over 700HP out of an Apex motor in full mod turbo form.
There are people that get well over those numbers with all the engines apparently. Also, the doo is also lifting off of the start so wouldn't that make them even? Not taking away from the apex but y'know.. I'm a doo kinda guy XD
the apex suspension is not set up properly, even when he'd fuck up on hole shot he was always able to catch up and pass that ski-doo that has 200 more cc, imagine if his apex was set up properly the ski-doo wouldn't stand a chance in hell, someone said ski-doo is nicer sled lol, yamaha is way more reliable and better looking machine in my opinion, give it a little more time and that ski-doo will need a rebuild lol
Ah, the dumb frenchman is back at it again. Who was sporting more cc's didn't have shit to do with it. Obviously, the Yamaha had the better turbo kit and it was set up to run harder than the Doo. A 1200 Doo can be set up to run just as fast, or faster.
guy proulx Its got nothing to do with discriminating and everything to do with not knowing what the fuck you're talking about and saying stupid shit, every time you open your mouth.
Yamaha should have made a 800 triple 2stroke Yamaha triples were the best of any manufacturer, they coould go to the drags and be competitive and then go trail riding all day and never break down.
LOL, that thing is like my old YFZ 450, it was so nasty it was hard to get it off the line even with a +10" swing arm. Had to sit on the tank and hope you got a little less traction. Looks like a blast.
I would launch the apex at 10psi at 3800 rpm. Engagement at 4000. It was a beast off the line but its the only was to keep with the 1200 out of the hole. Once u were out of the hole the apex was always faster. It was unpredictable because of the mono shock rear suspension.
iv seen 5 800 ski doos blow up on river i have two friend who blew theres up this year also it tells me to stay far far away from skidoo. my 2000 700 yamaha has 12,700miles on it and can beat a 2012 f11 turbo cat out of the hole till 85 then he slowly pulls me at 105 hes 4 sled lengths ahead
ITs 13lbs of boost. I was driving it in this vid. Here is a vid of it going 0-100mph in about 4 sec. I had the old guages on it at the time. ruclips.net/video/tRjY4MVHaJw/видео.html As for track spin, yes there is alot but I bring it over 100mph and let go so its known that im well over the speed.
That sound is a two step. When you use it you can keep the throttle glued to the handle bar and it will keep the revs at a certain spot until you let off the brake. It gives you a more constant hole shot.
The apex is only faster bc it has 4 cylinders and not 3 like the skidoo 1200 its not about who has the most cc's or the better turbo set up but compare apples to apples use yamahas 1049cc tripple 4 stroke or there 998cc tripple 4 stroke the race will he more fair along with the same ammount of boost in the turbo
Ski-doo has more bottom drag than the Yamaha, and in turn the yamaha has better top-end speed, in this video the Yamaha is clearly abit more tuned. ive buillt Ski.doo's, Yamaha's and an Arcticat with guys at SHS and i can tell you the Doo' doessnt go throuh more belts than any other sled, actually Yami and skidoo keeps em longest.
Ahh yes the apex, goes from 0-holy fuck I'm going to die in about half a secound
Lol 0 to holy fuck real quick
I've always said you can die just as easy on a 500cc.
Forget 0-60 times
This is 0-Dead in 3 seconds
the ski doo with blow up once a year the apex will go 40k miles and still will run great just getting broke in
The Ski Doo skid is set up better but the Yammi is definitely faster. you lose a lot of acceleration when you pull the skis that high off the ground. Plus the ski doo probably went through 8 belts in this video haha. good job yammi
if the apex could keep the skis on the ground it wouldn't even be close
My dad just bought a stock 2007 Apex in the summer. Tried it recently, holy shit! The power that machine has is so unbelievable!
Both bad ass sleds.. good vid

Yamaha has the world record holes for fastest sled its the yamaha world record turbo drag sled and it goes 500 feet in 3 seconds

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA lol
The didn't has 4 cyl. also
Royce McCarthy the doo is a triple
Tdavid G hypersports gets close to 700hp on the cats now. My cousin has the super stroker motor and running 669hp

i would like to see yamaha have a 1200, he would bury that ski-doo on take off
Your a fool it comes down to wbo has a better step

guy proulx ROTFL...you're just dumb enough to believe that, aren't you? Don't ever change guy....I always get a laugh out of your comments.
That's some good fun racing there!!! Great work guys!!!Skydog
That is so Awesome, that Apex runs away every time...Those things Run Good..
Yamaha should have made a 800 triple 2stroke

Was the do running an anti-lag? It didnt seem like it. I would like to see both pull from an idle.
Both kick ass sleds!! Go race boys...
i wish my sled had that problem
pretty sure you guys needed new belts after this lol great video

Both awsome power houses
I like the control over the out of control, but what a lake screamer.
turbos on sled's is just crazy power !!!! but still fun
gosh dang those things are beasts!
The doo looked alot more manageable, less of a white knuckle takeoff.
iv seen 5 800 ski doos blow up on river i have two friend who blew theres up this year also it tells me to stay far far away from skidoo. my 2000 700 yamaha has 12,700miles on it and can beat a 2012
f11 turbo cat out of the hole till 85 then he slowly pulls me at 105 hes 4 sled lengths ahead
I'm a Yamaha fan...433 R thunder-jet sno-jet 1972 pan cake...
kick ass Punisher sticker on the yamaha windshield! i had a huge one like that on my 1999 dodge ram all white, looked bad ass
that sounds about as gay as aids.
that's not funny, aids is not a joke
Jordan Jansen thanks for the input mother...
the apex was getting so much grip the guy couldn't even hang on lol.
some snow would be more of a battle
so that was launch control... on a snowmobile... i thought i saw it all
ITs 13lbs of boost. I was driving it in this vid. Here is a vid of it going 0-100mph in about 4 sec. I had the old guages on it at the time. ruclips.net/video/tRjY4MVHaJw/видео.html

i get the chills, apex is a speed devil, it must be brother to diablo!
Can i ask how fast you were going in some of the clips?
lol . funny but the 1200 and apex are pretty good engines both . if it was a 800 2stroke then it would blow up every year lol
The Surgeon General never said anything about smoking a Ski Doo
Does anyone know how to get hold of a windshield like that? The Chrome one that The apex has.
the skidoo seems to handle the power alot better.
I agree clear Yamaha win
set suspension up.
Wow that is just to crazy! Nice video.
Im just trying not to die on a stock apex, and people turbo them lol.
was he hitting the kill switch or was the engine messed up?
That sound is a two step. When you use it you can keep the throttle glued to the handle bar and it will keep the revs at a certain spot until you let off the brake. It gives you a more constant hole shot.
ha ha, That apex needs a launch control to keep it on the ground.
Bad ass that apex can pick its own ass up
i would never by a 2stroke again after I got a Yamaha 2strokes are like a Harley Davidson the engines don't last .
What setup do u have my friend on the apex
People cry about Yamaha don't see any 4 strokes broken down on derby's.
damn how fast does them things run
Insane.
The apex is only faster bc it has 4 cylinders and not 3 like the skidoo 1200 its not about who has the most cc's or the better turbo set up but compare apples to apples use yamahas 1049cc tripple 4 stroke or there 998cc tripple 4 stroke the race will he more fair along with the same ammount of boost in the turbo
just needs to relax his take off with out a wheelie and will win every single time
what length track you have?
Yamaha has a world record the apax 1812 miles in 24 hours
Love the apex but I dont believe thats 13 lbs.
Good thing I wasn't wearing headphones
Set your suspension up already...
the blue one is gettin it
What rpm for launch and boost?
I thought you steer with the front.....
i would tank a skidoo anyday there verry nice sleds
You see, the problem is the apex has too much power, and wont stay on the ground
i think i might just have to get one of these lol
sick sled, but god 4 strokes just dont sound good at all
Yamaha super
11 sec what a hole shot...
I love yamis!!!
RIP belt
Ski-doo has more bottom drag than the Yamaha, and in turn the yamaha has better top-end speed, in this video the Yamaha is clearly abit more tuned.
ive buillt Ski.doo's, Yamaha's and an Arcticat with guys at SHS and i can tell you the Doo' doessnt go throuh more belts than any other sled, actually Yami and skidoo keeps em longest.
Looks scary .sled from hell
it sounds like it has!!
nice!
Yamaha is a proven engine
braap!
Wow
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!
136in track
Apex only wins cause he cuts of the ski-doo
YOu know... there is sucn a thing as just too much power... or maybe there isn't :o)
They used to mod Model A's. I'm just guessing there lol. I race horses for a living and even we have gotten faster every year.
Send it
this guy needs to tighten his from strap jesus..
i agree krazykurty177
Damn
Being fast on a Yamaha is like being the pie eating contest champion. No one cares.
YAMAHA ATE ITS BALLS OF SHIT DOO TO BREAKFAST :d LOLS LOLS!!!!!!!!
