2018 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX SE
- Location:
- Apex Cycle Sports
This Sidewinder L-TX SE is in very nice condition and has had PowerMadd handguards and a genuine Yamaha accessory tunnel bag added, increasing what was already an enticing find.
CONQUER SNOW
The Sidewinder L-TX SE is built for the aggressive trail rider looking to commit an all-out assault on rough, technical trails. The Sidewinder SE model utilizes FOX Zero RC front shock absorbers to offer a wide range of rebound and compression damping adjustments. The shocks include high quality hard chrome rods with anodized 1.5" bodies for added durability and a smooth ride on a variety of terrain.

Features may include:
PERFORMANCE- High Tech Turbo
- Mitsubishi Electronic Control Unit
- Triple Throttle Body Induction
- Centralized Mass Design
- SRV Front suspension
- Standard Electric Start
The Nickel alloy turbine body is extremely strong and precise, able to withstand highly elevated temperatures. Supported by premium, ceramic ball bearings, the Inconel turbine blade assembly is very light and strong. This yields a low moment of inertia for lightning quick response to exhaust gas input. Triple throttle bodies are used exclusively to further enhance the quick delivery of compressed air from the impeller to intake valves.
The Yamaha-developed Mitsubishi ECU uses a series of 9 sensors to gather running condition data which it computes using a predetermined memory 'map'. It then adjusts ignition timing, fuel delivery, manifold air-pressure and turbo boost pressure to produce maximum performance under any condition - reliably.
Yamaha wanted an engine that's exceptionally quick to respond with little or no 'lag' as found in a conventional turbo. One of the ways they achieved their goal was to develop an intake system using three separate throttle bodies positioned very close to the intake valves. Instead of just one feeding long intake tubes - something that is not seen in any other production turbo on the planet. And another first for Yamaha with the Genesis turbo.
HANDLINGThe SRV chassis layout was engineered with the goal of centralizing mass. Approximately 60 percent of the sled's weight is tightly centered within the main triangulation. The result is a quick-handling, well balanced sled, that's fun to throw around in a wide variety of conditions.
The SRV front suspension geometry is aimed at managing spindle camber, resulting in minimized bump-steer and maximized cornering bite giving rider confidence in varying trail conditions. The A-arms are mounted at a 30-degree angle from the sled's centerline to efficiently dissipate impact force throughout the entire chassis. Likewise, the front shocks mount directly to the leading spar so that trail forces are routed to the strongest part of the chassis. Wide a-arm spacing minimizes flex and stress in the front suspension system, which means consistent and confident corner handling.COMFORT
Yamaha's electric starter system allows you to fire up your Sidewinder with the turn of a key. There is no pulling on a nylon cord to get this high-tech engine growling! And you don't pay more - Elec
