helldriver Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) ok, we all know the shees last year is this year,, BUT can someone tell me why this is so? i have heard all sorts of things, so does someione have the correct answer? the reasons I have heard are things like,,, the tree huggers and the emmisons ruling, the bann on 2 strokes is comming and my answer to that is, thet technolgy is there to make a 2 stroke pass emmisons, they are still gonna sell 2 stroke dirt bikes then i heard its because of the new 4 strokes,, nobody wants a 2 stroke, or put the money into one anymore,, and my answer to that is if yamaha updated the shee, with even the smallest upgrade,, they would make a forutune selling a new improved shee than i heard its becuse they cant have 15 year old quad beating a new model that is supossed to be the best around,,, and i have heard a million others so for once can someone please thell me the real reason??????

MudSlinger09 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 dude tree huggers have been at it for a while , thats also why there are no more 2 stroke boat motors , think they stopped makin them a few years back.. Quote
tats4life Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 they still make 2 stroke marine motors and yamaha and kawi are still making there 2 stroke ski's...everything is going to 4 stroke in marine industry is because of "NOISE" Quote
ellison445 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Gotta love the f**king tree huggers!!! Quote
1.6i Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 :thumbdown: As long as we have our shee's noone can take that away! Quote
MudSlinger09 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 oh they still make 2 stroke outboards???? had no idea Quote
Dinner Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Yea i'm hearing that 2 strokes are too hard on the environment...and as you said helldriver the technology is there. Bombardier are making new 2 stroke engines that are way better for the environment Does anyone know how long it will take sleds to all change to 4 stroke...i know Yamaha is, but are any of the others changing?

On the sleds...Ski Doo has a two stroke that meets the 2006 requirements...last I knew the yamaha RX-1 didnt Quote
Dinner Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Oh thanks rebelbanshee2...i just know about Bombardier because one of my friends its a Ski-Doo freak..lol Do you think it would be possible to put the 2-TEC 1000 SDI into a quad frame ...just wondering becuase that would be insane Quote
helldriver Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) than i guess the gas gas 300 will cease to exist too? and what about chainsaws, and weedwackers,, i sure as hell dont want 4 stroke chainsaw Edited October 4, 2005 by helldriver Quote

rebelbanshee2 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 I think we still have the "privilege" (somehow 'right' didnt seem like the correct word ) of buying 2 stroke saws and weed wackers...for now Quote
helldriver Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Posted October 5, 2005 Thats what electric chainsaws are for. 422929[/snapback] yeah, ok, i'll just drag my 2 mile extension cord into the woods Quote
