2007 Yamaha Phazer Mountain Lite

by SnowMobiles on April 16, 2008

The Phazer Mountain Lite is a cute looking sled once you get used to it. It is pretty good on handling and comfort. Its track is well suited and the skis and suspension are great. Being light is mainly the thing that makes it a great mountain sled although sometimes it just lacks the power to get you to the top. It has its 80hp, but somehow they’re not enough. It’s a cute machine and at a nice price, but there are others that will perform much better than it. Still, check out its characteristics:

What people are mainly complaining about is overheating. If you get it you should be careful not to push it too far. It’s just not the sled that’s gonna last you for a long time. Very soon you’ll be looking for something else to trade it for. It works as a beginners sled and if that’s the case I say go for it, but if not just look for something more reliable. There’s plenty of choice before you. Just try and avoid any Phazer variation possible.
