Only gripe I had with indy is the shocks are soft in the rear. Fronts were fine even if they were revalved for this year it would make a difference in the 137 but if they are the same I dunno. :dunno:

See mine was stiff, even with my fat ass on it I could only have the torsions on 1. I put the softer springs on and cranked up the compression on the rear shock and it's fucking magical now.

Snowtrax reviewed it as well. Say the 137 rear might be R motion good. The reason the Polaris is fast is the drive line. Short chain, brake on the jack shaft, and better clutches then doo

I had to crank mine to high it was so soft and shocks 3 clicks off hard. My 350lbs buddy need to get the extra heavy duty springs for his.

It’s better than the tra but the Polaris clutches just work

It's pretty good right out of the box. It can always be made better tho.

Will you look at the 850 Polaris now? 

I would but I wont spend 13k+ for one. Both the g4 and axys are outstanding chassis. The 850 etec is a great motor and I'm sure the 850 patriot will be too

Yeah they are butter smooth and also run cool. 2900 miles on my belt. :snack:

3223 on mine and it still looks good. We were running the twisties pretty hard and I thought I smelled some rubber so when we stopped I checked and clutches were warm but not hot. Same with belt. I was pretty impressed. Ran that thing pinned on a grade for some long runs, I'm like if this is gonna blow up it's gonna go now. :lol:

Etecs are great engines, probably the best offered from any manufacturer right now. I do miss the fuel economy of my etec.

I would get 13-14 riding it hard. That's pretty good.

The springs are stiff. I guess for back country riding they are better. But riding those buttery smooth trails the softer springs are the shit.
