If only it could be seen esp if you use any sort of riser unless you like the bars by your knees. that is 1 place the g4 is superior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it could be seen esp if you use any sort of riser unless you like the bars by your knees. that is 1 place the g4 is superior I can see my gauges just fine while riding , have a taller riser, and I don't have the bars at my knees. Rode a '17 Renegade today. Still don't like the seating position, seat, or handle bars. Seat is to narrow. I don't like how you sit further forward. And the handle bar riser set up is garbage. 850 wasn't as strong as my 800. All the times we raced, I easily won. Hard packed, soft, didn't matter what we were on. One thing I did like better is the new clutch. It back shifts way better in the tight twisties. Don't have to use brakes as much when you had to slow down in the turns. Other than that, I'm very happy I went with the XRS Renegade instead of the Renegade X 850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT MXZ XRS Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Stopped to look at a cabin one of my bosses owns. Just waiting to hear how much he wants for it Sunday near Seney This came in handy this weekend looking for short cuts and connector trails from cabin to the trails that lead back to where we were staying.

If the price is right, Looks pretty new. We've been renting for the last 4 years, and its perfect being able to just leave the sleds and gear up there, and commute back ad forth with a trailer in tow. We already told the lady we want it next year too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already told the lady we want it next year too It's actually not, just well maintained. It was built in the late 70s. Everything stays too (furniture , appliances, beds, etc) What's really nice about it is, it's only 4 miles from the nearest town. .7 miles from the main road. .8 miles from a main snowmobile trail (both which are a direct straight shot). And only 5 1/2 hours from my house. There's also a seasonal road that leads to another main trail. Just in case the snow is low on the main trail access .8 miles directly. 28 minutes ago, Angry ginger said: nice looking spot jay, aswoolie said it's nice when you can leave everything up north Thanks. It is (as you've read above) Unfortunately, I'd have to leave the trailer up there at the local storage facility There's no garage or barn to keep the sleds in up there. And being that it is where it's at, and no other cabins around, I wouldn't leave my trailer with sled on the property. It's sad that we live in a world where you have to be like this because someone will steal your stuff. Cool thing is, there's a storage facility in town that I could park my sleds and trailer at, for a great price. I'm not gonna get my hopes up, until I know a price on it. But if the price is right, and it can be had, I'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
