My xrs rips the corners, I got it set up perfectly now imo. It’s not as flat cornering as an axys or procross but i can’t tell a difference between prestons X and my xrs as far as handling and ride height are concerned. Over the past few rides I’ve tweaked the rebound and got the rear skid dialed in, I’m down to 3 on the compression adjusters on both the front and rear track shocks and have the torsions set to 3 with couplers set to 2. Sag is perfect and it hooks pretty hard even with a rip 1. The 1.5” studs make all the difference in the world compared to the short 1.325s doo recommends which are useless with that track. @bussman can comment on handling coming from a cat. Poo and cat have the best front suspensions in the business as of now, Maybe the RAS X evens it out.

Yes.

278 miles on a 2019 ctec 800 and it blew it up. The meth is strong at the cat plant

Multiple Ctec 800s got dirty gaped today by our 850 doos. Holy shit they’re average.

Early reports coming in that he’s stable. If true, that’s amazing and thank god. Im not holding my breath though, media reports are always viewed with skepticism in my book.

I'd venture to guess the turbo is toast too being a journal bearing design? Either way, i feel for woolie. That sucks. He blows up a 2 stroke, goes to a 4 stroke for reliability purposes and this happens. Fuckin sleds. They're all great until they break.

DP.

Not too bad locally today. Rode about 80 miles or so. Most was pretty good, some corners were thin. We could use another 6” to make things very acceptable. All in all a nice day. It was beautiful out.

Maybe ride it some more and don’t use ethanol fuel and you wouldn’t have had a sticky injector

Jesus, the fuckin thing come uncunted or what? The doo mechanic up in land o lakes WI told Preston and Steve that he would never buy an 800 etec. Said the 850s have been much better.

how have the vertex heaters been? Anything I should be doing maintenance wise?

We have an AO Smith vertex 100,000 btu water heater. It was newly installed when we moved in, $2,000-$2,500 That being said it’s endless hot water and a very nice unit.

Here’s the stock one

Lol me. The medium windshield from doo is a lot bigger then I expected so I painted that and the hand guards black to help make it look better. It looks nice in person.

Come on over to lando!

It was unbelievably fun. Steve and Preston can flat out ride too with their big bore sleds, but they said they were working hard to keep up. meanwhile I was just cruising at 50-70, not even leaning into the corners, pinching it as I came out lol.

It fuckin rips through the trails. They’re flat and fast tonight in WI.

Vintage ftw @Angry ginger

the Axys front, specifically the xcr is superior to the RAS 3 on the G4. It cornered flatter and felt more confident in nearly all conditions with the same bergstrom shim/7.5 shaper setup. The RAS 3 is good though. With pilot 5.7s. I’ve heard bad things about the TS skis on the G4. r motion wins as far as rear suspension comfort goes. Weight transfer and hook up go to my xcr. 850 etec is slightly better then the poo 800ho, specifically in the midrange. Bottom end feels comparable. The etec is a smoother engine, that’s obvious. chassis ergos go to the axys but the G4 is also very good, IMO

Interesting. See my edit above

I always thought my 121 xcr accelerated and handled very well, and rode fairly decent all things considered. I’m not sure I’d want anything longer then a 121 in that specific sled. The r motion on my XRS is fantastic though and I find that the pro 40s are also very good. I think I have it dialed in pretty well. Limiter strap on hole 1, fts lightly compressed, and rebound set to 5 of like 30 on both front and rear track shocks rear torsions on 2 of 5. Couplers on 2. Sag is perfect. It hooks and rides really well
