Had one Jim, they were reliable, built off the 600 if I recall but as bhent said, they were not a performance 700. Coming from an 06 f7 to 08 700 poo it was a bit of a difference.

Some blew up, some didn't. My neighbor had one that blew the first year and then again 2 years later. And a guy at my club had one that blew the second year. But NewfieBullet had one that he racked up a ton of miles on and it never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks! This thing is in way better shape than that cfr1000. Two owner machine. Even got the original owners manual. Well taken care of. This will be my thrid IQ. I owned a 07 600cfi and a 2010 dragon switchback 600cfi. I love the chassis. Helps that I also think it is one of the best looking sleds on snow lol.

Just to give you a heads up, apparently there is a common issue with the intake boots leaking on these things. This one was idling around 2200-2300. Should be around 1700-1800. Turns out mine is the same lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 My friend Matt had a Dragon RMK w/700cfi. He was 6’5” and went over 220 pounds. It dragged him around the hills of Wyoming just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
