No, but we share all of them and swap, he likes the 600 Rush setup. We both ride the Indy, just trying to get them all dialed in now. Cat's stock shock pressure was about 55 PSI when we rode it on Sat, so I increased it but still want to change those out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also put a new mill in the 2012 Poo Adventure last year we just got broken in. Sometimes the cost of keeping employees happy with sharing your passions isn't that much after all.

Poncho Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Well another great run. 850 still hanging in. 1100 miles, original plugs, no starting issues or snags. Fuel burn is similar to my 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Finished off the weekend, great rides on Thursday and Friday, almost 600 miles, however; today we had an ETEC down. . Towed it back with the trusty Polaris. The last doo I towed was my buddies MachZ. Anyway, today the ride was cut short. Fun but too bad for my buddy Doo rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Funny all three sleds, the 600, 800 and the 850 are close in fuel burn, the 850 the best, 600 burnt the most. FTR all are the same efficiency as my old 1200, so I’m happy with that.....my buddies ETEC had the best mileage on this trip...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took the adolescent Poo out for a ride Sun morning, stop at Memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the same with my 05 Mach Z, fortunately mine worked well my buddies not so, fuel pump, clutch and some other things. He sold it and the proud new owner spun the crank out of it. Did you actually buy a Fusion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 90's Japs would still be on the road if I kept up with the Krown sprays, they were bullet, but they don't make them like than anymore. Today they are all pretty good so buy what you want. FYI, buyer beware, wife's 2010 and brothers 2014 Sante Fe's are complete POS's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
