Gotta give those Canooks credit for that for sure. Helps with the loss of it for adjustable carbides and that mess of shit on the running boards.

I want the ES for the first start of the day, The only negative i had to say about my 12 freeride was roping it after it sat in the unheated barn for a week or 2 after that roping it was fine.

I’m of the thought that all weight matters. Of course, it depends on how you ride and the trade off should be be strength if it can be helped. I can’t remember the exact numbers but, I pulled the e start and battery out of my Doo (it came with it as a “free gift”. ) and it came to like 23-25 lbs??? That’s a good chunk sitting up front. At the same time I junked the stock pipe and muffler for lightweight ceramic versions and it shaved somewhere around 40 lbs. THAT was huge. I had to adjust my suspension for it!

I love when i hear that because I have had 5 etec sleds none of which were a half a pull cold whether 600 or 800's. My 800 cold was a bitch and I've had to prime my ES 800's a few times with a rope when the battery was weak as a weak battery wasn't turning it over either.
