Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted March 1, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 1, 2020 Z1 Turbo IMO. Twin Spars are comfortable as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an 09 Turbo, adjustable handlebars and seat, seat warmer, stupid fast, handled very well, super comfortable. I put a 136" track on it and that made a good sled even better.

f7ben Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I’ve logged thousands on both. Need more details on sleds and what you plan to do with them. If the turbo has the stock cobra you can’t stud it and it won’t last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 The turbo is all stock, even the skis, Fox Floats. $3500 The Skidoo has new ripsaw, shocks, psi header & can, pb80, new idlers, new battery, and C&A's. $3800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Id probably be replacing the track and skis on the Cat right off the bat, and adding the tuner and clutch kit so there's work involved whereas the Skidoo is ready to ride. Decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of guys,don't like the dimond drive . I actualy like the early and late dimond drives a lot . but that over complex unit with reverse I am not a fan of . that said you maintain it keep your eye out for brass shavings and react accordingly with a new 5 pinion gear it will last a long time . you dont and it will grenade and take out the whole unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Do the procross chassis sleds have diamond drive too or did they go back to chain case? I'd rather not deal with the over complexity of diamond drive. It's a snowmobile, keep it simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rump-rider Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I had a 2011 gsx 1200, only an SE. great sled. I put 12,000 miles on it. Only issue was the clutch which I see that one already has a pb80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
