It certainly was more expensive because it was built 1000x better than that Fischer price junk 900 ace Was reading they had to pay royalties on the 1200 too. But that doesn’t excuse them for making the 900 such junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 900 is like a complete summation of DooTalk represented in a motor. Fuck is it just complete and utter man queef 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a garbage can compared to the 1200 or 998 I mean think of the 4s engines the manus have had in the last 10 years. Yamaha 998 apex , 998 winder , 1049 nytro Polaris - Weber 750 Cat , Zuk 1100 Skidoo 1200 , 900 , 600 Of those motors there is no question which stand out as absolute tinker toy underperforming junk. Just pathetic. I mean that little Weber 750 could take damn near as much power as the 900ace and was probably a whole lot faster lb for lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severely limited boost at low Rpm and ramped in really slowly. My stock 09 still ran 120 on my gps on a crusty hard riverbed. My cfr ran 119 that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 900 is like a complete summation of DooTalk represented in a motor. Fuck is it just complete and utter man queef I still maintain the 900 turbo is the sweetest stock motor and most versatile 4 stroke made. I had mine set up for light duty offtrailing and it was pretty awesome with the 16x137x1.75 track, fat skis, etc.. for a 4 stroke. Cheap to run miles on for sure compared to most any sled other than the non turbos. You want to drag race or build it up, its probably not an option.

I think you were in love with the chassis more than the motor. Imagine a proper turbo motor in a good chassis like the g4 or the axys.

You can’t understand unless you ride them. spot on. the scaffold suspension sleds a different animal with forward and back body position. the way it travels rough trails is better than any other sled i have ridden once i got the shocks figured out and fat boy springs in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup , not sure who that sled was sprung for but I had to have it cranked up for my 210 lbs. Also the shock valving is just completely retarded. Have to have springs maxed and compression set to 1-2. Anything past that on the rear shock and it rode like a fucking brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better trail sled than my current just not made for the mix of offtrail/trail riding we do which is why my first choice would be an SBA 146 with a 1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
