Jet Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 with the way the groomers have been dropping the ball the past few years I'm not sure. I've put plenty of miles on the pro s and love it but I'm thinking maybe pro x and going 2018? Xcr seems to wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR is a rough trail ditch banger and most reports are that it is awesome but gives up a little speed the pro-x is fucking useless and is for flat brimmers to brag about their shocks. That fucking thing spends more time on one ski then it does two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they got the 15's mostly right ...there were some minor engine calibration changes made from 15 to 16 to lean out the top end a little but otherwise they are all the same for the most part. I bought a 16 and it was flawless. I'd cut you a good deal on a 16 Pro-s with 2200 miles jetster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go with the pro s.. how should I stud it? I have a really nice custom pattern that I used for mine. Way more scratch lines then the standard template. I'll take a pic of how I made the jigs for you. It worked well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drilled them so I could alternate them and flip them over and I think I got 17 scratch lines in a 4-2-4-2-4-3 pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted October 4, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 4, 2017 I just felt the fronts couldnt take a hard hit out of the blue unless spring and compression were both cranked to the max, I like the ride hight better, I'm in between a S and X on that..I like it a lot..the Hygear Springs are really a sweet set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They were a huge improvement over stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 My last 3 brand new sleds have been cats. I put 6500 miles on a 03f7sp, 8500 miles 08 F1000sp and 7000 miles 12 1100 turbo sp.. I'll keep the turbo but I'm just in love with axys. I want it. I don't need it.. I just want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No engine issues with the CTEC 600's here. I guess we'll see how their 800 holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 You couldn't give me a 600 anything.. I can't stand 600's. 800's are fine, I can live with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
