It was surprisingly a decent trail sled. For weighting in line with a Abram's tank it steers surprisingly light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo's however need a high level of respect. Corners come up DAMN FAST on them if you are not careful. That said you can kill yourself on a 440 fan if you drive like an idiot. Sure but you're not going to do 120mph on a 440. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron is a good guy, with a passion for snowmobiling, does a lot for the local clubs always willing to help with equipment, parts, and repairs..We have been friends for about 10 years, when I got my first sled ever, 07 phazer, wanted it faster, so googling "performance parts for Phazers" I found him just before he got the dealership. We have been buds ever since plus we do some business together, he buys equipment and parts from me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the bumper to bumper, swapping paint going balls to the wall trail riding. Simply don't ride that way up north anymore. I got too much respect for others on the trails to ride so fast I can't stay in my lane. I like the power for when it can be properly used.

Early December might be looking good for the UP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. My wife rides a GSX 4 stroke and its a fine trail machine. Honestly as far as being tired at the end of the day steering effort makes a much bigger difference than actual weight or "feel" of the sled....at least on trails.

This is why people make fun of people that ride doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I will tell you that the 2 stroke 900 flew 130' and landed, the 4 stroke went caddywhompus immediately after impact and beat the hell out of the driver.

Dude must I remind you that you own a sled that you had to wrestle fuck a bracing kit into so the front bulkhead doesn't fold up like one of f7bens empty Coors Light cans when you hit a bump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
