Ouch! My back hurts thinking about it!
3 gallons more right?
I think I will be riding with the lighter 2 strokes! I see more lessons need to be learned. (already learned mine)
Not nocking the sled. Beautiful design and it will go. I was the same at 22 and 27 yrs old. Have fun boys, just don't expect the group to be around when you get burried in the deep. Seen it, done it. I have seen a many finally sell the heavy for the light. Even the biggest and the best get older and smarter. I got tired waisting my day and my back on someone elses decision. We went to 800 turbo. jmo
Guess what! Who Cares what it weighs.
LMAO
EVERYONE cares what they weigh. That is why these threads are so popular right now.
This will be my 10th season riding a 4 stroke mountain sled (12,000 plus miles) and I have been on this and other forums the whole time talking 4 stroke sleds. Every year all I heard was how heavy my Yamaha was, how I was an idiot for not riding a two stroke, there is no way to start it when the battery dies, blah, blah, blah, etc. etc. etc.
So now that AC has a 4 stroke that weighs more than a Yamaha, and this season weight doesn't matter? You guys are nuts.
Take off the green blinders, I have my blue ones off. Weight does matter - I was hoping the cat would be 30 lbs lighter than my Yamaha so that Yamaha would try to shed some more weight. I guess we'll have to wait for Doo or Poo to put out a lightweight 4 stroke.
He guess what. . . I have been riding a yamaha turbo the past two years. . .
And you are OK upgrading to a heavier sled?
What 700lb 4 strokes were around in the 1980's?? jk
Maybe one day we will have our cake, and eat it too! Until then I refuse to consider a top end rebuild between 1500-2000 miles "preventative maintenance" haha!
The point was weight, not 4 strokes. And yes we had 670 lbs sleds until we got smarter. Do your research on when the first high hp turbos came out. They were not just invented. We ran a 120 hp 440 ice racer in the 80s and won because of power to weight. Have you learned about power to weight yet?
