well they better be careful or the shareholders will be on the shortlist..
surely someones weighed the Sno Pro

Short List
Yeah, spring orders will be on the short list too. The real reason for one chassis is DOLLARS. Different chassis would require different tooling and changing tooling on the assembly line, expensive. Shareholders have something to say to corporate about profits!!! Wyo is correct though, should have had a different fuel tank at least. Small items would have been doable.
Polaris did have a four stroke chassis, the IQ. 750 turbo motor, guess what?, it was and still is heavy! :face-icon-small-sho

bye bye suzuki.2 stroke cats might become a collector item?
Yea well the economics of offering two different chassis configurations makes no sense from a ROI standpoint. The needs of each engine type are quite close. The torque from the 4/s is where the beefing up happens on the chassis, thus the weight for both...........
Listen, you guys can whine post after post about the weight, but that is not going to change anything for this year. If you are that concerned about the weight, there are plenty of other choices out there. go vote with your pocketbook and buy something else.....
Personally I like the fact of having a chassis that will handle the punch of a 4/s so when I boost my 2 stroke to equivalent power it will hold up, wait 4 yrs from now and the 2/s boosted sleds are still running with little maintenance and a good resale value. Just build the rest of the stuff for a 2/s

If nothing else, these "weight" topics are entertaining to read sometimes. Just a definate sign that we need snow. :face-icon-small-ton
5 pages so far, how long do you think we can keep going,
I bet by the end of next year the value of the pro is going to drop like a sack of

Who keeps there sled stock!!! im serious though you guys talk like its yamiheavy 40 pounds should come off cheap. And its right there with the bro but stout as hell..
Wam bam, i have never had a sled that i kept the stock can, and didnt do a few cheap lightweight mods.

One more post to keep it going! Besides, they had flurries in the forecast and they just took that away.
To summarize this thread so far - Poo's won't last more than one season (the chassis that is, the motors won't make it for the first ride), our Cat's are going to be lumber carts, if we put helium in our oil tanks we'd all notice the massive weight savings, and Cat engineers don't know squat.
Oh, and we're all bored. That about sum it up?
Got 2-4" of snow on the snotel's around the area, forcast for a chance of more this weekend and everything above 7000ft is white. big horns are reading at 13" after dropping from 16" to 9", if it keeps up we are going to have a base soon.
Disappointed with the new Pro Climb.........dont buy one then, and oh by the way stop in the Polaris section and read about all the things you have to add to the Pro to make it last, and read about all the broken motor mounts and the dreaded bog, dont forget about the 145 HP motor, wow that gets me excited :doh:

i gave my son a ZR 120 yesterday for his 3 year old bday, i woke up this morning to my boy going "daaady daadddy it snowed it snowed" he had his winter boots on the wrong feet his coat on and was ready to rip... lol we got 2 inches, mostly melted away now.

cool
You people sure take the fun out of a bad decision.
Btw, buying a cat. We'll make it work, easier than dealing with poo issues.

Sled Weights
Bob when you post your weight results PLEASE start a fresh thread so I don't have to scroll though who knows how many pages to find them. All good arguments but all I want is real comparable wet weights. Thankyou:faint:
