I hope Chris has better luck than most of us did Last year. I came off a 06 M-7 that ran flawlessly for me for 3-4 years and wanted to try something differant, so I bought a D-8, rolled chain-case to install anti rachet drivers(stupid center drive), installed a challenger extreem for a better powder track and rode it half the season before I gave up on it (towed out 3 times) twice seized, once ecu went up in smoke. They (Polaris) have now detuned the already low on power motor to make it last, now if you go look at a turbo d-8 that has 3000 miles on it (second crank also) that Is on the Poo site under Indy Dans thread the crank design (or lack there of) breaks the case on the mag side due to side load from the clutch. I for one am glad Artic Cat is pulling in there Purse strings in these uncertain times and hope they stay afloat if that is why Chris split. Maybe Poo should be putting the Money they are throwing at Chris (if there is any) into there R&D team. I bought Cat before I ever heard of Chris and if they are still here in the future I will continue. If you have a poor design I don't care if you are a big name or just a Farmer like Myself, it will break on ya.
