I'm thinking about buying one...what do you think?
Brand new, out of crate.
Is it a good sled, and what should i do to it to make it better. (ex: pipes? ski's? handlebars? etc....)

I have always liked my dragon. If you can get a good deal I would. However, figure in the cost of an extended warranty.... I think Highmark has a few 2010's left. I understand they have less engine failures

Great sled, although I prefer the 155" track. I would plan on getting a Power Commander 5 for it.

Go to the Polaris IQ section and there is a ton of information in there.

Haters will come on and talk about the sleds top end problems but many many people have rode these sleds with no issues. I am one of those people, we have had 4 in my family with no issues on any of them.

get a fuel controller for it.. you NEED one, unless you like to nuke it.

my roomate has an 09 and its a blast, i love hopping on it, the thing is nimble and gets around VERY will in the deep snow. but it puked a set of pistons with nothing but a can on it after 1200 miles.
