Did it come with a goggle bag? Can't wait to see the dry weight thanks!

Something tells me CO is not going to drain out the coolant, oil and whatever gas is currently in the sled to get a dry wet. If I remember right in the past when he weighed his 16 and Axis both where full of all fluids. Regardless however he weighed those two sled hope he does the same with this one. Give a great comparison of all three sled on the same scale!!!

RTR weigh is the way to go with knowing the fuel capacity so you can do the math with the fuel weight.

Dealer here in Utah got sleds this week as well. Not sure I'm ready to pick up yet. There is still ridable snow here, so should be awesome if I do. Get the break in miles done this summer

I was planning to try softer secondary springs with the 43 helix in my 16 also...too stiff makes the sled zingy and limits topend shift...going to try stock spring with mds need snow........

43 helix

I have 650miles on my 18' EB MC, i currently run at 2-3k ft with stock 120/235 primary spring, 78gr light tipped weight, and 43 helix,
My friend have a 18' EB SP with all stock clutching for testing. My current setup pull harder on hill and deep snow

I doing some test with secondary spring.
Stock sec spring are too stiff on initial part(180lbs) and too soft on last part (240lbs), lack of backshift after 50mph. same thing on stock clutching.
I tried 180/270 sec spring and it's stall the upshift.
the best spring that i found is 140/230, straight backshift and upshift, react perfect with amazing 800ctec throttle reponse. I tried to add a shim for stiffer it, it's didnt work great but maybe that can work at higher elevation... testing, testing and testing are the only way for know.
