So what gives the 2012 etec 800's have a max rpm of 7900 compared to the 2011 8000 rpm, so I wonder what the reason for that is, and if the HP is going to be the same as the 2011. And it does look like the sleds came with a 40deg cam I couldn't see the secondary spring color, and what a goofy looking clutch guard.

Sec spring should be a blue/blue..157/221...much softer than the pur/pur from past years. Primary should be the same as '11. Gearing is lower, softer (391) belt.
I notice the L/H toe hold thingy is plastic.
Hope to get our new sleds this week! Caper, did you get a '12?
