That said theres no reason they couldnt have dropped the 570 fan, and put a 600 liquid in there, preferebly last years model engine, which is bullet proof. And dropped the 500 altogether because theres 10000 sitting in crates for those who want them in 09 models, most went for the 1100 because of 4 stroke reliability. (old people who dont want to add oil to the resevoir need a 4 stroke) |

Agreed on all of that. I personally prefer a 2-stroke because I like the power and the ease of working on them. If you're looking for a good mountain sled, the new M series from AC is pretty freakin' sweet as well!

Im still in fear of the idea of no two stroke sleds. I tried a few four strokes, my uncle owned an rx1, i demo'd the z1 turbo and the 1100 bearcat, and i tried the Yamaha Nytro. none of them impressed me. Even the z1 turbo, while lightning fast, doesnt have that neck snapping, arm pulling power that my f800 does. It has 177hp to my 150, but when I nail my throttle, the WHOLE 150hp is right there. Not so with the 4 strokes. And when its back on the snow this winter, it should be in the 175hp mark anyway, and about 50 pounds lighter than stock. Which is about 150lbs lighter than the 4 stroke 1100, in the exact same chassis. But if you want to race across a 2 mile lake, that z1 turbo is INSANE! |

![]() I have a shit-ton of fun in the winter. I used to just sit around and wish for summer but since I got a sled a few years back I've learned to enjoy the winter for what it is: a HUGE freakin' play-ground that doesn't hurt as much when you fall ![]()
