so how are you liking the new sled so far? everything you expected? any surprises or disapointments?

Looks good! We do not get any snow here until at least mid december and if we do, its a dusting which for us is less than half an inch.

 

[Tempest]

Nice early storm. We had a group of five that went out for a road ride Saturday evening. There was about two feet of fluff on the roads.

power is unreal... never got it past half throttle yesterday and even at half throttle it pulls twice as hard as my 900 w/ nitrous ever did wide open. i only ran the sled around 5lbs of boost , planning on keeping it low for the first 2-300 break in miles. my only complaint that i didnt really expect is that it isnt very trail friendly i dont have the box tuned in perfect yet but its hard to keep it out of boost and every time you hit boost the skis come off the ground and you cant turn. it will definately take some time to get used to. but hands down the most powerful and most fun sled i have ever rode
