Haven't checked my mileage on my summit (sketchy relay - I keep losing my electrics) and I have about a 70 mile loop to make in a couple of weeks. It will be almost all trails. Will I have enough gas or should I try to pack a couple of gallons on the sled?

I'd probably pack a few gallons. You might make it, but its probably too close to call!
You should make it but if it is easy to do you might as well strap on a few gallons and pour it in after an hour or so.
I'd bring an extra 2 gallons. I ride a 600ho zx and did 70 miles yesterday. I took along 2 gals. and needed it, got back to the truck with a quarter tank. I rode hard and didn't have to worry about gas.
I would like to think that a 700 on broken trails should easy enough make it. The '02 800 only got 7mpg on trail as stock, but I got it up to 10mpg finally. The 700's should be better AFAIK. Still, a 2-1/2 gal can fits just fine back there!
Thanks guys, I'll pack 2 gallons and I have 2 to 3 gallons at a shed at about the 50 mile mark. Should be enough for both my sleds. I appreciate the reassurance.
