i was a 15 year cat guy myself. i put almost 2,000 hard aggresive miles on my pro last year with the original belt. great sled right out of the box. clutching, at least for me, was dead on. i'm 200 pounds and played quite a bit with the suspension but ended up just a little tighter than how it came.
i think you'll find your gonna want to be a little farther forward on the boards than on your cat. on my mc i would stand farther back to keep the front up out of the pow, no need for this on the pro! will feel tall and tippy at first compared to what you're used to but you'll soon learn that you won't need to yard on the thing to get it to roll, just a little yank and your over. you'll have to get used to not having to jump from side to side, you'll be amazed how you'll be going through things without having to move from side to side. i know on my mc when constantly changing directions i'd feel like i was behind the sled, more like i was chasing the sled than telling it what to do. the pro listens more to what you want, not what it wants
won't give you that pull your arms off feeling, but will do things the mc couldn't do with twice the power. i'm constantly hitting things that i know it won't make and boom, its over the top and ready for more!!! when taking off the thing jumps right up on top of the pow, you won't have to feather the throttle to keep from trenching.
i absolutely love mine, can't wait for the pow to get to ride it again. think you'll have more fun this season than any other and have twice the energy at the end of the day
