I am going 850, not Marc :)

I know, I bought it from a suspension shop though.....so I thought I was doing the right thing. It's ok, I'm trading the sled in after this season I just wanted to confirm so I could advertise the shock properly.

Son of a............ Thanks, at least now I can try and sell it for proper application.

I'm curious what that difference is? Meaning, what are the parts and what could it do?

Hi, I had bought a Elka Stage 5 from a suspension shop, used but rebuilt, intended for a 129". I have a 129" as well. When I went to install it I noticed it was ~10mm longer than my stock shock (14.5" eye to eye) .... I asked the shop and they said it came from a 129" so I installed it. Rode...

You may be surprised to know there are other sleds out there lol I like new stuff, sadly none of the new Yam's appeal to me and I want to try something lighter and more playful. The Winder has been really good especially after adding the PB80 and all the other mods I did. Still, 90% sure I...

I've had my PB-80 on this whole season, 5100km/3160miles so far and love it as well. No hard data like the OP but for trail riding on 290hp tune and 260hp tune its been so nice. Super quiet, engages very smooth, can take some hard corner to corner abuse and keeps on ticking. I use the XS825...

SE front shocks as mentioned are really good. I added Elka Dual springs on mine and now is even better! Rear skid shocks IMHO need to be upgraded on the SE, QS3 at minimum.

On the C&A's? My riding buddy has them on his Cat and while great on snow they are so annoying when trying to load in the trailer or in the garage etc. But small price to pay I guess.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could pick your color and then your shock and option packages? Brutal when you "customize" one there's no options.

I have the C&A XPT's with 9"shaper and its not the easiest to steer even with a properly adjusted suspension. Will have to look at SlimJims I don't remember seeing that option.

Zero issues with that!

OMG, when you go to "Build your Own" the only customization you can do is pay between 1-3k CDN for 12 to 36 months of extra warranty and add Loyalty program for a 0.5% reduction in rate.

When you see companies like Ski-Doo and Polaris come out with some pretty cool stuff (Even if you aren't a fan of their brand you have to admit they are pushing things big time) and then you see Yam/Cat with same ole same ole....brutal.

All of these recent comments are why I didn't do it lol yet some claim it's better. If I changed to a 1.5" track would it be better with the 24/50? (I went from 21/41 to 22/41 that's what I ran this season, still pulls really hard, unsure on top speed I hit 190km/h or 118mph on speedo once in...
