Now just wait for all the riders to complain about a nasty rear end swap.....

I don't think I could complain about that. You can always get more rear traction, its the front thats the issue.

One would think the XF would weigh more then the F but factory weights are for sales purposes....

XF uses the M style rear skid with a float shock, maybe some weight offset there??

Maxsled was the only one that worte they didn't care for the way the Fusion 900 ran, shook or handled. Their article was the most critical review of a sled I'd ever read. The most important thing is they were 100% right. Snotech does a good job, but they kind of gloss things over. Supertrax used to be critical but seems like for the past view years, they just hype up whatever is new. They seem very biased to Polaris as well.

Diamond drives weren't that bad...tons of guys out there have had zero issues...My 06 F7 had one...still working perfect. It's like anything..maintain it and no problems.

AC's are not supposed to last that long

I put over 8,000 miles on an '04 Firecat 700 in 2 seasons and lost 1 idler wheel. That's it. Far less issues than my '06 Attak. I like my Attak, but I will be going back to Cat.
