So, I´ve been thinking real hard about getting a newer ride. Always liked the 4-cylinder 4-strokes...
Friend of mine and I talked a while back about his 07 Warrior GT, and that he felt it was bit too much for him (weight and power wise). So, I joked about buying it from him. To my surprize, he called me a week ago and said that if I wanted that sled, we could talk about making a deal. Here is the result then :
I bought it.
Rode 130 km´s on it today. FEELS pretty good.
Some things that I noticed compared to my old Vmax-4:
-Handwarmers suck. Vmax-4 has top notch warmers, and this thing is COLD. And the Warrior GT has no cover angainst wind. Again, Vmax-4 is better here.
-Suspension needs tweaking and tuning for my size and riding style on the 4-stroke. No comparison there, much better than the old V4 (dough!).
-Way too much ski pressure for my liking. It´s harder to turn than my V4.
-And the track must be changed. Stock ripsaw just don´t cut it. I´ll probably go for a 144 track with 1,5 inch paddles on the 4-stroke.
It has a skid plate, wide ski skins and a tow hitch allready. I´ll probably install a engine preheater to it later.
My Vmax-4 will be ridden only on sunny spring sundays.. I´ll never sell it. Too much warm feelings towards it I guess.

Glad to hear you got a 4-stroke.
Regarding the heavy steering, something isn't right as the stock settings should make steering very easy. Maybe he adjusted the limiter strap from the stock setting?
For the handwarmers, either get Rock's kit or put on a set of gauntlets.

I have pair of gauntlets...
And I´ll see about those skid settings too. Have to read trough the owners manual first though.
OT Swiss sledder, where do you go for a ride? I know there is sometimes snow at UK, but still?

Those are 10 inch wide ski skins, with a tall tip. Helps alot when goin over faller trees in the deep snow etc. A finnish company makes them.
