Ya and that is about the only sore spot with me. I love engine braking! Its the people scared of four strokes that use engine braking as an excuse to knock it! So Yami caved and has taken out the one thing that makes the four stroke a pleasure to ride.
Now if there was only some way to get it back. Over ride the throttle somehow. Darn!

Great we all agree the 06 GT is still the best looking I know I like mine LOL
Of course the 11 is the best handling with EPS and more agressive ski set up and no more (even) less work to steer!
Charley, Mark here - good to meet you up in Manitoba in february. I like the compression breaking to a point but can live either way. I quess to ride hard I never have gotten used to hanging my but off the sled and in the corner if I let off to much nearly getting thrown off forward. I know learn the touch ..... I am trying.
Great to read nearly universal praise of the EPS, handling and of course more power. Like we need more power, LOL, come on I know most of you began on sleds with <25 HP, heck I thought I died and went to heaven when I got my 440 elTigre with '59' HP in 74.
Well I tell my wife I may not need more HP but I sure want it.
