lol oh i ride it i wish it had an hour gauge. i spend most of my time on it riding tight one lane 4 wheeler / dirtbike trails so im only doing 30 to 40 mph. most of the trails are whooped out with hard 90 deg plus turns when i take someone riding they cant believe that the sled isnt hasnt broken in half. to me this is what the phazer was made for and it shines doing it i have yet to find someone that will keep up with me in this kind of riding.

i put 4200 miles on my 07 and my 09 has 1200 on it now - going to put around 700 on it next week - i had very little problems with both sleds - guys that are breaking the phazers would have problems on any sled - every other make is less durable than a yamaha - my son was on arcitc cat prior and all i did was fix broken parts on that sled every week - he is on yamaha now, and i have quite a bit of free time - if you go out and try to break it, abuse it or don't maintain it and expect it to be perfect you have unrealistic expectations - you can break an m1 abrams if you try hard enough.

I have broken almost any manufacturers sleds. Even the full race production ones. the Phazer is no worse or better in that regard

yamahas are durable but i think out of all their sleds the phazer is the least durable
i have 9000 miles on mine,nothing major has happened,only the normal stuff,sliders,carbides,all recalls are done,i never put a drop of oil in between oil changes in that motor

That groomed trail looks nice and smooth, lol.
if youre reffering to my avatar,yep,that trail is 1 of my favourite in all ontario,long wide stretches with few long curves you can take at a good pace,its just like youre riding in a tunnel with the long straight trees,just awesome,plus its close to home so i can ride it everyday

i put 700 miles a month on last season never had a problem. i think that most of the people that are having issues with this sled are abusing it past what any other sled will handle any arctic cat ive ever had cant keep up as far as reliability goes. ive got around 2300 miles on my 09 and havent had any major problems, a few updates but none of the problems like ive heard on hear and i ride this sled HARD.
soul hammer if you cant find anyone in minnesota to keep up with you on the twisties come to the UP, hit the power lines and youll see what your phazer can really do

But only at 50kph as per OFSC rules, right?
Just kidding. I wish our trails were maintained that way.
aint that a joke,50 kph,i know its all about safety and if they raise it to 70 or 80,people will ride at 120,that's how they see it,personnally,we ride 90 to 95 most of the time,otherwise we'd get nowhere in a day
