OK, i'll try to release my knowledge into the Wilds of the TY Minds
--Yamadoo is a cheater so no hugs for him
--Winterwolf bought an 850 DOO
--The 2020 1/2 DOO i looked at was the Platinum version i would have bought over my 600 if the quarter landed on tails
--From what i've heard, DOO added to the already awesome rear skid, a weight transfer setting so you can ride in comfort without the front skis picking
--I also heard they tweaked the front end which is A LOT better cuz the old front end was, in my opinion, TERRIBLE
-- They also added an awesome new dash that wasn't available on the 2020 1/2
--sab2020 can't spell, but i may let him ride with us this year
I seriously considered a NEW sled in April, but i was furloughed 2 days a week that changed some plans.
Plus i wasn't in the mood to have to update ALL the quirks Cat & Yam refuse to fix. Most of the issues have been addressed on this sled including TAPP clutch, new top gear, relays etc.....
This years to do list:
1. LINQ brackets
2. Windshield
3. BOP Rear suspension beef up kit
4. BOP Hose covers
5. BOP Shaft McWedgy tool
Next year:
1. New driveshaft sprayed & turned with better bearing
2. Aftermarket top gear, chain & all drivetrain bearings
3. Rebuild shocks to my weight specs
P.S: I'll have to call Travis from Barn of Parts so he can plan a new vacation on my dime
If you were stranded on Gilligan's Island with 3 albums/CD's & a solar rechargeable boom box, what would your albums be?
1. Aerosmith-Rocks
2. Black Sabbath-Masters of Reality
3. AC/DC-Back in Black
And i would Bang Mary Ann while Ginger watches!

Wow wicked nice, you may have to put a few scratches on that beautiful beast just to really make it yours.
RTX does have a fun factor that the 137’s don’t. That added easy ski lift on those shorter track skids make that sled feel so different when compared to their 137” counterparts!
Did all the tunes come with it? If so, ya better hold on tight!

Biggest problem is it looks EXACTLY like my buds' so it will need a different Windshield & some LINQ bags
Just cleaner lol!
Ahhh don’t ruin it Steve with a different windshield..looks so bad a$$ with the low stock one it came with...can’t beat that look imo. But she’s yours now so I get it.

In reality, looks are second to me.
I put on too many miles in all conditions to deal with a "Speedometer Protector".
My bud Boston Steve refuses to put on a bigger windshield on his sleds.
He's ALWAYS cold & Bitchin'.
If it's 20 below..................i ride
If it's snowing hard...........i ride
If my bud LEM says we're doing 500 miles today, i pour extra J.R. Watkins Liniment Oil on my back & say "Let's GO!!!"
I just bought a house so i may only put on a windshield, Linq bags & BOP McWedgy tool.
If i have time, i may put on hose protectors, rear suspension beef up kit & rebuild rear shocks

I guess someone has to be, but you know what they say about assume!
That is the thing with these Winders. One never knows what kind of power lurks behind that hood! I’ve been asked that question many times in the past years since I’ve owned mine.

I would have to get some gauntlets and a taller windshield for anything under 0. I had a perfect windshield for cold weather but the looks killed me, so I trimmed it! I’m not as young as I use to be, with that said I do enjoy the warmer days and perfect trails! You go get em SteveO, I do remember being a younger, very enthused, speed loving snowmobiler. I still love speed!
