Questions about the 2012 Venture

[Sasquatch]

Looking at a 2012 RS Venture gt. Will it run on regular fuel like my 05 Warrior? I know the Apex with the Exup now requires Premium but I would rather run a sled I can burn regular in as premium is hard to find in most of the remote places I fill up. Not to mention the extra cost.

Seems like some people are wishing the suspension was less stiff. This may be perfect for me. I'm a heavy weight guy and prefer a stiff suspension that will carry my 300pd plus weight. On top of that when I ride double it has to handle that as well. How do Venture owners feel about the suspensions capabilitys for one up and two up riding?

Are the shocks rebuildable front and rear?

Last question is how does the Venture GT handle rougher trails. Does is pogo and wallow around like some touring sleds I have rode or does it stay stable and damper the rebound?

I know for a fact that the new venture motor is based on the FX Nytro engine and that powerplant burns 87 octane.

I would say the simple reason it is a two up sled it should handle the weight on the skid.

Probably wrong time of year to be asking these questions as most have given up long time ago on sledding this year and moved on to summer sports.
