Cat had a 1000 twin from 2007 - 2011 (if memory serves). They claimed 165 hp and 120 ftlbs of torque and were also touted as a "mach eater" in some publications. My 2007 F1000 was not.AC 900 Suzuki twins were bullet proof. The 1000 was a TCat triple 2S 1998-2002.

The 900 twin Zukes were the smokers, and the 1100(1050) was the 4s. The 4s twins are the ones you guys are thinking of that sounded like a tractor. You guys are getting them mixed up.
And the 4s 500 Phazer woulda sounded like a tractor too if it had more displacement. Big bore parallel twin 4s engines have a weird sound.

The Phazer doesn't sound like the other parallel twins because of it's unique firing order, 180° - 540° - 180° - 540° rather than every 360° like the others.

I rode the lynx and mach z last weekend on a beat up trail and i will take my winder suspension with the kashima Qs3's any day over either!!you are talking this up WAY to much!!
Don't get me wrong, I would take my Sidewinder anyday vs the Lynx. It was just fun to try other new sleds and compare. I love my Sidewinder and won't be giving that baby up!

Yep my buddy thought his Ski Doo was fast toDon't let the Skidoo fool you. They feel slow. I don't know if it's the riding position, lack of noise or throttle but they just don't feel fast. I spent a lot of money on mine and it was pretty quick on a GPS but it didn't feel fast. My buddy and I would swap back and forth from his winder to my skidoo and his felt way faster. When we raced they were side by side. I hope the new throttle solves some of that feeling for those spending the boat load of cash on one.

That is still every 360.... 180 + 360 = 540 and (540 + 360) mod 720 = 180 So what you wrote mathematically is the same as 0-360-0-360

This is the Phazer crank. It also has 12,200rpm rev limit and is normally clutched to 11,600-11,800rpm.

Yup the Suzuki Twin IS a tractor motor but a fast one with a Turbo! Think of what a 1000 Phazer Turbo motor would be like. Heck even without a Turbo.Picture worth a thousand words!

Ok, so it fires at 0 and 180. Makes sense

It fires, half turn of the crank (180) it fires again. Then one and a half turns (540) it fires, then half turn.... you got the idea.
