What’s the price gap between the almighty Cat and 900TR w/o the $2,000.00 upgrade?
If you want power that’s much cheaper, buy the cat hands down.

Been thinking about it. Gonna talk to Ledger for some details but I know he likes them.
One of the Sledaddicz guys had Ledger put the kit on his new 900R. They did an install video and he did a riding review from Gaspe.
I don't need one but.......lol
I bought mine from Chris, rather buy from Canadian reseller.
plenty of folks buying them.Mike Guliz is another guy/ YouTuber that had Chris install one.
you are right, don’t need it, but what a difference it makes, totally changes the sleds attitude. -
About 1400usd.

I installed this kit on my 900TR and finally got a chance to try it out.
so far, very good and very happy with it, with no issues and anyone looking to add some more jam and much better throttle response, this is a great kit, awesome performance gains and I think for a reasonable price.-

Only seen 6 sleds on the trail today but it was a short day we were at the room at 3 but by the look of this parking lot things are about to get busy . Probably seen 20 trailers pulling in the last hour
Yea, each day so far it’s gotten busier on our route.

Kanawata to clova, around 255.
83 to parent was good.
83 closer to clova had some thin sections, especially the area that had forest fires this past summer from I assume combination of logging now going on and lack of wind protection with so many trees burnt up….quite a bit of damage caused by the fires.
A few pictures, beauty day with the bright sun and cold.

Trailers are pilling in at the Forestel
Likely saw the most sleds so far today.
not busy on the trails though.
it’s odd, stop for food, see more sleds, but on the trails, much fewer.
quebec’ersontarian’s
american’s
edit: talking to some Americans today and they said why is it the last few years there are so many more Ontario folks riding in QC than years past.

I ride an 850 and all of my buddies run 900Rs. My 850 used slightly less fuel than the 900Rs on our last trip to Quebec.
2024 or older 900TR?
I ask because the 2024 in our group is a couple litres more per fill up.

Are the 900t better on fuel when running hard
My 900TR is getting around 15 lites per 100 km….hand calculated, but the display is pretty close to that too.

We ran Amos to Matagami and back yesterday. I was about 10km out from gas when the sled started coughing. Dumped in some of the linqs gas. Took 35litrs to fill in matagami. Minty the whole way up! No restaurant open on sundays in matagami. Food stuff at gas station we heated up later at warm up shack. Came back down same way. Dumped all gas in at lower warm up shelter. Still took 35 litres in amos. Fast running and chewing fuel with 2 900T's. All trails in great shape. Dinner at st.huberts. The river crossing is fine in amos but still shows closed. Heading back to Temis today and will update tonight. One of the riders on the abitibi map cover sure looks very familiar lol!
How’s your 6 keeping up with the 900 on the big trails?
I’m loving my 900 on the trails we are running….other than the wooped sections…lol
the McX kit is great improvement.-

No pictures, but ran from chiboug to lac st Jean, only trails that were real thin were the ones about 50 km outside of LSJ, this area needs some snow!
usually no issues running down the sidewalk full of snow to get gas, this year, it’s bare.
parking lot at hotel is bare also.
Rest of trail was great.Around 290km.
Hoping as we head south west tomorrow, they have more snow.

Rode out of Bird Creek, up to Whitney for lunch, back through Lake St Peter. Decent base with 6"+ of fresh on top.
Good for a ride. Passed the groomer on B106E near Maynooth on the way back to the truck.
I see the cat again as sled of choice - hard to give the old girl up for the newer doo!
a couple of familiar folks too, doodette and nutter.

Anyone leaving from Temiscaming heading north in the next couple days,I would appreciate a trail report,I see they groomed last night..cant imagine,but anything is possible..I see its snowing good in Vald'or next couple days..
Saw groomer I’m timiscaming earlier today.
roads were real slick heading north east from there, few vehicles in ditch or flipped.

Those are wear items anyways. As long as you don't rip studs out of track I say it's not too bad.
I do not agree with many of your thoughts, but this one, I do!
to each their own though, I get how some will have a hard time swallowing the pill of trails less than ideal, while others consider it the cost of sledding.

The Upnorth Technologies brackets are really well made. Great option as well for the short tracks to get an extra linq spot. Now if we could just get a linq stackable oil caddy.
I was checking out their offerings a few weeks ago, they do offer some good stuff.
I imagine with the new cats and the system they now have, they’ll sell lots of kits that covert cat to LinQ. -

Headed there Sunday. Not looking good however. Spoke to a restaurant and a sled dealer close by and less than ideal.
Been watcing the conditions there, mild today with a bit of rain, not as bad as here, starts to dip into negatives tomorrow evening and continues that trend the rest of the week, which is good, but not much new snow.......going with the mindset not all snow that falls is forecasted......

The 600's didn't have motor issues like the 900's. They were decent. There were still quality issues with all the Fusions.
Every time you had your Fusion in to the dealer and they did a recall repair, the dealer would add a sticker to the airbox so others would know what had been done. My 900 had 13 stickers after 2 years......😁
I believe I took it back to the dealer 7-8 times during those 2 years and I had to tow it off the trail twice. The dealers weren't a lot of help because these things were all over their service bays with very few answers from Polaris. Mechanics taking apart sleds they'd never seen before.
One of the recalls was to put a zip tie on the main wiring harness connector because in one of the previous recalls the mechanics had to disconnect and reconnect that plug but the problem was the little keeper latch that held the 2 halves together would break and then the plugs would come apart later. That was how I ended up with a sled that shut off and would not restart on the Sequin. I got towed into Sprucedale on a strap. A local with a trailer took my sled and myself back to Oxtongue Lake where I was staying and helped me load it on my trailer.
Its funny now but it was not so much then.😁
The winter of 04/05 I was almost going to buy a 900 Fusion from Edge up the road.....ended up with an F7 from Dryland instead, later was I ever happy I went with the Cat, sled was flawless and fun.

Gopher Dunes open this weekend too.
That looks like a cool place - nice to see some still exist!
Is that the home track for your boy, any other places you frequent.
McXpress 210 Kit

Mine with and without the kit will get to 100mph fast, but as blackstar said, the doo doesn’t have the legs like the cat beyond that.
With the kit though, the 0 to 100 jam is a huge improvement.
I haven’t really tried any top speed runs, honestly though, that doesn’t interest me much, I much prefer the bottom end pull/thrill.
