Got it - that helps. As you know, I ride old tech - and it's just what "i know".  

yup.

Thanks, Im at around 7200kms for the season plus 900kms or so on the GT 600 ace doing trail work, firewood and grooming. I've been sledding since dec 7.   I'm still game for another kick at the can if the mrs wants to go again this weekend but i've had my fill now and im looking forward to the ice melting and getting the misty river out and just putting around the lake with the honda 50 outboard. Much cheaper lol. 

I don’t think it needs any clutching work. It pulls like a bear up to 180

thanks, good to hear, I ordered a 2027 VR1 9R with Dynamix, had a chance to try one out and tons of bottom end power for sure, I will do some clutching to it and wake up the top end a bit once I get it. Should be a wicked trail sled for next year,
