I mentioned this before, and see Grover mentioned it in the 2027 Skidoo thread.   My son's carbed 550 Sport is using 7-9 litres more fuel than my F800 on a consistent basis. Same distances, same trails - same riding style.   Bottom line, it's a pig.   But, it's super light and works well - great sled for him to be learning on and getting more and more comfortable handling through all the terrain.   We rode some amazing trails this weekend and some as bad as they'd ever be - him and the sled took it all very very well.    

Any info on the logging on 83 and 307 from just south of malartic towards amos? How bad is it? Best to go around toward valdor? Leaving thursday temis to amos, return friday.  Did u get the linq bag back?

Rode through Port Loring up to Restoule on Friday and the trails were mint. Both Port Loring & Restoule had their poker runs on Saturday so they had the trails in great shape. I'm sure they'll have them groomed back up this week!

Its extremely smooth & clutch engagement is as good or better than the 850. We were doing some slower trail riding with a large group & you could ride it like that all day. Strip all the decals off the sled and let someone ride it they wouldn't know it was a 900 until they pushed the throttle to the bar!

Yamaha does not have a patent on EPS.     I won’t be surprised to see BRP put it on the 900 turbos so they can run a more aggressive ski.
