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, 

I have a 2025 XCR 9R and I must say I absolutely love the machine. I bought it in February of 2025 and since have put 12,951 kms on it without a single issue. The fuel mileage is within a litre or two of my buddies 2022 VR1 850 and the oil difference is immeasurable between the two. This fall I plan on going through the engine and at least putting pistons in it and all the suspension bearings. Awesome sled. 

It sounds selfish but I hope that the OFSC lets the clubs give their trails once last pass today or tomorrow and pulls the pin on grooming for the rest of the season to save some money.    I can all but guarantee that the travelling sledders are done after today and in a few months we will hear about how big of a deficit the OFSC ran this season.
