If you spend more than 15 mins on a new Polaris and a new Doo, you will quickly realize that the seat on the Doo is too soft and squishy if you are an aggressive/active rider.     My 26 MXZ seat is like a pillow that sucks you into it whereas the Polaris allows you to sit on the seat more like a dirt bike.      I loved the LYNX seat for this reason.   If you just plop down on the seat and rarely move then you will probably like a Doo seat.     

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
