Springs hold the sled up. Shocks keep it from acting like a pogo stick. Yes, the gas charge in the shock provides some lift but not much.

I too have both. However, I still prefer the Alpha handling. The G5 is growing on me though. An XM riding buddy has had to borrow the Alpha the last few rides. He took to it right off.

When your skis are dangling 3' above the snow and only 1/3 of the track is grabbing, climbing performance suffers. The adjustable limiter helps some as well as a rear lockout.

Maintenance has nothing to do with the failures on the 2018 and newer Team clutches. On that 2020 he better be keeping an eye on the outer face near the middle. The cracks start there. The covers crack too by the bolt heads.

As good as it is in there that trail is one effective deterant. It was one and done for me.

I did the Enzo valving and spring upgrade to mine. I've never had a sled feel this good in the bumps. l didn't ride it first stock though and have no seat time on another G5 so not sure how much it improved.

Cutlers turbo kits came with a toggle switch that was wired to fool the ecu into thinking the engine was cold so it would give extra fuel for hot starts. Sled doesn't start? Flip switch and try again. Once engine starts flip switch back. I knew a guy with a scabby Cutler setup on a 12. Even...

Is the sled completely stock?

Cats have been breaking clutches for decades. More spectacularly with the Team.

Mine has always liked a little throttle when hot starting. I do it subconsciously now after almost 9000km. Second pull every time.

Fair point. They haven't been progressing fast enough.

Like a secondary clutch that has a power robbing fan cast into it and a heavy duct system to direct cold air to said clutch because they run boiling hot.

Back into? The 800 Alpha outperforms the other 850 NA sleds in many ways. They need to get the clutch and rail durability to be non issues on this lighter, more powerful Catalyst. Then worry about a turbo.

That was a very effective fix.

Years ago I spent three weeks in Cali, Colombia for work. There wasn't a lot of free time but one evening l decided to take a stroll. A young guy got all up in my face saying l don't know what. I didn't go out unescorted again.

If l read the fine print correctly, maximum auction fee of $500 on vehicles.

Regal auction had a 23 Boost Kaos Slash go through a few weeks ago. 700km, 7S gauge, new both spare belts. A bit dirty but good shape. Warranty expired. Sold for $12k. Was a repo.

Ideally none. Sloppy ones break the bolt head off.

36mm is probably the piston diameter.

That's a cheap buy-in price. If you are handy and can get a year out of them without spending much you're doing ok.
