- Finally got the chance to ride the new 4 stroke turbo, after some tuning of the front shocks, down from 125 psi to 60 it made a world of difference... almost as easy as the 800 proclimb to chuck around.. except for the weight difference which is noticable, but not a huge down fall quite a bit lighter and easyier to toss around than my apex...more power too..

what made me smile
- power of course...smooth un ending..
- new seat is awesome. comfortable, trail and standing boon docking just around comfort. easy to through the leg over..
- handle bars are surprisingly comfortable for me im gonna add 1" riser
- guages are well placed - easy to read...
- handwarmers are awesome...almost impossible to leave on high... - i did put the hand guards on though..
what i want to add...
- bigger bug deflector- its to small for me as a windshield.... imo its sporty and all but the rides up the trail at -25 or -28 will be bone chillers..
- hand guards and knee pads creature comfort for my old bones...
- big rear bag for the belt and essential gear...
- sport bumper on all proclimbs is a must imo...
- need a deflector for the ignition (or bigger windshield) as it ices over... nothing methal hydrate wont fix..
little deflectors on the tunnel at the rear.... i know there suppose to stop the snow but they also hold it in, i will try it with out them on the next ride...to see the diff

throwing the exhaust can on to loose a few pounds and i did throw the simmons gen 1 cause i like them so much, have the stockers on the proclimb eight and there good too...

fuel economy.... well good i guess. cant say i was babying the throttle either so i didnt expect miracles...

thats my un biased customer/rider thoughts....

I anticpate a ride in the future with the speed werx upgrade that is going on some sleds, can t say as i would be able to
comment on what the power would be like, but i will say this...you dam well better have kung fu grip..... that thing pulls hard..
