Post a pic or two when you pick it up. That is a sweet sled...just a little too much track for the NY trails.

with tipped up rails and the 1.32 Cobra track, it runs more like a 136 on trails yet still is a 144 for boonin. I have heard from a few 11 SBA owners that its actually a pretty decent trail sled. No 121 in the twistys but pretty dam respectable for a LT sled and just flat out amazing off trail. I loved my 800 gade but wanted something a little more suited to free riding.

the 1000 was a great motor if you did what was suposed to be done. if you ran the right fuel, add a touch of oil to the fuel, put the right fuel pumps in it, add the right ground wires, pre filters to keep belt dust out and stuff the motors where very good. i know guys with 4000+ on stock motors

not the best if your not a good tinker type guy but strong runners with the right owner

...and tickle its belly pan, sprinke pixie dust on the seat and wave a magic wand over it before each ride
