Well yesterday, out of the blue, a guy stopped and "bought" my 06 600 H.O. He is coming back Sat to pick it up and bring me the money.
I've taken him at his word, (guess that was all the excuse I needed) we jumped in the truck and I picked up the 08 600 CFI LX. It is not "Brandy new" had 390 miles on it
Filled it up on the way home and we went riding. Put 56.7 miles on and it took 3.622 gals of gas. That equals 15.65 MPG. This is a 31% improvement over the 06 600 H.O. Fusion carbed which I consistantly was getting 11.5 to 11.9 from. (400 mains everything else stock)
It was about 38 degrees F, ( engine temp was warm ranging from 165 to 170 degrees F)Trails ranged from soft pak to slush to bare in spots but all & all not bad riding. In the first 17 miles of trail riding my max rpm reading was 8150 and max trail speed was 68 MPH.
My lake run on soft pack showed 8150 max and 91 MPH twice. This was easying off the line and gradually building speed to elimate hi rev or track speed, then ran about 1/2 mile.
The M-10 was set soft so my 300 plus lbs bottomed out a few times. We adjusted the rear shock angle and now it might be just a touch stiff.
Put on 93 miles for the day and I was really pleased at how well this sled railed the corners and and the curves. No front end push. Came with the Polaris twin runner carbides.
Every improvement I was looking for over the 06 was foefilled.
Biggest dissappointment, I didn't realize how much the color and graphics ressembled the 05 RX1 behind me, Oh well.
