I'm going to be picking up this sled in a little bit. I am wondering what kind of fuel milage can i get MPG? Whats the Hp in it? Also the dry weight And the pros and cons about it. It has about 3200 km on it with mechanical reverse. In the CK3 chassis.
Thanks in advance

Dealer told me the HP is around 134. The 800 is like 10 more HP.
Not much difference in a race between the 700 & the 800 untill top end.
800's are about 5 mph faster on ave..
Dry weight = 552lbs and it's all up front compared to the ZX chassis!
You get tired guicker after awhile through the twisties and forget about
ditch bangin. Spring set up(stock) can't get stiff enough nor will you feel
safe enough or in control to through it around. You can do sum but no
X-Game stuff.IMO Good points about the sup. are when you go with a
group of people who don't drive too fast it has a smooth ride with a
really soft seat. :div20:
MPG = ave is 9 / 10 Always takes 1 or 2 dollars more than my 600 mxz
driving the same speed. Only gets better mpg if my girlfriend drives it
and I'm on my mxz. :frech32:
Pros and cons?
Well this sled doesn't stop very well so you'll need STUDS!!! (Or bring along
sum clean undies!!!) I can't tell you the amount of times I flew off the trail
because this pig can't stop like the rest of the sleds out there. Keep everything
in top shape and lubed up!!! Clean clutches for minimal backlash.(when the
clutch doesn't let go of the belt for quick pulsing of the brakes)
I got like about 6700miles on my sled with the original motor. Still runs good
and the 99 you are looking at has better electronics in it not like my 98.
Cold starting can be a problem but that's not the end of the world. I figured it
out after the second year I had it. I'll tell you that if you buy the sled for that
would take awhile to explain.
Great throttle response!!! AT ALL SPEEDS!!! Top end on my speedo can be from
105mph to 113mph!! Not bad, stock sled too. Will not beat a.....(...gulp...) f7 or
a srx700 unless you tune on it.(IMO with my sled ) I was told sleds with rev. are
geared down 1 tooth so the top end on my sled could be slower than ones without.
I'd rather be geared 1 tooth down and put a clutch kit in it anyways if thats
what you want to do is race.IMO
To sum it up you can get these sleds pretty cheep for a good time riding!!!
If you want to ditch bang or drive reclessly through the trails with your buddies?
Get somthing else. Trying to keep up can be frustrating after awhile unless
your a stronger guy. If you drive in a place that doesn't have alot of twisties,
then it isn't too bad. But, the trails better be pretty smooth too. :div20:

One of my ride buddies has a 99 Mach 1 for sale if your intersted. It only has about 2500 miles on it and it is mint shape. I know because i maintain it for him regularly. I t does not have reverse, and it is 100% stock. It runs like you just took it off the dealership floor though and ran pretty good against my 01 MXZ 800 X, when I had it. He jst didn't get a chance to ride that much on it and now he is looking for a newer Rev for himself. If your interested...I'll take afewe pics of it and post them for you. NOt sure what he wants for it seems like he said somewhere around $3000.00 usd but don't quote me on that. It is a very nice sled though and I know for a factr it runs very well. We jst did the Superior Snow Challenge loop with it last season and it never missed a beat. :beerchug:
