What do you think will change on the four stroke versions of polaris sleds for 2009?

Most likley up the power to 175. And maybe put the machine on a small diet (15-20lbs)

I think they need to loose the big stock exhaust! you can't seem to check the chain case oil unless you remove the darn thing. Plus it's way to heavy! I added the MBRP exhaust Sure it's a little louder and when wearing a full face closed helmet it did have a drone type noise in my head but I stopped that but wrapping it in exhaust wrap and tunning it using a die grinder to cut the outlet pipe a little bit.

Now it's not that bad..but I works a hell of a lot better! Also put a K&N air filter in from a Polaris Ranger! Sounds really cool now.

Why can't they just spend the extra 10 bucks and put on graphite slides on all the sleds!! Also every machine should be sold with Mirrors! I modified a pair from an Edge to fit cos I didn't like the handle bar ones. Looks way better and meaner! Remember the Fusion or (CONFUSION as most call it now!) If looks like crap! it is!

I love the hood on the fst also! the extra vents just make the hood look way better and when riding in spring will add in cooling, not only the motor but the clutches also. grinning-smiley-023.gif

I was going to buy another FST for 09 but as soon as I seen the Red hood! I'm going to try and find 08 left over. I hate RED! It would be nice to see the colors from the XLT era back grinning-smiley-023.gif They had the pretties colors as the wife said grinning-smiley-023.gif

Just got the 09 catalog and I was suprised that they are offering only one sled with the FST engine. Also, there are no "trail" type sleds like the clasic only RMK's in different versions.......

Did I miss something?

That pretty much covers it i would think. No need for other variations. I still thought the touring was availabe with the FST

Yes, it is.

3 sleds with the MPE750 Turbo:

IQ Turbo Dragon
Turbo Switchback
FST IQ Touring

If you really want a single seat "cruiser" for '09, you can buy the Touring and put a solo seat on it. I think that Polaris will have this as an optional accessory for the sled, but I am not 100% positive about that.
