i formally rode a yamaha phazer fx and i want something with more power and reliability.

give me any pros and cons of the 2005 fusion 900, crank and updats have been done, i can get it for 2500$ and its very clean.

Great sled for an experienced rider. A little heavy compared to a Phazer. Good luck!

Good price if there aren't too many miles.Completly differant ride and handling.Should be reliable if all updates and recalls are done.Very user friendly.You will probally have to put some money in it to make it better. thumbsup.png

it has a can, studs and some other shit.

how are these when extended to 136? iw ould want at least a 1.5 inch lug too.

it has 2200 miles and walker evans shocks, (which i lkike becuase they are stiff) a little better for my style of riding, i do a lot of off trail.

I have mine extended out to 136. I have two tracks. A 136x1.5 ripsaw and a 136x2 paddle track. both are excellent. If your gonna spend any money on it get a vent kit for the belly pan first. they love to eat belts. My 900 has been very reliable, only problem I have had is the bushing in the primary clutch siezed. They are a very fast sled if set up correctly. Good luck summer_sucks.gif

That was the sled that was so bad it almost put polaris out of business. It was so bad that they droped the name and now call that chaissis IQ, the front suspension has been changed every year. You can still find them brand new in the crate for $4000 or less.
If you want somthing more reliable than a phaser it is not the right sled for you.
Avoid it like a fat ugly chick with herpes

You're gonna have to be prepared to dump a good amount of money in it to make it how you'll want it to be.

I agree 100 percent.
The fusion was a nightmare, I say that because I had one.

^^^^^^
You liked your '05 better than your '06?
800 DRAGON
My 05 pulled hard and rocked ,I put over 4000 miles on it 2 belts awesome not much could touch it .
The 06 wasn't as strong had 0 belt issues but was it happy to use fuel ,no matter how I set it up.The 05
is still going strong the owner now has over 10,000 miles on it never wrenched ,the 06 not sure if it still going
when I traded the 06 it also was over 4000 miles .In our riding group there is a 05 900 with 12,000 mile clutches
have been redone ,track replaced stock but set up very well and he bust most other guy's balls ,they are a sled that needs
to be gone over on a regular basis ,if you keep things in check you have a good sled m2c.gif

The first thing you do is get a slp torque stop learn how to adjust it ,do clutch cleaning and align once aweek
get a slp air vent kit clutches run hot ,learn how to set up the ass end for your weight this takes sometime once
you hit that sweet spot you have your sled ! No 2 sleds are alike my 07 set-up was different than my 08 took
sometime to dial it in but once I got it ,it was awesome .

I'm going to give one a shot.............My friend has an 05 900 and after all the updates and a few mods, he calls it one of the best sleds that he has owned........so I picked up an 05 900 a couple of months back......I didn't pay very much at all for mine and it only has 800 miles on it..... so why not? It ain't like I'm going to be out a ton of money if it's a lemon, and I always got the spare sled for a back up.

You have most certainly taught us that set up is very vital with the IQ platform !!

LOL OK,"Savannah the Vixen", we get it.

The only time you leave your comfort zone of the General forum is to prop a crutch under 800 Dragon when he is making a fool of himself (again) in the Polaris forums.

Perhaps his mother has always fought his battles for him.
