ok guys its come down to this...... spend my money on extras for the jag (mountain bars, ski conversion kit, and new track) or save of for a new F6

the catch is that i would have to sell jag and posibly not ride fora season

so any suggestions would be greatly apreciated

Is there a third option like buying a late 90's or early 2000's sled? I bought my 97 ZRT and 00 ZR for a combined 2 grand. Both needed a little work but mostly cosmetic. Just a thought. If not, I'd go for the new F6.

i was thinking about a 2000 powder special but too hard to find also i like ZL 600's

Ride what you got and keep an eye out for something.

Depends how much you love the jag!

Do you absolutely need the add-ons for the jag, or can you just save your money all around and maybe buy a sled near the middle or end of the season, and try and sell yours.
If your thinking of buying something new for you, i wouldn't spend the money on upgrades, unless your sure you'll get your money back.

It all comes down to how much you want a different sled vs how much you love to ride what you have!

well i got jag for free too slow terible gas milage and hard on my back. plus almost 7k miles

What year jag? I would go for the 00 mountain cat, but it depends on where you ride? The ZL would be wider but shorter! If you could find an 02 ZR 600 EFI it would be close to the F6 and better in the deep and steep!

the jag is an 89 and dont M cats over heat if trail ridden?

**smallengineguy** · 07-24-2008, 08:17 PM

Sell the Jag and get something with updated suspension, etc.

jag340 Boy · 07-24-2008, 09:14 PM

any suggestions????

**smallengineguy** · 07-25-2008, 05:57 AM

Anything from 96 to 2000 is much better than what you have, and relatively cheap now too.

jag340 Boy · 07-25-2008, 06:24 AM

k i was thinking about a powder special but i dont know much about them any opinions or feels about them?

Juice · 07-25-2008, 07:53 AM

A late 90's or early 00 EFI ZR in the 600 range would be my choice. They can be had cheap as SEG mentioned. They ride nice and have plenty of power. Nice and light too.
