Hello from Chicago
My name is Brendan and new to the comunity, i own two 93 wildcat 700 one is a efi the other is carb. just bought them a month ago and about to head up to eagle river for long weekend, "not long enough". i live in chicago so its not easy to hit the trails like some of you, but i frequently go kenosha area in lower wisconsin. my sled has some problems but whos dosent. IM aware that some of you own the same sled as i and im looking for some feedback on what i can expect out of my sled, the rear suspension is real stiff and ive read that it can be easly upgraded, but dont know how or what to look for. im proud of my sleds and want to keep them as long as possible. ive jsut went through $4000 for the sleds and trailer and repairs and am getting worried that it will continue, but it is was it is right?- "aint a poormans sport" please if anyone has any feedback on my sleds let me know?

yeah i was there 14-17 of feb, the locals said the trails hadn't been that good in years. fresh power everywhere and temps around 10. Klondike days was real cool i saw a 70 dude chop through a foot thick stump in 9 seconds. i had some troubles with my EFI other than that it was a perfect weekend.

I have been to Eagle river and up north WISC.
But after riding in upper lower MI, World of difference. Trails are not as busy, Not so many young daredevils.
I liked northern Michigan alot better than northern Wisc

Chicago here as well. Yes, I bought mine this year and have also dumped a fair amount of coin on them. But I also like to screw around with them.
