I'm currently researching sleds, looking for a new one for myself. From what I'v read, and heard from fellow riders, nothing comapres to the rev. Im going to buy used...looking in the year range 2004 - 2006. I'm not sure what model ill end up buying (i know im not buying the trail package). In terms of an engine size....i was looking at 600 800 and even the mach z 1000. Im 20 years old and have been riding since i was 6, so i have many years of expearance under my belt. Its been hard to find a good, technical review of these sleds. I was just wondering if anyone has any good or bad things to say (engine, clutch problems ect...). Just want to make sure I buy a reliable rev with minimal maintenace costs.

Thanks for the help

Well it sounds like your set on a rev, most people love them. But they have a different feel from anything else. Just takes some getting used to. I was thinking about getting one instead of my rmk, but from what i have read they had there problems in earlier years(03-04). People say 06 was there best year. 07's they decreased compression and they had some major problems. Either way a summit is a very strong sled.

thanks....jsut to clarify, i am buying a trail sled...in my origional post by "trail" i meant the base package avalable on the mxz's. ( i hear they have the weakest, least aggressive suspension)

The MXZ 600 sdi is an AWESOME sled, and it gets 18MPG to boot!
