less weight, more power, better suspension.... reliability is good from the doo and cat side i believe, see how the new Poo Poo motor holds up.

a 460 LBS sled fuel of fuel ready to ride with a 180 naturally aspirated hp, 3" track (choose your length) with good piggy back coil over shocks.

Nobody would likely disagree that they should last longer before they need major engine work. They used to years ago when they had under 100 hp. (Insert your Polaris joke here)

They need to offer versions with no warranty for modders. At a reasonable discount.

Exactly! Im curious how much this would save a person. Kind of like making race program sleds available to the general public.

Personally, I'd love to see a "no warranty" option on a snowcheck, or at the very least, be able to order a sled that is less "vanilla", and more specific to your individual weight and riding style - even if it cost more. By the time one tailors a sled to his / her liking, it adds thousands to the already high purchase price. I'd rather have the option of omitting bars, shock packages, etc and start with a basic bulkhead/tunnel/ engine package - half the fun is in the build. Keep the machine simple. I'd also like to see a tether as standard equipment across the board.

I have no idea if it works for sleds but I know you can get a cheaper price and reduced warranty if you buy a sxs through a company. I know a self employed person who just got a commander with I think 6 month warranty instead of 3? Years and it knocked about 2 grand off the price. Might be something to talk about with your dealer of choice if your self employed and looking to void warranty right away.
