In Forestville today March 21st on my 2024 Gade 900R XRS Smarht Shocks 4th trip to Quebec over 3000 Miles loving every minute of this Sled!!

That is why you got tbe good deal. its a fixer upper

I know this place !

Sharp looking sled Chris. As for the upside down shocks, I am sure at some point next winter there will be a spot right after a sharp corner they will be turned the other way!

Indeed, 860 more than I did though. As the Sports teams say. Looking forward to next season.... 😀

A sad state, I put 860 miles on in Quebec this year. The lowest amount in 25 years except for the covid year when travel was not permitted.

Sorry Mike.....my '24 sled ended up with less than 20 miles on it 😒

And... NO SNOW!!

I will probably go back to the Rene 900 ACE when they get the new front end and new skis. The problem with the non turbo ACE is that you can't get an upgraded model with the better shocks. On my 900's I had tried the coupler blocks on #;s 3 and 4 but the rear suspension became miserably harsh riding. On the 600 I tried cranking the rear springs higher, then the front springs tighter, both tighter, front track spring loose. But I don't think I did try going any higher than #2 on the couplers on the 600. You are right, that may have solved the push and the 600 rear suspension was so much softer it may have been fine with the couplers cranked up. mike (Anyone else with reviews on their 2024 sleds?)

All true that

Not getting any younger, the last thing I want is a trailer problem when heading out for fun.

Started swapping trailers when they get near the 10 year mark, added dual axles this last time, if I get a flat I can now at least get to a spot away from heavy traffic to change it

looking and thinking about this more I gotta call bullshit on this blackjack1 and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Just because it will fit either way dosnt mean its right. Two things are obvious. The small warning sticker on the shock is upside down and more importantly you dont have the two surfaces where the piston arm goes into the shock body and the crimp around the two part shock body facing up where water and snirt can lay and collect on whatever seals are there. I'd bet my lunch money that BRP would say absolutely only one way it goes on. Besides the up/down issue I found this last night and just about shit my bibs. It's extremely unnerving that a dealership would let something like this out the door. Imagine the bolt coming out and the shock dropping and suck you right into the woods or worse.
