Looking at switching from Cat to a 600RS and have a few questions.
1. What is the horsepower on a 600RS?
2. What are the differences between the '08 and '09?
3. Was there issues with the '08's?
4. What needs to be done to trail convert one?
Any thoughts or links to reviews is appreciated
Thank You

1. What is the horsepower on a 600RS? about 130
2. What are the differences between the '08 and '09? 09 has more bracing, 09 also has a different ecm map
3. Was there issues with the '08's? Make sure it has an updated drive axle
4. What needs to be done to trail convert one? Bigger gas tank, unplug the hot start button, and revalve shocks (IMO), you can also regear if you want, put a 25, 26, or 27 Tooth top gear in, 26 and 27 require longer chain

Front radiator and full length tunnel radiator. No problem for trail riding.
