I traded down from a 2002 Pantera 800 to a 2002 Z 570, couldnt be happier, its lightweight, looks great, and compared to my last sled I rode, a John Deere Spitfire 340, the Z has plenty of power for me!!

any maintenance hints or stuff, let me know!!

My buddy has owned one for 2 years now and has never had a problem he loves it.
he also gets awesome gas mileage.

1200 miles so far, no problems, fast, love it!

my friend has one, and loves it, he can pick the skis off the ground on hard pack, and its light weight makse it great in the powder, very easy to throw around all around great machine

Just bought a 02 left over and really like this sled ! Ijust started rideing again after about 15 years , they have really come a long way.It has plenty of power for me right now! Derb :D

same with me, hadnt used a sled in a long time, my Z had a faulty idle switch on the carb, would die out when I let off the throttle, dealer fixed it a ok!

Took it up to Maine, hard packed snow, flat long trails, and got the courage to let her rip, mine's a leftover 02 also, and 88mph later, I knew the break in period was a thing of the past.
Later on that day, I 7/8 pinned it from take-off, and Wow, it does lift the skis off the ground!!
I put on about 150 miles, and still had less than a quarter tank left, but man, I was sweatin it, not much civilization in maine, didnt want to run out of gas in nowhere at -5 below!!

I've got 2! 1680 miles so far and it's great. I too stopped sledding about 10 years ago and decided to get back in that this sled is a great start. I see 95 all the time and the SS suspension on mine gives smooth rides all the time.
