Did the suspension change significantly between the ’96, ’97 and ’98 model Powder Specials?

Is the 580 EFI or the 600 EFI a better motor?

I’m looking for a used sled and like the powder specials but I just want to know if it is better to stay 98 or newer or if the 96 powder special 580 is just as good.

Thanks for your help

HUGE diference

between the 580 and 600 its a tossup but I would pick a 600 over a 580

The 580 is still a decent sled

You would deffinitly recommend the 98 over a 96 for the suspension? do you know how much travel each year had?

thanks Jason

and after a long day of riding that 8.5" feels more like 3"
