    I've had 2 SRXs. First one was a 98, bought with 1700 mi for 1600$. I test rode it, was a pooch. I told guy something not right with it(I suspected prob fouled plug), told guy to try out my 97 700 Vmax that I clutched, jetted, triple pipes. He rode the Vmax, said holy crap, this thing is a rocket! I told him the SRX should be a little quicker. I wasn't exactly sure what deal was with the SRX, dirty PVs, fouled plug, PV cable pull thru, why got it cheap. I put a new set of plugs in it, put 3500 more mi on it before sold it.
    Second was a 2000, got it for 900$. only bad thing was seat was torn bad, and skid was in need of attention. I found a beautiful used seat 50mi away for 75$, and did a Polaris XTRA 10 skid conversion, got a great used FOX shock skid for 125$. Very easy install and so much nicer of a ride.
    Both long gone now :( Current sled is 2010 AC Z1 Turbo Sno Pro.

    😊Pull your limiter straps up a hole or close up the gap a little on your transfer rods, will put a bit more weight on the ski's and you will be able to rail around those corners even faster. Bought my 98 700srx brand new, still am able to put 1000miles on each year between my other sleds, and I am still able to walk up right.
