Big news on the Viking and grizzly motors

[Timmi]

there's a lot of improvements... instruments, tilt wheel, sliding seat, set belt retractor is up higher, taller doors with matching panels, prewired for switches, seats are improved, no exhaust problems, way better engine that is quiet and no vibration, no cvt whine, dump bed with tailgate, led lights with reverse lights, vent tubes are routed up under the instrument panel, the panel is accessible by removing the cover that has metal screws instead of plastic push pins, the battery is easier to access, the airbox and cvt intake are under the hood...

Yeah I know. Dammit. I'm gonna keep on hoping for an ecu fix. The x2 looks very nice and I'm sure is a great machine. The only thing it has that excites me is the engine.

Please let that be true. I'm a big boy and was concerned about the X2 being smaller and being cramped. Looks like I may need to wait a year now on the Viking before I upgrade.

All valid and true I'm sure Timmi but for me I'm ok with everything on the rspec just wish I had that engine. As far as doors go I absolutely love these JBS doors.

Good thing I'm getting a JBS big bore , cheaper for me and less payments and alot more power

the X2 has the same room in the seats as the r spec, just a little less forward space in the floor, not as roomy as the Viking though

if you watched my video comparing the two, I say the same thing, if the r spec had the 686 I would have kept it and had James do a big bore, in fact we were discussing a big bore for the 708 which he is still pursuing, so don't give up hope!

From inside shoulder bolster from driver side to passesnger side shoulder bolster, is it the same width?

[Timmi]

I haven't measured but I would say yes because the seats fit from one to the other.

Thanks, I don't have a dealer close to me that has 1 yet, so I'm having to wait patiently to see one.

The 2019 Viking is already CARB certified with the 686 motor on 5/02/18 and again on 6/25/18.
