But it was a contending 800 class sled. I haven’t rode a Stock motored 2 stroke like the Mach z 1000 since though. After 90 mph that thing ran a train on anything “Stock” Stock cfr 1000 wasn’t even close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosting Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 well I've driven a few 800's and the 850 just seems to yank a lot stronger than the 800's. I've heard some storys of 120 mph top end with some clutching. Could be possible. The power just comes on real strong. I make my own Delerin bushings. They last better than stock but still wear out after a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I've seen destroyed sleds where literally the only thing left was the skid plate. Well on the BRP site they call it high impact plastic so I need to get me the barely/no impact skid plate that should hold up to strong wind and blowing snow. Well in warm weather only because when it's cold all bets are off. Only reason I have this skid plate is the bulkhead is cast on the G4 and don't need any issues with that getting damaged. What's that , an old Ossa back there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I used to ride with had an 05 and it would hit 128 on the speedo. But that thing had all kinds of Gremlins.

But the factory wiring had all sorts of grounding issues and the factory airbox was garbage.

It would absolutely destroy other sleds midrange and then it ran out of steam at 95 no matter what gears were in it regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
