hayward Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 This thread reminds me of the 2000 mxz 700, and how it used to wipe the earth clean when up against the 02 mxz 800. What a waste-case of a turd that 800 was. Couldn't even make enough recoils for the damn thing the first winter when everyone's was leaving them sit. Fucking plastic junk, rope wrapping around the stator and taking that out with it. Crank bearings failing at 2000 miles. Beautiful looking sled, but that's certainly where it ended. They've all had their issues i'm sure. It's a wonder anyone even rides these damn things anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 800 promptly blew the fuck up on me as well. Lost a main bearing and motor was junk. Thankfully it was an X package and the top end was still good. I sold it to a bud who parted it out. Only paid $2200 for it and he gave me 2k for it. That was my first exposure to parting a sled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ski doo had 10 years of poor 800’s but the worst is still the Polaris CFI that blew an engine per tank of gas around here. And that’s not an exaggeration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
