If I ever do upgrade, I am pretty much set on getting one with R-Motion. As I get older, ride/suspension is getting very important to me. Durability, which concerns with etecs, is paramount but ride/suspension is definitely a very close second. Take a new Poo axys chassis out for ride.

Yup they do. 600etecs are pretty much bullet proof compared to the 800s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they get their engines figured out and I hear some good news about them for 2-3 yrs in a row then maybe I will reconsider them again, but until then, Poo's are off the list unfortunately. Just my opinion. Don't anyone take it personally nor start a sled bashing/debate thread. I'm sticking with my decision and nothing will change that.

The 600 motor is stout. So is the 600 etec so both good machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go the 2 stroke route I'd most likely stick with 600 class sleds. I still haven't taken a 1200 Doo with R-Motion for a ride yet but would definitely do so prior to making any sort of a purchase. I'd also like to try a 900 T just to see what those are like as well but I also want to stick with a 129 skid, nothing longer, or else I'd be into a new trailer as well.

The 900 or 900T. I actually liked the 900 in sport mode. It's a torquey little motor. It with an r motion would be a great replacement for your vector if you do.

Good to hear about the 900 T but like I said, I need to stick to a 129" or less skid as I am not into purchasing a new trailer. I believe it was you or 04 or both that said they only come in a 137 skid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All been bulletproof. This weekend the 800 Cat had too leave the ride early which actually is surprising as imo cat has the best 800 for reliability. He had start up issues, ran great if we pour fuel into the spark plug holes hut if you shut the engine down it would not syart unless fuel was added to spark plug holes. 4-5 times until we gave up in case it got worse Edited February 11, 2019 by Original Lummox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
