Roosting Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 it seems to be pretty docile until about 6500 and then it starts to get a bit of an attitude. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 2600 miles thats about where my buds sled started to blow belts. Heard he got the grip n rip clutch tools see how it goes.Sounded like it needed quite a bit of shims to get it squared up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I think he said he got the Rev X Faggot Dildo seat model in Black......8.50" Kashoggied!!!!!!111!11 Edited January 10, 2019 by Roosting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 You know...if this Doo purchase by Benny goes sour, I'd hate to be a Doo owner on here. Sheeesh!!!!! Benny's gonna unleash on the "Khasshoggi" whoopin' machine and the trail of dead bodies may end with a FS v3 being the only option to save the intrawebs.

rump-rider Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I predict Ben will be on a 900 ace turbo next year. I need to save some of his quotes about it for future use. He already flip flopped on the 850 in a span of like 2 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 So.....other initial thoughts on the sled Ergos are very good but I knew this , not as good as the Axys but miles better than the PC Fit and finish is great as you would expect but its a fucking 2017 and there are still torx screws holding on a lot of panels. That is annoying but I knew that as well Handling .....here are some issues for sure. The Cat front end is better....much better. The G4 geometry exhibits significant bump steer in corners and I dont know that it can be tuned out at all. Also even though I have somewhat higher steering effort the sled still pushes. It needs more carbide and less spring pressure so we'll see. R-motion is really nice even with cheapo shocks. Cant wait to upgrade all the shocks and get the sled dialed in more Riding the thing without studs is absolutely worthless.......of course riding any sled over 80hp without studs is fucking worthless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whole package goes to Doo. Etec, R motion, fit and finish, dependability, ergos, I could go on... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine nod goes to the etec for a variety of reasons but the 800HO and Ctec2 are really nice motors from my experience with them. The creature comforts go to the skidoo for sure. Everything from the handwarmers to the accessories is a bit better but you pay for that. I would have bought another Polaris , I considered a 2019 cat 800 and obviously the Doo 850. Whatever was the best deal was what I was gonna buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said these machines are the best they've ever been and alot of the complaints are not picking. As far as the bump steer, the x and xrs have a rack steering which is supposed to be better for that. I've never ridden either so I don't know. Doos have always been twitchy up front, one of the reasons I like the axys better. Cats front end is better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat front end is better, ergos good close to Axys, R motion still best suspension imo. I’m gonna put better shocks and maybe change out skis for next year too.

Angry ginger Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 did the goriilla sell his set of G4 pro 40's, those would be a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
