I do see a bunch of Poo 800’s out there with good prices but I’m stuck on the 850 from either manufacturer. If I’m buying new I want the bigger mill 🤣 850 and a 144 or 146 is where I’m at right now. I rode a Doo 850 and it was really nice. I'd have no problem owning one. I don't know if I'd get the 146" for trail riding tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking mine into Dee's tomorrow at lunch Which sled and what for? 4 hours ago, Angry ginger said: not the first sled that ever fell out of the back of the truck. at least it wasn't a boat in the road, right Brad. @Kivalo 4 hours ago, Anler said: There was a bulletin on the fuel pump for the 800 etec, I had mine done under warranty. It's most likely not the fuel pump. Dropped it off this afternoon. He said same as I did. Could be coil, could be direct injection. Could be ecm. You definitely need to get some seat time in on a G4 850 before you jump ship. 55 minutes ago, Angry ginger said: of course Doo's are regarded. Don't know many dealer who will take a cat on trade though Yep. My buddy had a hard time getting a dealer to take his on trade for his Renegade. He paid more for his '20 Gade 850 because they were the only ones to take his Cat. 54 minutes ago, Skidooski said: I remember back when he was all ETEC this and ETEC that.

Mine is a rocket, and still isn't even out of break in mode yet. Fuck no, you don't need anything more than a 137". Going back to a 129" was definitely the best move I made. Handles way better than a 137" in the tighter trails. I loved my '17 Renegade XRS. Was the best sled I've ever owned prior to my '20 Edited January 29, 2020 by SVT MXZ XRS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Both buttcocks and AMG still in break in mode ,on spring order sleds, in February? “best sled I’ve ever owned”, out of both of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computer threw it in limp mode last time out so I’m going to have them look at it and check for codes 144/146 is a little longer then what I’m used to for a trail sled and I could very well end up on a 137. I’m not a fan of the slightly narrower front end on the Backcountry either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was a broken roller or clutch spring. But it got worse so ruled that out. If you're mostly trail riding like I do, I would get a 129" MXZ. You'll be much happier with a 129" Just saw this listed in FB. Good price for having the Quick adjust and 1.60 track, taller windshield and skid plate.

Got caught up in the comments more then the sled listing. I’ll be minimum 137 on my next sled. You can make a Renegade turn just as good as a MXZ.

All in the set up A 129" MXZ XRS will turn better than a 137" Renegade XRS. Especially in the tighter corners. You can add skis and carbides to the Renegade sure, but you can also do the same to the MXZ. Whatever, buy what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually think it's pretty funny that you're going to spend extra money on a Renegade for nothing, when an MXZ is actually better for trails. What's even more funny is you think I'm getting worked up. Do what you want , dumb fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty it handles great. I have it set up more for that tho. I pulled the limiter strap in and put softer springs on the front skis and rear so it rides lower. It's a pretty great sled.
