Yep, if he ran out at 130, there is clearly something wrong with that sled. I had the same motor; 200+ was not an issue. Maybe the track's too tight.... 200+ kms right? You muste ride specifically with fuel econ in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 200 plus miles, groomed trails, asshat velocities. I think we've been over this. 238 miles..... whatya got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law states speedo can be off 10% but only report higher and must not report lower, odometer must be accurate. How can the odometer that reads track rotation be accurate and the speedometer based on track rotation be off by 10%? Please explain.

Garth Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 You really got 238 miles to a tank on an 800 etec running high speeds on trails? No gas can mounted to the tunnel?? I have another friend with a 13 800 e who ride much more conservative and he can't get that. Yours musta been a ringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That is possible on both analog and digital units. That isn't to say that all manufacturers, could not make their gauges more accurate, and more precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzleboy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 No, I posted a link to a guy who got that on a Renegade in QC (high speed trails). On mine, I easily calculated that based on what it took to fill my tank, knowing the tank volume, and the mileage already accrued, that I could conservatively reach 220+.

Puzzleboy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Yep, 228..... sorry Alison. It was a forum post from somebody else on a different forum, sorry about that. I'm really sorry. How about this..... we'll call it 200 to be safe. Does it really matter when a Polaris runs out at 138? 9 minutes ago, Allison Burgers said: It was 228 miles in all your previous posts in this thread...keep your BS straight son...go take your meds and go back to reading Snow Goer in the basement with the Gimp...

Puzzleboy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Actually, I'm the only one who has posted actual facts. 228 miles on a QC run. But the Polaris monkeys clearly can't handle the truth.

Puzzleboy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Fixed for ya. So mine calculated at well over 200, I posted a guy who got 228 just prior to running out...... is there a question there somewhere?

Please explain. The electronics module controls it all. There was a re-flash for the ECU on my sled regarding cold start. Somebody at the manufacturer screwed up somehow and suddenly the odometer was showing less than was actually traveled as well as the speedometer showing less than actual. They realized the mistake and another reflash of the ECU fixed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 "Facts" from some random Internet post.. Sorry puzzle my facts are real world experience. 200 km, got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 He's likely lying, I know. Not sure why exactly...... and my calcs are probably wrong too. And the thousands of ETEC buyers who are experiencing FAR less mileage than BRP claims, are surely embroiled in a class action against Doo right now...... You do realize, that you are the random internet post? Just now, Garth said: "Facts" from some random Internet post.. Sorry puzzle my facts are real world experience. 200 km, got it.

Puzzleboy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I addressed it, try to keep up. No idea what their conditions were, or how many readings they took. Their 600 readings seem accurate. The only valuable thing you posted, was a useless and errant, calibrated dipstick example....... valuable for a few laughs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Im just heading back from Cochrane. I rode with 4 800etechs, 2 assults one a 600 the other an 800 and 2 1200 doos. We where riding hard all weekend at temps from plus 4-8. The 1200s always got the best milage followed by the etechs. The 2 polariss were close but always used more. No one was getting anymore them 200km per tank this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the new fella, Burgers......... rides a Polaris? Yes...it does say that on my profile... Been riding my 800 since 2015, when new, and had another 2011 800 (still have it as well) before that. The 2015 Polaris 800 Pro S Rush gets considerably better mileage than my 2011 Polaris 800 Pro R Rush. The newer Polaris 800 engine is much more efficient. Ride 1500-2000 miles a year and rode with a guy who had an 800 ETEC and then a 1200 (and it's not Puzzler, but he's also caught in a similar vortex..lol) and I consistently got similar mileage to the 800 but better mileage than the 1200....compared over an extensive time riding together. Also haven't blown a belt since 1999, but I did see a guy out on White Lake blow one on an XRS once.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 NoT possible oggy the Doos get 367km no matter what. Where did you stay in Cochrane? I'm just south of North Bay heading home from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says the 800 ETEC gets 228 per tank or well over 300 Kms per tank.....Oggy how can this be? Puzzle is wrong again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
