  1. My riding partner has a 22 RMK Boost. I have not ridden it yet. But I he had it on our last trip. It was out of break-in. He words were "its better down low than my Axys and my Pro. Its more than the Pro up top and really close to the AXYS up top." His Axys is a Silber turbo'ed 800 running about 10lbs of boost on AV gas. Its over 200hp at 8k ft. His Pro is a Boondocker race gas turbo kit. Running 9lbs at 8k ft, 11lbs at 10k ft on AV gas. Probably in the 185hp range. And the 22 Boost is bone stock running pump gas. I haven't ridden a Doo turbo, but I have no doubt whatsoever the RMK Boost is way more than 165HP at 8K, like Doo advertises. Guessing its over 190hp. BTW he also has a Nytro tank that he got stupid with. Impulse turbo, in the 400hp range. Sits in garage never gets touched anymore.
  2. Yeah we took the engine apart to see what was needed to get it running. Was seized. Turns out it was the crank. We just marked it with GPS. Didnt bother trying to hide it, if someone would have found it that far back, in the dark, I would have given them a fist bump for for having a big set.
  3. Dont have a choice. I will do everything in my power, knowledge and ability to not pay for a helicopter. I dont carry insurance on my mtn sleds. Dont have to worry about hitting someone else, and if I wreck it, I fix it.
  4. I take you dont take apart engines. You dont measure pistons, cylinders, crankshafts, etc. We ride in the mountains. Ive blown an engine miles from the trail in 5 feet of bottomless powder. It took 1.5 days of disassembling that sled so that 3 of us were able to pack it out. Everything on the sleds get inspected before every trip. And engines get torn down every 2000 miles. And while some pistons are usable, they all have enough slop to warrant replacement. And yes, most times I notice a performance increase. Tighter fit, better compression, better horsepower.
  5. WTF are you babbling about? My riding partner spent over $23K on his Boost. All our sleds get pistons around 2,000 miles. Regardless of brand. But he doesnt come on forums talking shit making himself look like an idiot......
  6. As I sit here reading this thread, with Brandon's SOTU on the tv, I am LMAO at which is more stupid..........
  7. Extra compensation as in a small dab of lube first?
  8. My buds Polaris Boost RMK finally came in. Dealer called when we were out west, of course.....
  9. FFS Use your god damn boot string to start the fuckin sled. If its a 4s use your fuckin belt.
  10. Here's what I do, and this is just my opinions. If you disagree, Im good with that. I dont fog anymore. I certainly dont think it hurts. But every time I take an engine apart, there is oil coated on pretty much everything, especially the crank bearings. There is always oil in the bottom. I also dont start them during the off season (well sometimes after about 6 beers I do). My opinion on that is every time you start it you introduce moisture. A byproduct of combustion is water. And also IMO you cannot get an engine truly "good and hot" without building cylinder psi up. Idle or snapping the throttle doesn't build enough cylinder psi up to get it "good and hot" IMO. So while I highly doubt you are doing any serious harm starting it in summer, I cannot see it doing any good either. IDK, maybe Im just lazy...to lazy to pull start them anyway lol
  11. Just a FYI, My trail sled has electric start, but the battery is dead. Has been for a couple years. The dead battery is still in the sled. Oh noes.... My mtn sleds get some unnecessary stuff removed to save weight. Oh noes.... I feel like I need that meme with the 2 red buttons no knowing which to push...lol
