Agenda? What, that DI actually works? I have no agenda, but I understand the technology, and it does work.

The one about mountain sleds? Yep, saw it.
Like I said, if there is a design issue (or an issue with his sled in particular), pretty sure BRP will cover the belts and correct it.
Perhaps you should review that Google search again..

Ok. Was just an odd comment.

2015 600 models. Sorry, the Etec was 25% better, not 20%. And far less oil. The 800s are closer though, IME.
Yep, Doo might as well abandon the ETECs......
600 Rush Pro-S: 12.46 mpg, 163 miles per qt. of oil
MX Z X 600 H.O. E-TEC: 16.55 mpg, 213 miles per qt. of oil
And where are those 800 numbers pertaining to the actual discussion ? Nice cherry pick to fit your agenda..

Review 04NF post regarding 2k in belts!
-
Why don't you go Google "850 drive belt" and then come back and tell everyone who is going to have the highest belt sales. Hey, they're the market leader you know..

Price out those Polaris belts. Yeah, their sleds might be cheaper, but they're certainly hoping to make up the difference at the parts counter!
foot wells, toeholds, recoil, sec clutch float kit, skidooz got your wallet in the their sights. Only skidoo calls these items "accessories"

Footwells? And what's a recoil? Well you can buy a recoil- ONCE. Belts are a wear item.....
C'mon, $270 for a belt is not gouging? You must be a POO lover..... and readily drink their Kool-Aid.
What im saying as Doos cost more in the first place then you still have to finish building the sled after purchase with "accessories" Why don't you share the cost of the Doo belt with the class to make your argument?

Yeah, we'll run a 130hp 1200 on the gun against 165 hp 800s. 1200s are nobody's top speed weapons. Poor Fuzzy....
Fuzzy even quoted himself....... clearly off his meds again.
Got some vintage (unstudded) iron though!
Did you not just recently claim that the 1200 has nearly 800 performance all while using less fuel??? A 140hp 800 Polaris should be no contest for you.

Wow. Says the Doo guy, pot meet kettle.. Doos nowadays don't even come with foot wells or a recoil!

No aftermarket belt is technically better than OEM..... AFAIK Polaris belts are patented and exact replicas cannot be made by the aftermarket brands. Therefore you cant obtain the proper taper belt/clutch face.
I'm sure they are Tommy, and I'm by no means saying that the polaris belt is not good. Let's say after a few years of using Gates belts over many thousands of miles that in my opinion they deliver better value than the OEM Polaris 115 or 117 respectively.

You mean doo didn,t account for that when designing and testing their awesome sleds, or do you think doo left this one up to the consumers to do the testing ?
In this case that would Seem possible.

What exactly is this, "Burp the gas tank"? I can't say I have ever done that, nor believe I need to, in all the years I have been sledding. When I fill up, I can get it right up into the neck on both sleds if I want too but rarely do due to spillage/overfill concerns.
I have checked, periodically, while stopped and the gas has hardly gone down any. I can't imagine burping it while filling up would allow me almost another Gallon in my tank?
It's a Doo thing irv, poor tank design.
I have noticed a few Polaris guys want to join in on the fun too but personally I have no issue getting mine filled while seated on the machine with no moving, bouncing, or throwing around of the machine required.

Oh, for sure! I remember reading about all the blown belt issues the Cats were having a few years ago, then someone mentioned what a new belt was worth and I near sh!t myself
I forget now to be honest, but I think my XLT's belt is around the same money as my Yamaha belt? It's been a few years since I purchased one of those too.
Yes when I had wedge Indys and even Edge XC sleds the OEM belts were around $80
-
Ah this is mountain riding. That makes it more believeable. Prob tons of heat.
-
Yes I bought the one I have used. They are way expensive new that's why I went with the PA as my second one. It was on sale for a good price. It really is a good lift for the money.

OEM. It's been 2-3 yrs since I last purchased one, but going by this, and others I just seen, it doesn't look like the price has gone up much or any?
Wow Irv that is good and more in line with what a belt should cost. I think the other manus just might be making a little extra profit on belts..

Even a doo lover like me finds that hard to believe.
Might have to get my buddy, the Puzzler, to investigate this one.
It does seem to be a lofty claim, for me that would be installing a new belt every ride and at times 2 belts per ride.
-
Irv is that a OEM Yamaha belt for that price?
-
Yes that's exactly what seems to be the case. I will have to grease it.
I also have a ho made Mar lift copy with a cable winch. That one works great but do have to swap the cable every few years.

Nobody said DI does not work??? (Did they? Please quote the post) Just your milage comparisons do not work.
