Rode it. 

Chassis is not up to Polaris. More like an extension of the xp/d's

Engine is brilliant. Torque is there and it's linear. More 4s like than any other 2s

It's a winner. But I wouldn't pay more for it than the poo

CD's AND paper are for fucking meatheads anyway. Anyone can just look this shit up on their phone now. And skidoos don't break down so there is really never any need to look at the owners manual. YouTube mother fucker!

Ok , not on phone anymore

Got a few pulls in just to see how it stacked up. My sled is back to stock and it was running good last night.

I gave my buddy on the 850 the hit from a 60 roll and he slowly pulled a length on me. Now keep in mind this skidoo is still in break in and he weighs probably 80 lbs more than me. I was very impressed with the 850

I think on good hardpack and from a dig the polaris would get out in front and then be run down by the skidoo and probably give up a few lengths in 1000'

Just my initial impression and gut feeling.

Chassis wise the G4 feels very much like the xs/xp .....if you like the previous chassis rider position you will love the g4. The skidoo feels very refined and some of this is likely due to how incredibly smooth the motor is. The seat is comfortable and the sled feels balanced although my buds needs a little more ski pressure.

If the Polaris is a year old, every bearing in the rear skid is junk and needs replaced. Don’t believe me?  Check them. 

For best result, replace them with ski doo wheels. 

Yup ....I did just that. Although it is two seasons old now. The bearings were all a little grumbly and I replaced the two worst ones with skidoo
