Not sure how many buyers will want to void their warranty just to get to Yam/Cat stock HP levels, even if it is 50-70 lbs lighter. It gets expensive taking weight off a sled. Didnt youvoid your warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, didn't claim I didn't. Just making an assessment on the Doo. Trust me, I'm a doo guy at heart and the only reason I'm on a Yamaha is they don't offer what I want. Trail sled that can easily be changed to 250 hp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I havent seen anything specific on it just the random internet speculation. If they dont put it in a new chassis like the g4 then fuck that. If its a 4 stroke in the g4 people will buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck you skidoo 4 hours ago, Highmark said: Turbo 900 Ace. If this is true what a stupid move. You guys are nuts. If true and it's in the G4, they will sell like hot cakes. Most people have no need for 200hp for trail riding and going back and forth on a lake all day is boring. I would've been fine with 120-140 hp to make it better on fuel, but it still should be better than my 13 mpg pig 1200. Faster, lighter, and a better chassis. Win-win-win-win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 19, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 19, 2018 The big HP on the mav's are done with a larger Turbo. I wouldn't be surprised to see this max out around 200 with the stock turbo. Really depends on its size. The quality of the internals will be key to going much higher as well. I've seen the kits for the x3's for the larger turbo. $3500 and that don't include other extra's you will have to have like a more unrestricted exhaust. To get this sled in the 250 range a person COULD be looking at more than 5 G's. If the sled is down that much from the stock x3 who knows what it will take to even get it above 200. It is tough getting the 1100 much above 300 with the stock turbo. It simply was too small to get much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old two stroke twins didn't fit in the G4 because of width. I doubt a three cylinder turbo will fit, so I would assume the chassis will be a modified G4.
