He has been looking at Polaris too. We have a good friend who works for a large dealer network, he's a good guy to know when you have issues. And he rides Polaris too.

"You HAVE to use our oil or your warranty may be void! Here it's $50" that's a fucking lie. Agreed. And I got sucked into it every gallon at 50 bones a jug. My brother ran that 3 buck a quart Castrol shit thats been sitting in the gas station shelf gathering dust, and he never had any issues.

When we did our saddlebag trip last year I dumped whatever was sitting on the gas station shelf. I think I used 5 or six brands that week. Polaris, skidoo, ctec, amsoil, Phillips, klotz...

SVT MXZ XRS Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 2 hours ago, jtssrx said: 1. The throttle is a flat out fucking joke. It doesn’t matter what mode it’s in there is throttle lag. Sport mode makes it worse as it hits so hard it’s hard to control the sled. 2. It basically runs side by side with my 850 which has a jaws pipe, 14 wide ripsaw11 with 144 triggers, and a billy howard clutch kit. We raced Wednesday on the road by the Kingston planes. He Lined up in the middle of the road on the top of the crown I had to line up to the right of him on the side of the crown I pulled hard straight into the bank with my skis in the air I held it bounced off the bank and ran him back down and was tied right to his snow flap with my ski. I had to chuckle we told our other buddy who also has a 900 t his sled is faster than mine. 3. My buddy who owns this had an 850 last year he was telling me how this was going to be the four stroke version of the 850 just a little bit heavier. Well it’s not a little bit heavier it doesn’t even feel like the same snowmobile and it’s in the same goddamn chassis. Let’s just say color may not impressed I’ve never owned one of these things. Know right where that's at. Ride that area quite a bit You said you're on a 129" 850, but you didn't specify what year or model? 33 minutes ago, Anler said: The 850 gets really good economy but 2 stroke oil is stupid expensive now, that's a big plus with the turbo not having to buy oil. I pay $32.99/gal for Interceptor bulk refill. That's nothing. 27 minutes ago, Anler said: Sure but I've been out running at night hoping we make it back before I run out of oil. Throw an extra quart in your tunnel bag. 25 minutes ago, bussman said: My 800 isn’t as good but my SIL went over 500 miles without putting oil in her CTEC 600. My '17 800 sips oil. It concerned me at first, but I was riding with a guy on a Renegade 800 Enduro and we were using the same amount. So I knew either we're both good to go or we're both fucked That was 3 years and thousands of miles ago 13 minutes ago, bussman said: I’ve been texting Vince. Oh boy. I don't see him jumping ship.

Of all the sled motors I’ve blown, most of the time it was more than likely do to bad gas, or water in the gas.

A lot of crying going on about the rear end being soft for 250+ guys on the XCR indy. I'm gonna be a a bit pissed if it needs a revalve. Think I'll be fine with some adjustments as it set medium-soft now and I haven't bottomed in the 15 miles I have on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It outweighs alot of other nuances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
