This was an expensive fucking ride. this didn't happen all in one shot, testament to a suzuki bottom end. no re-sleeve, jug is getting repaired by a guy that knows his shit and then nikasil coated. skirt/piston dropped chunks into case and went a few rounds for quite a while, so... complete rebuild with case, crank, etc. and $$$$ is adding up rather quickly. but, it makes the same or more power than the new Polaris 650 so I'm saving about $11K and I'll still have a chassis that can take some abuse.

Eeeesh! Yeah, had my cylinder redone and replated an Millenium in WI. Did an amazing job! Got lucky on bottom end, just a few little pieces that didn’t do any damage. Most of it was tossed out so my crank passed with flying colors....still, I hated cracking the case but, I don’t do anything half-ass and when the engine is already out, well...might as well go through everything.

I was hoping to simply find a hole burned in the PTO side piston - no such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing the lies we try and tell ourselves to make us feel better when, deep inside, we know we’re fucked. We know damn well when we lost a cylinder and we know what damage happens.

Imagine that same scenario in your head for an entire season just after buying that brand new $14K 840 hypersled with 'unmatched durability' who's engine has been assembled with bubble gum and shoe goo. not to mention the best relays and electrical components a company can source from china for the lowest possible price.

Nope, did not run my sled this year. Actually my sled isn't even all together yet..... Not sure what was there for performance shop sleds.... or much of this year's whole program. From what I gather it was kept to a "select few" who were told when, where, etc........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 On 12/13/2020 at 8:33 AM, Crnr2Crnr said: not to make excuses but the 6000 RXC for cross country racing runs 23/40 gearing, where the 6000 LTD or normal consumer model runs 22/48 so @mnstang is correct that in a bit more distance it might have been a different story. that being said, RXC with no e-start weighs less than the normal consumer model. irony is last year Cat ran the 8000 SnoPro with 1" lugs and 21/38 gearing and it beat the Poo 840 I'm not a fan of making excuses because something *doesn't have e start. It *shouldn't have e start. It's not my fault all those other sleds are made for fat lazy bastards than can't pull a cord. Also the r xc is a consumer model.
