And yet my engine isn't sitting on the floor in the garage. I don't care if Cat makes the worst. I got over 4k miles on my Sidewinder and I have not missed a ride, cut a ride short or otherwise had my sled cause me anxiety. I got a 5 year warrantee and have yet to use it.

Hell you were lucky if it was only a top end most of the doo ended there life with a good size hole in the crank . And the poo almost always ended up spitting out a chunk of piston skirt out of the case . The new poo is better but I have 3 buds who have gotten new motors under warranty on sleds less than 4 yrs old . To get fair 3 are rmk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have only been stranded twice. The engine in my 99SX600 blew the cast in half when a rod came through... and my 08 Vector blew a chain case. Twice in 25 years ain't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep strong 3rd place would prob be first but more suckers bought doo 800s than poo 800s so doo has the numbers to win Oh and doo did nothing to attempt to fix a well knowen issue at least poo worked on it Edited February 7, 2021 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right the doo should ez get the jump out of the hole and stay there to at least 660 with the extra track . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
