Then catch a ride in the groomer when it shows up Ice fishing tent with fishing pole, bait, snd little buddy heater with the price of new machines would be a great thank you gift.

Not that I think it would be wrong or undeserved, I just don’t want to read it. There 850 is going down just as much or more than the poo. Don't believe me go start shopping used 850 summits .lots of new motor at 1xxx mi . I am really hoping mine goes this winter last yr of warranty and all. And I really don't want to have to shell out 15k next fall for a new pos to bounce off the trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely one of the “Polaris Ambassadors” has you on their email list? Is the 850 on the second or fourth rEFlaSh? 15 hours ago, Doug said: Didn't figure you would. Simplify it that's the only difference the last 10 years for Arctic Cat chassis. Motor wise how many MADCATTER'S secretly want the Suzuki back. Be honest now. 🤣 I think they want the mapping guy back who left for Polaris. Most guys that had the zuke claim the ctec has better power throughout the powerband.

Bontz Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I know my diehard Cat buddy claims he's been happy with the powerband of his ctec as compared to previous Suzuki powerplants. But he continues to say he'd go back and take his Suzuki any day of the week over the spitting and sputtering and overall "run-ability" of the ctec. He was talking about getting the Precision flash done, but that was last spring ... I don't think he ever pulled the trigger on that. The other 3 guys on Cats in our group are 2 guys running Suzuki engines yet, and the other on a Thunderkitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctec is still the best currently. At least you have 4 smart friends. Deepthroat says cats don't exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wearing your green blinders again, saying ctec is still the best currently .. but that's OK, every brand has their Jim Ramstads The one guy I referred to with the ctec ... he's a diehard Cat guy, but he absolutely floored me when he said - if his dealership sold Polaris, he'd be on one right now. So he's definitely one of the smart friends you refer to!! The other two on the Suzuki mills are too scared to get out of their sleds and the other guy can buy whatever he wants and he likes the Yamaha engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me put in a perspective you Cat clowns will better understand ... the last time Polaris had a less than good 800 was when the platform you're still riding was introduced. In other words, over a decade ago. Polaris fixed those problems though, a couple years later ... you guys are still on an outdated, 11 year old, chassis (with an underpowered, time bomb ctec engine) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new Matryx? Huh, so weird how that “new” sled has the same style conventional rear skid as a Procross. Your “new” chassis is a whopping 3 years newer than a Procross as the Axys came out in ‘15 and I hate to break it to you tinker bell but your spiffy “new” Matryx is all Axys underneath. What happened to that Rush/Pro-ride/abortion thing you diptards were riding up until last year? That hunk of shit really took the world by storm. So much that no one copied it and Polaris went right back to where they started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to defend my brand to someone who doesn't even ride a sled that's from the past 15 years. But hey, if you want me to insult you, I certainly can ... but honestly, you're not really worth it. BTW - why aren't you over on HCS since it's so much better now? I thought this site was .... what was the phrase you used? Oh yeah, this: On 10/21/2021 at 2:49 PM, AK440 said: The HCS site is much better now than it was before the great purge. Look at this place, it’s fricking dead. Much better info and traffic on the original HCS site. This place is one step above PSP for lack of traffic and overall lameness.

Even in a axsis I would way rather have a 850 than any of the total shit 800s poo was sticking up there buyers ass .
