I see the Khaos slash and the Boost are being moved back to Feb now from polaris.. at what point in time does the company cancel the orders and off them a 23 at a heavy discount ?

Yeah, looking at sled prices now, even if you riding is just limited to getting your sled broke in for next year, you are money ahead and have the sled you want.  Just think of it as like it was a low snow winter and move on.

Honestly, these prices for sleds is just over the top absurd right now. 

I’ve heard some really bad rumors about what prices will be like for MY23. I think it will be good for one thing, market crash. I mean fuck, just look at the costs for anything right now. My utility bills just went up 20% last month.

Supply being what it is right now, accentuating the positives becomes really important.

Looking forward to a full ride report. Does it have more snap then your 6000? I too can feel the force of the dark side!!!!!!!!

I'd hit it.

It appears that they have it limited during break in. At 100 miles on the odometer I did some short pulls on a rail grade. 88-90 mph, and a little shy of peak RPM. I'm set on ethanol mode. 

The power will more than meet my needs. I'm obviously not out of break in mode yet, but feels very similar to the Cat 600 at this point, with roughly the same top end speed. I suspect I'll be impressed once it is broken in.

650 will outrun a Cat 600, at least mine.  Your RS would have the RXC setup I believe.  The 650 I rode wasn't studded so hard to tell on the low to mid range on packed trails.  

Does your 650 shake so violently at idle it looks like the motor is going to separate from the chassis?

Ugh ... please don't tell me we're back to that bullshit again.  That was one of the biggest complaints of the Polaris 800, prior to the 840/850 being released, and how the 800 was a rattle trap.  I sure as hell hope the 650 isn't that bad.

@X2700 had one as a loaner.  We thought the crank was bent.  LOL

From a design standpoint maybe it's fine at the low speed and load?  Could help keep vibrations down while cruising with the soft motor mounts?  Makes me kind of laugh after all the years of guys saying not to use an impact on a clutch puller or it could hurt the crank.

I don't have any problems ragging on any of the brands.  What they get away selling us for $15k is total BS.

As far as the MY23 pricing I think you will see a MINIMUM of a 10% increase over MY22.

My XRS rattled like hell.  To a point some would point out the hand guards flapping at idle.  Both my SX were rattlers at start up and then intermittently after warm up.  I guess it never bothered me.  If crank run out is in spec, Giv’r!!

My current is smooth as butter.  I’ll prolly hate it.

 

yep she looked like a wobler!!

Just close the panel and ignore!!650 vibration about same as 850.

I just installed motor in a 12 800 rush and boy did i forget how they vibrated!!

It will probably be in the 18-25% range. That seems to be the going trend on everything.

While I agree with at least something in that range, I’ve heard upwards of 30% on a lot of things. With Covid cash long gone, some employers looking to bring people back to the offices, people having to start pay student loans again and wages on the stagnant side, this may just be the year this crazy market gets it’s legs cut off.

My 650 doesn’t vibrate. Neither does my neighbors. Hit 98 with the 146 1.6. Definitely track vibration at high speed.

I've a distinct feeling you're going to find the clutch engagement on the RXC rather bland compared to your last whip.  You should sell it.  I can be up on short notice with $5k in cash monies.  

I should have bought that lynx the dealer had this spring. Then I would have a rare lawn oriment to look at

It’s weird for sure.  Really weird.  Triple your price and I’ll even fill the tank for you!
