Not quite as smooth at idle but easily as smooth everywhere else and it feels stronger mid to top Yeah I like it too, we're really splitting hairs on motors. I could be talking out of my ass, cuz I'm not sure, but Doos seem to have better burn down protection from bad gas. Polaris they expect you to know what kind of gas you're putting in, its automatic on a Doo. 29 minutes ago, Steve753 said: The 800etecs still had crank issues. Especially mountain sleds. The early ones did sure. Seem to be pretty well sorted out now. My 14 Freeride was the first etec I owned and it was flawless for 2 seasons and almost 5000 miles.

Not sure what I was thinking. It was fast but rode like a brick and broke constantly. Polaris was top of the game during that time imo. Cat also handled like shit in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A turbocharger that forces zero additional air into the motor is nothing more than a muffler. What skidoo did is called turbo normalized and only a complete faggot ass company would do such a thing.

I forget what the rear suspension was called, mine had 1 shock, and they later added a second one. But mine barely moved, rode like a brick. 1 minute ago, f7ben said: A turbocharger that forces zero additional air into the motor is nothing more than a muffler.

They did it for the mountain segment and it was the first production turbocharged 2 stroke. I'd like to toss a brick through Ski Doos front window for some other reasons, but not that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
