Angry ginger Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Zambroski said: Here's my thoughts on that as I DGAF about HP or straightline racing. I think all these mils are running within 10hp of eachother. 10. TEN. That's not much. In fact, show up with a 1/8 tank of gas and boom...equilized. A mild amount of suspension and a touch of spring or weights in those clutches and again...BOOM. Or, race an 350 pounder working his Axys tinker toy to it's limits....lololol I guess I never understood the "Magazine X said my sled is faster/higher hp out of the crate than yours!!!" fights. just stupid. And if you are a straightline lake racing tool bag showing up with any 800 well, Oh....but I'm sure it's got a "can" on it that shows a 20hp gain. Real speed freaks and straigght line racers ride turbos. And that is all there is to that. End of argument...end of story. Period. The look on 800 boy-racers when the Turbo guy shows up on the lake: zactly, if i give up 2-3 mph over the course of a 250 mile day it's really immaterial. For what we do the crossover sleds the best option, i'd be perfectly happy on an SBA with the 2.0 track, a 1.75 cat cross country, a BCX with the 2.0 or what i have a freeride with a 1.75. they are all going to top out in the 90's, allow me to ride logging roads and the small hills as well as put on a 250-300 mile trail day. I am used to the doo's and can pick it up and tweak what i want inside of a couple of hours so i've stayed with it, helps that all my acceosries change from sled to sled with it as well. my next one I'll be going to a new chassis either way and will have to put some money into accessories so it will prob come down to a 2019 Freeride 146 cmotion(my dream sled) a used 18 BCX 2.0 or a 17 or 18 SBA 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll bet there are a lot of people that trust that 800 over the new 850 right now. You know... the."too new to tell" paranoia. And of course, there are a lot of those mills in crates waiting.

I had mine in the dealer for the "free pistons". They told me my ECM was a 2010.5 map and updated it for me. I had an early build Sno-Check I guess? Beats me. They also upgraded my pedals as they were shot to shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't notice that much of a difference. Slower pull from mid to high range bit I rarely got past that anyway. Slight oil consumption but that was all. I prefer a bit rich anyway.
