you can take your numbers and throw them out the window because i have a 2010 800R and one of the guys i ride with has a 2008 attak 1000cc and i can beat him so bad its not even funny and both sleds are stock and same goes for another guy i ride with he has a 2010 1100 turbo and i kick his butt to and the numbers say both should be faster than mine so i say your numbers are wrong..... ski doo is better than polaris end of story.
@99LT1Xtreme drive a 2liter turbocharged rallycar while pulling a trailer? no, ud want an bigger diesel engine for that - it's not about hp cause then ur all wrong its about smoothness and being able to get the gas down to the belt with as little friction as possible so you don't have to put the trottle to the rod all the time - the machines are mapped to fat for a reason - the lakeridestupidity. the 2-strokes arn't made for it.
Its kinda hypocritical wailing on cat owners the way you guys are. I like ski doo, and alot of other sleds, but cat has been my favorite and so far the most reliable. so i would like to know what makes them bad?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
theyre were alot of guys around where i live who have had tons of problems with the new etec. quite a few burned to the ground or melted pistons. and even after the break in period were still getting horrible fuel milage and were slow as fuck
@14polaris14 No reports have EVER been filed for an E-tec 800 burning up, and no one has had "Tons" of problems.... Just because the 800 E-tec will make anything Polaris makes look like lame duck, doesn't give you the right to trash them with made-up facts... Hey, Polars makes good sleds, the E-tec is just better, deal with it.
@munden25 may have less HP, but polaris uses a WAY better clutch, so off the line the polaris 800 will feel faster, however, long distance the skidoo would take it. honestly both are GREAT sleds. the new polaris 800 is no slouch, but looking at numbers only, the E-Techis way better. however skidoo needs to use a better clutch...
@munden25 summits are good sleds for climbing. but the pro rmk would lose it in the trees in no time. and the pros are so much more nimble. i have ridden both. but just my opinion.
@munden25 mid range torque is way better on the polaris 800 engine than the etec - also it has more precise and smooth gas response.
I ride a ski-doo 1200 renegade and i love ski-doo but face it, the polaris engine is better, suits more for what it's made for.
Would you want a rallycar engine if you'd pull a trailer??? the turbolag would make it impossible to drive casually. Ski-doo has more hp, but polaris fits better in a snowmobile.
polaris is shit garbage , skidoo is where it is at they started it all they know what they are doin. And the numbers will always show skidoo is better its a proven fact
well to the guy who said he would like to see a skidoo with 10,000 plus miles on it and saying that never happens....just so happens there is one for sale where i live and it has 13,400 miles on it and is in excelent condition and still running and to be quite honest with you yamaha hasent done anything new with most of there sleds apex being the worst one so you should be apluading the other dealers for changing it up a little try a new chasis or suspention it deffinatly helps with sales!!!
another 800r wheelie machine....like thats impressive? most sleds set up correctly will do this. lets see a etec with 10,000 plus miles without pulling anything apart! lets see any ski-doo do that. Just another company trying to make a 2 smoke into a 4 smoke. maybe they should work on there 1200 some more..and throw there new 600 4 banger back into the lab....low hp way to low! watched a 2011 bapex smoke a 800etec time after time this past weekend...wish i had my flip!
@MrLeslie199 Do you even know what you are saying? He is on a MXZ? That and the RMK Pro do completely different things. You're comparing a short track racing sled to a mountain sled?
tried out the 800etec this weekend. It was basically brand new, but we put on about 150 miles and the oil tank is basically empty, how much does it use after its broken in? and how many miles did it take for break in?
has anyone had problems with the plastic being too weak? sold a 2009 mxz because the panels and belly pan kept on cracking...rather have sturdy that light.
Cat can suck it. I love all the retarded Cat owners that wail "my F7 will kick that things ass." No dumbass, it won't. It's not even close. These things pull on the Cat 1000 until just past the 1/4 mile when the Cat goes by (barely). That means the CFR800 and the F7 get STOMPED!
Ski Doo runs the show. You're just another typical whiny Arctic Cat fanboy with nothing to be happy about so you trash the best stuff out there.
@Flexfuel306 ,I own2 skidoos (1 etec)(1 rotax) 2 arcticcats ,,f800,f1000 sno pro) And I liked them all i'am not trying to fight, but the cats and skidoos were the best, polaris not so much, but i recently raced my friend who just bought a 2010 skidoo 800 e-tec with a 1 3/4'' inch ck, and i have my f800 snopro 136''inch track, and only a 1 1/4 track, on a hard pack trail so he had an advantage with the big lugs, and i will admit he beat me in the quarter mile but just after i smoked him very badl
@Flexfuel306 The F7`s will slaughter those things if set up right. U can say that Doo Doo runs the show until ur cases are sittin on a bench because the crank is out getting main bearings replaced!
HA! Typical bullshit from an arctic scrap fan. "If it's set up right". Sure, you can clutch any sled and make it faster. Stock for stock, the 800 etec will make the F7 wish it was never built.
My good buddy has 1400 miles on his 800 etec. No problems so far, so I'm not sure what bullshit you're reading. All sleds blow up from time to time. Generally because the idiot rider started pinning it too early and cold seized it.
@Flexfuel306 Stock the E-tec beats the F7 in all areas including gas and oil MPG or litre, but it comes with a price SHITTY ENGINE QUALITY. The reason those engines bottom ends go to shit so much is because skidoo tries to use as little oil as possible and when the seals on the grease packed mains go out they lose the grease and there is nothing there but the tiniest little bit of oil in the cases to lube the mains therefore they tend to sieze up. BTW tell ur buddy to give it another 1K miles.
Guess what genius. There's a little thing called pre mix. Throw a few drops in every gas tank and an e-tec will run forever, plus destroy the competition in performance and fuel economy. Most guys with a brain run pre mix in their carb'd 2 strokes, so it would only make sense to use it in a direct injected engine that barely uses any oil. I run a 600 e-tec with well over 2000 miles on it and haven't had anything close to a hiccup with it yet. Smokes most 600s and uses half the fuel.
@Flexfuel306 There are also these things called powervalves that like to stick if there is a use of more oil than necessary. u run a carbed two stroke on premix, not everybody. That is y there is a little thing called oil injection which if u have a decent snowmobile manufacturer (not skidoo) should work without a problem. but since skidoo is trying to kiss the EPA`s ass they do what they do and it seems to work good in certain areas and in others areas it dosen`t work worth shit.
Wrong again. Running a synthetic oil will stop power valves from sticking. You're a typical Doo basher with nothing factual who talks shit cuz you've been walked on by one or you're just bitter that they're the #1 sled in the industry. And guess what assclown, Rotax engines are world leaders for a reason.
Ride your Poo off a cliff. You're down on power and you're heavier than the Ski Doo that competes with it. That means you lose every time. Fail.
@Flexfuel306 Actually not wrong, full synthetic will keep valves cleaner but they will still get sticky. I have never been "walked on" by a skidoo and I don`t c how u figure they r #1 when cat has the highest power in the industry, best handling sleds, and almost the lightest which skidoo does have on cat but its not by much. I wish i could post a picture of the ten iso-flex cranks on his bench that have to have the mains replaced.If u weren`t such a dumb fuck u would know I don`t ride polaris!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OMFG. Seriously. I never thought I'd find someone dumb enough to string together "cat" and "best handling" in my life. You've got to be fucking kidding me. Cats handle like a bag of ass compared to the XP Chassis Ski Doos. It's not even close. They're heavy as fuck (no, they're not even close to being as light. Only Polaris comes remotely close) and feel like you're going to hit a tree on the trails every time you hit a corner since they steer like shit.
Christ..... Do yourself a favor and google "rMotion". No, they don't.
All Arctic Cat ever does is react when everyone else changes something. They never come out with anything new until someone else does it first. Polaris did the ProRide which was cool, but a pain in the ass to make it work right. Now Doo has rMotion which is the first true fully progressive rising rate suspension system UNDER the tunnel that doesn't need constant tweaking. Yet again, setting the bar for handling.....
@Flexfuel306 I know what the R motion suspension is. But all I'm sayin is that doo got a fair share of designs from cat as did Polaris and well yamaha they r pretty much digging their own grave when it comes to snowmobiles. But honestly do u even know any of the changes that cat made for 2012?
Wow, thank you for reminding me how sad your life is and that I had better things to do than discuss snowmobiles as I'm prepping the motorcycle for the upcoming riding season...
I could care less about what Cat is doing. They're making progress? Oh, so I guess that means they'll be adequate for a change and only just be not quite as good instead of pieces of shit. Big deal.
The rMotion suspension and the 800 ETECs will still kill everything. Then, wait for the 2013s. You will shit yourself...
@Flexfuel306 You think I don't work on my machines either! The difference is it dosent take me 6 or 7 days to prep a bike for the summer. Besides who took most all the cross country and sno cross races this year, last I knew it wasn't doo it was cat. So u r saying skidoo is actualy going to come out with something for 2013 that wont fuckin fall apart. I thought I would never c the day! But when it comes to clutching a sled every other brand will be fucked!!!
You seriously suck at life. Good for Arctic Cat. They finally built a Rev clone. Good for them. It only took them what, 8 years to finally build a modern sled? Oh well at least you'll be comfortable on your Cat while you need a winch to pull you out of a snow drift with that heavy piece of shit.
@Flexfuel306 U keep saying i suck at life so bad, i think u r just jealous because u know i`m better! Not even close to a rev(it dosen`t fall apart). They created their first rider forward sled 4 years after doo and i wouldn`t consider rider forward anything special. Dam strait i will be comfortable with the best ergos and handling in the business!!! If u didn`t hear they`re not much heavier than the doo`s and i will take structural ridgidity over a few pounds any day. More like Cat way > Doo!!
Have fun having your ass handed to you on a platter all next winter by 800 E-TEC RevXPs. Oh, and Doo's new chassis is likely 1 year away too. If Cat actually did pull off a miracle and make something better, it'll last for all of 1 season. Doo has dominated the industry for a full 8 years now. I guess you little Cat bitches needed something to cheer about for once in your lives.
@Flexfuel306 Oh i`ll have fun next winter but the ass handing will be the other way around. So they`re coming out with a new chassis u say, well all u doo riders can only hope it wont have a cracked bulkhead every time u turn around. Maybe doo should be putting more time into the POS e-tec. u must be on crack or something because when was the last time doo took a major final in sno cross or cross country, cant be dominating to much like that now can they!!!
@Flexfuel306 Scratch that last post about cat being a little heavier i just saw the dry weights and cats F8 to doo`s MXZ8 is5 pounds lighter, now its not much but it`s saying something,,,,,,,,it`s saying bye to the competition.
LOL! And you think Cat is actually accurate on their published weights? They're full of shit and they always have been. Unless you've got a turbo Yammy, you'll have your ass handed to you by 800 E-TECs all winter long. And for the record, the 800R E-TEC set the world record for distance covered in 24 hours this year, jackass.
@Flexfuel306 More accurate than Doo! What kind of proof do u have saying Doo is more accurate? For 1 i hate 4 strokes 2 i don`t race in straght lines. For the record it comes down to rider skill fuck face.
@Flexfuel306 how come ski-doo has the short block where they have so many 800's blow up they have an exchange at the factory so you can just send in your blown up engine and they'll send you a new block? Never heard of any other brand having such issues they change engines like they're spark plugs. Too many gay frenchies in quebec I guess :)
And if you had a Cat it would've been every 150 miles. They all break periodically. Funny how only the whiners seem to have problems. I bet you beat the shit out of it and never warmed it up properly either.....
Bullshit. I've seen these 800 e-tec's run 1/4 mile and top end and they do not pull impressive numbers at all. AC Firecat F7's are legendary drag racers my man, and not without reason. 800 Doo's are good trail sleds though...until the problems start..
I and the entire galaxy GET 2-strokes: More rebuilds. Massive "DUH". Just that the Etec IS "all that". Best 2-(no)smoke EVAR. Yamaha can't get their weight down and chassis/handling figured out.
WHEN I move to 4-stroke--Doo 1200R please. 1200R is not such a pig and well sorted handling.
If you are in Michigan., let's set it up. Else you are another internet wanker.
i dead-lifted 315# for 10 reps today, "WIMP" that, please.
Did anybody get the memo that Billy Howard ran a 9.8/125 MPH on tar with a clutch kit and Y-pipe? That he beat EVERY SINGLE 1000 CC OR LESS SLED THAT DAY AT US 131 MOTORPLEX? That his sled dynoed at 163.9 HP'S AND 170 HPs with just a Y-PIPE on dynotech's dyno? You have been informed.
@tomanytoyz "In the trails"--Are you serious?!?!. TRAILS is where the XP rules, reigns and stomps and stuns the competition--I made monkeys of them all last winter--with a 600 Etec--didn't need a 800--but ordered one anyways. :) The XP isn't--or wasn't a lake dominator--maybe this year though based on EVERY magazine and EVERY single person who rode one. Light is right. and now with lake power: Good night!
@ttraynor1 BRP>> Bring Rings & Pistons! That 2-Smoke ain't all that!! i think every sled made in the past 5 yrs call pull-up there skies!! besides,it really sucks when your having a good time, then your buddys ski-doodoo shits,then i have to pull him home,same with Pooplaris and Artic-Crap!! WOW they all have something in common!!
@tomanytoyz Wow--dude--You should have told me sooner. My 2009 Etec 600 logged 4400 miles in 2009 and 3100 miles last year which was a low-snow winter. Then I compression tested it and ALL good. Then I pulled the cord ONCE after sitting all summer--summarized with the automatic summerization program (as usual with smokeless Etec technology) and brrrrrrrrrrr......--1200 RPM perfect idle.
You know, my car needed a tow truck once too. They sure are big and heavy. Yamaha--TANKS a lot!
@ttraynor1 Soooo sorry,did i hit a nerve? why did u check compression?, u got scared did'nt you! yeah, my Yamaha may be heavy to a >>WIMP<<besides,i would rather be stuck to the trail,then flop around all over with your ski-dump!! my Yamaha will kick your sleds ass all year round,and into the future! YAMAHA #1 SNOW,DIRT,WATER,STREET,and everything else in between..have a nice winter..
these sleds keep getting heavier, what happened to the 435 lb 800r in 08 that they were advertiseing, must have been made cheap to lose weight, now they weight about the same amount as an F7 of years past at 468 lbs
@TheHondaAbuser I believe mundens' owned both. Ask him. I believe Billy Howard has owned, sold(dealer), dynoed, raced and modded both. Ask him. What sled do you have?
Taken from maxsled.com's top speed test article for the Arctic Cat Z1 turbo, the fastest sled on the market.
"Depending upon rider weight and in the snow conditions we ran them in, the radar showed anywhere between 107 and 112 mph."
There's no doubt the Cat is fast, but people pulling these numbers out of their asses just have no idea. The clutching needed to get these sleds anywhere past 130mph would make them essentially useless on trails.
There were some asphalt drivers that hit 142mph with a "stock" Z1 turbo, but obviously that's with a lot of clutch work and running on a light track with no lugs, wheels instead of skis and on pavement, not snow. That sort of data is about as useful for snowriders as giving a 0-60 time for a car as it's pushed out of a plane.
@EmmaVirginiaTaylor The fastest stock snowmobile goes 133 on radar. Thats the Arctic Cat Z1 Turbo sno pro. The fastest sled ever? It was a highly modified RX1 it was going 210..Look it up on here.
@godog26 +lol 190mph...i think is 190 KM/H because 190 mph is304 kmh...sorry but 304 kph thats very fast for a rx1...a bike whit a 1000cc engine go at 300kph...and a bike is 1/2 of wheight of the sled...
@133xrider I dont think i would ever want to go 190mph on a sled, for fear of track ballooning and no longer remaining attached to the skid........ Not very fun when your track gives up on ya, while your flying down a lake you know. At this point you are afterall driving on 4 skis and wheels now, with no braking system, and you better have strong legs and arms, and some boots with strong ice gripping power, to slow your baby down before you and her hit the treeline and go down with the ship!
Godog 26 there is no way your RX-1 could hit 190 mph stock! It would have to be decked out to shit, and if it did go that fast you should be going to drag races and attempting speed records!
everyones sled will do taht if u loosen the limiter strap but then it doesnt handle for shit mine it totally tightened and it still stands up and handlles like a dream but nice vid 5/5
Nice japanese music.

People need to calm down on bashing other brands. All have great, and not so great, sleds.
The Ski-Doo e-tec. Same light weight, cost and simplicity of 2-strokes, but the powerband and fuel mileage of 4-strokes.
The Arctic Cat 1000. With just an aftermarket pipe it makes 190hp. Anything else will need a turbo to get that power.
The Polaris Pro-R. First progressive rate rear suspension.

@Flexfuel306 ,I own2 skidoos (1 etec)(1 rotax) 2 arcticcats ,,f800,f1000 sno pro) And I liked them all i'am not trying to fight, but the cats and skidoos were the best, polaris not so much, but i recently raced my friend who just bought a 2010 skidoo 800 e-tec with a 1 3/4'' inch ck, and i have my f800 snopro 136''inch track, and only a 1 1/4 track, on a hard pack trail so he had an advantage with the big lugs, and i will admit he beat me in the quarter mile but just after i smoked him very badl

@Flexfuel306 The F7`s will slaughter those things if set up right. U can say that Doo Doo runs the show until ur cases are sittin on a bench because the crank is out getting main bearings replaced!
MrZr440 11 months ago
HA! Typical bullshit from an arctic scrap fan. "If it's set up right". Sure, you can clutch any sled and make it faster. Stock for stock, the 800 etec will make the F7 wish it was never built.
My good buddy has 1400 miles on his 800 etec. No problems so far, so I'm not sure what bullshit you're reading. All sleds blow up from time to time. Generally because the idiot rider started pinning it too early and cold seized it.
Run along and let the big boys talk.
Flexfuel306 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 Stock the E-tec beats the F7 in all areas including gas and oil MPG or litre, but it comes with a price SHITTY ENGINE QUALITY. The reason those engines bottom ends go to shit so much is because skidoo tries to use as little oil as possible and when the seals on the grease packed mains go out they lose the grease and there is nothing there but the tiniest little bit of oil in the cases to lube the mains therefore they tend to sieze up. BTW tell ur buddy to give it another 1K miles.
MrZr440 11 months ago
Guess what genius. There's a little thing called pre mix. Throw a few drops in every gas tank and an e-tec will run forever, plus destroy the competition in performance and fuel economy. Most guys with a brain run pre mix in their carb'd 2 strokes, so it would only make sense to use it in a direct injected engine that barely uses any oil. I run a 600 e-tec with well over 2000 miles on it and haven't had anything close to a hiccup with it yet. Smokes most 600s and uses half the fuel.
Flexfuel306 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 There are also these things called powervalves that like to stick if there is a use of more oil than necessary. u run a carbed two stroke on premix, not everybody. That is y there is a little thing called oil injection which if u have a decent snowmobile manufacturer (not skidoo) should work without a problem. but since skidoo is trying to kiss the EPA`s ass they do what they do and it seems to work good in certain areas and in others areas it dosen`t work worth shit.
MrZr440 11 months ago
Wrong again. Running a synthetic oil will stop power valves from sticking. You're a typical Doo basher with nothing factual who talks shit cuz you've been walked on by one or you're just bitter that they're the #1 sled in the industry. And guess what assclown, Rotax engines are world leaders for a reason.
Ride your Poo off a cliff. You're down on power and you're heavier than the Ski Doo that competes with it. That means you lose every time. Fail.
Flexfuel306 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 Actually not wrong, full synthetic will keep valves cleaner but they will still get sticky. I have never been "walked on" by a skidoo and I don`t c how u figure they r #1 when cat has the highest power in the industry, best handling sleds, and almost the lightest which skidoo does have on cat but its not by much. I wish i could post a picture of the ten iso-flex cranks on his bench that have to have the mains replaced.If u weren`t such a dumb fuck u would know I don`t ride polaris!
MrZr440 11 months ago
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OMFG. Seriously. I never thought I'd find someone dumb enough to string together "cat" and "best handling" in my life. You've got to be fucking kidding me. Cats handle like a bag of ass compared to the XP Chassis Ski Doos. It's not even close. They're heavy as fuck (no, they're not even close to being as light. Only Polaris comes remotely close) and feel like you're going to hit a tree on the trails every time you hit a corner since they steer like shit.
You suck at life. Fuck.
Flexfuel306 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 The 2012's handle better!
MrZr440 11 months ago
Christ..... Do yourself a favor and google "rMotion". No, they don't.
All Arctic Cat ever does is react when everyone else changes something. They never come out with anything new until someone else does it first. Polaris did the ProRide which was cool, but a pain in the ass to make it work right. Now Doo has rMotion which is the first true fully progressive rising rate suspension system UNDER the tunnel that doesn't need constant tweaking. Yet again, setting the bar for handling.....
Flexfuel306 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 I know what the R motion suspension is. But all I'm sayin is that doo got a fair share of designs from cat as did Polaris and well yamaha they r pretty much digging their own grave when it comes to snowmobiles. But honestly do u even know any of the changes that cat made for 2012?
MrZr440 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 Still waiting for response.
MrZr440 11 months ago
Wow, thank you for reminding me how sad your life is and that I had better things to do than discuss snowmobiles as I'm prepping the motorcycle for the upcoming riding season...
I could care less about what Cat is doing. They're making progress? Oh, so I guess that means they'll be adequate for a change and only just be not quite as good instead of pieces of shit. Big deal.
The rMotion suspension and the 800 ETECs will still kill everything. Then, wait for the 2013s. You will shit yourself...
Flexfuel306 11 months ago
@Flexfuel306 You think I don't work on my machines either! The difference is it dosent take me 6 or 7 days to prep a bike for the summer. Besides who took most all the cross country and sno cross races this year, last I knew it wasn't doo it was cat. So u r saying skidoo is actualy going to come out with something for 2013 that wont fuckin fall apart. I thought I would never c the day! But when it comes to clutching a sled every other brand will be fucked!!!

You seriously suck at life. Good for Arctic Cat. They finally built a Rev clone. Good for them. It only took them what, 8 years to finally build a modern sled? Oh well at least you'll be comfortable on your Cat while you need a winch to pull you out of a snow drift with that heavy piece of shit.
Doo > You.
Flexfuel306 10 months ago
@Flexfuel306 U keep saying i suck at life so bad, i think u r just jealous because u know i`m better! Not even close to a rev(it dosen`t fall apart). They created their first rider forward sled 4 years after doo and i wouldn`t consider rider forward anything special. Dam strait i will be comfortable with the best ergos and handling in the business!!! If u didn`t hear they`re not much heavier than the doo`s and i will take structural ridgidity over a few pounds any day. More like Cat way > Doo!!
MrZr440 10 months ago
@MrZr440
Have fun having your ass handed to you on a platter all next winter by 800 E-TEC RevXPs. Oh, and Doo's new chassis is likely 1 year away too. If Cat actually did pull off a miracle and make something better, it'll last for all of 1 season. Doo has dominated the industry for a full 8 years now. I guess you little Cat bitches needed something to cheer about for once in your lives.
Flexfuel306 10 months ago
@Flexfuel306 Oh i`ll have fun next winter but the ass handing will be the other way around. So they`re coming out with a new chassis u say, well all u doo riders can only hope it wont have a cracked bulkhead every time u turn around. Maybe doo should be putting more time into the POS e-tec. u must be on crack or something because when was the last time doo took a major final in sno cross or cross country, cant be dominating to much like that now can they!!!
MrZr440 10 months ago
@Flexfuel306 Scratch that last post about cat being a little heavier i just saw the dry weights and cats F8 to doo`s MXZ8 is5 pounds lighter, now its not much but it`s saying something,,,,,,,,it`s saying bye to the competition.
MrZr440 10 months ago
@MrZr440
LOL! And you think Cat is actually accurate on their published weights? They're full of shit and they always have been. Unless you've got a turbo Yammy, you'll have your ass handed to you by 800 E-TECs all winter long. And for the record, the 800R E-TEC set the world record for distance covered in 24 hours this year, jackass.
Flexfuel306 10 months ago
@Flexfuel306 More accurate than Doo! What kind of proof do u have saying Doo is more accurate? For 1 i hate 4 strokes 2 i don`t race in straght lines. For the record it comes down to rider skill fuck face.
MrZr440 10 months ago
@Flexfuel306 how come ski-doo has the short block where they have so many 800's blow up they have an exchange at the factory so you can just send in your blown up engine and they'll send you a new block? Never heard of any other brand having such issues they change engines like they're spark plugs. Too many gay frenchies in quebec I guess :)

I and the entire galaxy GET 2-strokes: More rebuilds. Massive "DUH". Just that the Etec IS "all that". Best 2-(no)smoke EVAR. Yamaha can't get their weight down and chassis/handling figured out.
WHEN I move to 4-stroke--Doo 1200R please. 1200R is not such a pig and well sorted handling.
If you are in Michigan., let's set it up. Else you are another internet wanker.

Then I pulled the cord ONCE after sitting all summer--summarized with the automatic summerization program (as usual with smokeless Etec technology) and brrrrrrrrrrr......--1200 RPM perfect idle.
You know, my car needed a tow truck once too. They sure are big and heavy. Yamaha--TANKS a lot!

MrSnowmoto 1 year ago
@MrSnowmoto
Taken from maxsled.com's top speed test article for the Arctic Cat Z1 turbo, the fastest sled on the market.
"Depending upon rider weight and in the snow conditions we ran them in, the radar showed anywhere between 107 and 112 mph."
There's no doubt the Cat is fast, but people pulling these numbers out of their asses just have no idea. The clutching needed to get these sleds anywhere past 130mph would make them essentially useless on trails.
Chromedragon79 1 year ago
@MrSnowmoto
There were some asphalt drivers that hit 142mph with a "stock" Z1 turbo, but obviously that's with a lot of clutch work and running on a light track with no lugs, wheels instead of skis and on pavement, not snow. That sort of data is about as useful for snowriders as giving a 0-60 time for a car as it's pushed out of a plane.
