Don't need to watch any video. This guy isn't buying any SkiDon't, Cat, or Yammy. And there aren't many Unmodified stock parts on my sleds anyway, so I can't really say I ride Polaris either.
Sounds like a closed mind.
Sounds like you missed the motor down thread in the axys forum and somehow landed in the doo forum!
Stock etec 800 bore with just porting adds 12hp on pump fuel and no changes to head.. That's up to 175hp and the 860/880 have been doing the 20 plus hp for years
It's not showing up
more lube is always better
I would say the right amount of lube but directed to correct location is even better.. Look at the etec.. Much less lube than ptec and directed to right location
Don't slam the lightweight technology just because Polaris jumped light years ahead of BRP . Remember when lightweight ski Doo were the greatest?
I love lightweight but I've seen enough axys with problems this year that I won't be buying one. I was going to buy one not now. I've seen my buddies miss 3' pow days because of bogging issues. So your statement of them being light years ahead is 100% false. They were ahead a little in the deep powder capability when they run right but that's it. Durability is more important than light weight especially when the difference in rtr weight is only 20lbs. 174 t3 vs axys 163x3". This new chassis, engine and clutch combo will have poo and cat worried. As soon as poo can figure out how to build a sled that can go 2000 miles with only maintainance then I'll be looking at them again. When I ask the poo guys I ride with how long they've gotten an engine to last they always say " we don't care. We get new ones every year so we don't have to worry about the engine blowing up". Lol. That isn't something I have the luxury of doing so I have to buy something that will last. I've got 2600 miles on my sled and haven't done anything but maintained it. Gotta love Doo.
