Crickets 2026 Skidoo Release

Well you had to buy the Polaris tools to start with s learn how to repair them.I have been riding Ski Doo’s since 1970 and have bought all kinds of tools as the machines continually change .Like the difference in the clutch holding tool from the Gen 5 to the Gen 4.You’ll fiqure it out and keep on sledding,Keep buying shiny things,that’s good for all of us.:giggle:

Ha Ha! I broke my leg early season, fibula, but was back on the bike 12 days after surgery so worked hard to get back on the ski-doo at christmas , riding was good but zero snow and its hard as a rock....don't worry you might be surprised....release is the 19th of Feb, so get ready. Despite biden and trudope trying to destroy us, trump is back, and ski-doo will never sit idle. More fun stuff to come...

Around here there seems to be a lot of unsold Adrenaline/Edge Summits. Discounts on those aren’t stellar yet. What differentiates an Edge from a Summit X? Is it just quality of shocks and adjustable limiter strap? I must be out of my mind in such uncertain times, but I am thinking of Snowchecking a Summit X or Expert. I’ve only ever owned Polaris. Current ride is a 9R Khaos 165.

Once you go to Skidoo….you won’t ever go back!💪

Really, best you can offer this thread as an ambassador is some stale takes on US presidential politics? We could just ignore that the tariffs might hurt the company you work for, or even what everyone's politics here are generally, you really just want to clutter up the thread with this? Obviously you aren't going to say one way or another what's coming out but you could add to the conversation... the real macroeconomic question is why skidoo is paying your ass to sit on the couch and spray this stuff, maybe I can get a factory rebate on that...

Found the Nancy in the group.
 
several years no snow
stampede to buy new pickups
10 years of big sleds with big price tags
utv's taking a big bite of the play money
seriously aging rider pool
all my old riding budies go to AZ winter homes
 
I think the riding pool is more transitioning generations than depleting tho.
My experience, at Christmas I was the only rider over age 26, but had thirteen others with me on their own sleds.

Recent trip where 10 years ago I was one of the young ones, had typically 20-30 guys, I was the fourth from the oldest.

Agreed.

10 years ago mostly 35-40+year old guys riding. (I was 27)

Now mostly 18-25 year old guys riding.
And lots of them.
 
Last year and buddy and I were with a younger group. One was cracking old jokes all day. We just gave it back to him. We were sitting there and he was talking about some girl sending nudes pics to his phone. I asked my buddy where these girls were when we were younger. The younger guy said they would've had to take a picture and print it off and fax it to us. Later in the day they couldn't get out of that hole so my buddy and I went back down after them. I asked him if we needed to take a picture of the top of the mountain and print it off and fax it to him. That got a rise out of him. We finally got them out.

Nicely Done!!
 
Upgrade the reliability, these machines have enough power, enough traction do go anywhere. Stop building them with cheap materials, make them lighter and more reliable. I got 42 miles out of my new turbo summit before it went back into the dealership for a bogging issue, of course they dont have any good techs, basically if they don't see codes they have no idea what is wrong. I will give them a week at most and i will just pick it up and fix it myself. probably a fuel pump.
 
You get lucky or you don't. First day on my new cat i had no hand warmers. The factory pinched the wire and shorted out. Doesn't seem like as big a deal as yours not running right but I cussed as much as you. I have raynauds. Fingertips get froze even with handwarmers sometimes. Rode my buddy's boost until they warmed up. I think doos track record is better than polaris but even Muskoka took his new Gen 5 out and it blew up first day. They all need to clean stuff up a little.

Hate to say it but my brother and I had 2000 miles problem free (both lost reeds at 2000miles) on our gen5 turbos. We grew up racing bikes so we are very maintenance or cleaning and just looking at stuff after every ride. I'm a firm believer in treating sleds like you would a bike has always helped with longevity of the sleds. Our other friend has his on his deck half the time instead of letting it dry off every ride, never looking stuff over and etc. He has blown every 850 doo sled NA and Turbo.... also has had a Cat in between those times and had similar problems. just my 2 cents
 
I'm the same, been riding bikes for 45 years, I break in my 2 strokes a few heat cycles and run them easy for the first 2 hrs. I look over everything after each ride, do all the maintenance. I watch this vids of people buy these machines new and just holding them wide fuc..ng open all day!! And they wonder why they break! Even on a good running broke in machine I would never hold it open full throttle more than 15 seconds at a time unless I was climbing a chute and had.no choice but just holding them down all day you are just going to kill stuff. Many people who buy these sleds have zero mechanical knowledge and what is going on when you do that. I'd bet 90% of all the failures are from abuse. It's no different than towing a trailer up a pass, if you hold her down to the floor for miles you are going to hurt stuff eventually.

15 seconds....

Wow.
 
I’ve got 18 duramax years layed to the floor pulling 34’ bumper pull with six sleds, or 34’ floor gooseneck with nine sleds, or farm implement trailers at 20k plus lbs…..never found this hurt stuff you speak of.

Crazy, you are lucky. I own A shop and work on diesels all day long. I see a bunch of burnt up turbos and smoked torque converters from stuff like this. Some trucks just work better too I guess. Rebuilding a Alison transmission today, smoked c3 c4 clutch packs. Towing 15k with the tuner turned up. Tranny said no thanks..
