That’s what I was trying to say thanks for fixing my words.
First Ride Problems
- Thread starter Turbo Thompson
- Start date
So it seems like several people have been able to ride their Gen 5 already, how does it feel? Power on the Turbo is obviously improved but what about ride quality, handling, etc? Does it feel lighter and more nimble or is it pretty much just a slightly narrower Gen 4?
Seems less tippy it’s hard to tell because it’s hard to go off trail with 2ft of snow and a 20k+ machine. Just joking but I side hilled twice and it seemed very predictable. Feels much lighter. I’m 6’3” and I have to go to the tall riser I had to squat slightly to reach the bars. Handles a lot better on the trail but the trail doesn’t have whoops yet.
Got some time on my 165 expert. It’s a really good sled. Rides great. It’s the next level of doo for sure. Very nimble, the narrow is really nice. Skid is a nice improvement over previous doos. It does wheelie a bunch though. Engine and clutch is better than the prototypes I rode. Builds boost extremely fast and runs like a stage 2 on the original 850t.
Is anyone not having codes? Mine is the only one in our group not having any codes so far.
My coil connector was not snapped together properly though and it dropped a cylinder 7 miles into day 1. Got that sorted out and it’s been good since.

What are your torsion springs set at and what is your limiter strap setting?
I have 55 miles on my g5 now and it seems as if the codes have gone away after 35 miles.
I rode a 165 saturday and also wheelie queen, man was hoping the new geometry would have helped but I was a touch let down....man why cant they come up with a rear shock we can lock out from the bars....be an awesome set up!
Already exists, albeit not direct from BRP but aftermarket option available for Gen 4. I would assume the G5 is in the works.
arctic cat's Alpha has had the rear shock lock out for a few years now, controllable from the bars with ATAC (possibly earlier years too with iAct)
skinz made 1 and I think fox does now as well
The secondary I think is the same. The primary has less openings on the outside. It seems much more stout.
I agree that being able to adjust RTS from the bars would be nice, but I would prefer they continue to come from the factory set up to wheelie some and play vs having a skid designed for chute climbing… that just totally ruins the handling for everything else.
I assume Tom and ZRP will have some options to control wheelie.

Update on this problem, just ride it it will clear up after 35-40 kms I put 75 on and it’s good now
Is this happening with turbo sleds or n/a sleds too?
My check engine light went away after 29 miles and is back now at 70. Has something to do with throttle consistency 5800 rpm pisses the thing off.
