M1100 Turbo

[Phizzer]

Got the turbo into some deep snow today and made some good runs with it. This sled is sick. It took some getting used to the steering, but now I wouldn't ever change it. You have so much control of the sled and with all the power, there's not a lot of terrain that will stop you. I've heard a lot of people comparing the 800 to the 1100 turbo, saying that the 800 would waste the turbo in the trees...I disagree. I've rode both. And the more that I get used to riding this four stroke, the more the sled surprises me on how it reacts and handles. Just a little kudos to Arctic Cat and there new platform.

glad you like your sled. i cant wait to get some time on an 1100. i love my 8. Its funny how a month ago everyone was complaining about their sleds now people cant say enough about them.

happy to hear a postive thread

i couldnt agree more. its different than my old 1m, it seems just a quick shot of counter steer and she lays right over and you can steer back in to it and maintain it like nothing, the power is great i never had it to the bar mostly in between 1/2 and 3/4 throttle and still climbed great, cant wait to get it broken in all the way

We're riding in South East Alaska. Here's a pic from the other day on top of a favorite local spot....

Why is that? I do notice I had to change my riding style "needs a vertical post" This weekend 5 ft of new 18 PSI I'm still smiling, this sled is the bomb!!!

I rode mine today with Phizzer and absolutely love mine. It just keeps pulling and pulling.

I hear you!

My 1100T dives like a nuclear submarine in the fluff,,,,,,,, Put Simmons Gen 3's on it and I have a feeling my next trip the sled will behave entirely different in the powder....

 

[SEAKM8]

I have the stock skis on mine still. I will be getting new skis next year for sure. Just not sure what ones yet.

8'' slydogs with a trim are working sick.tons of float and not hard to steer on the trail .and there a bit stiffer in the tip then the 7''.

Using slp pp l think throttle control is the key

We been riding in 3 to 5 feet of new and it seems like everytime I hit the deep powder it just not wanting to pull, its like I am dragging something?? my sled is all stock but Powder Pro's and mountain fit vents. what 18 PSI put you at for HP?? I really like it other then the deep snow.

Do you have a boost gauge? I rode mine in west yellowstone a week agoa anf the first two days felt great and the last day I got the same sensation you are getting. Feels like I need to unhook the plow. I think that i had or have a boost leak someplace as I was not pulling the RPMS i should have been. I personally cannot wait to get my muzzy pipe back on the sled. It makes a huge difference. WORD OF WISDOM . . . Carbon fiber skinned muffler will not work on the M1100T. About 4 miles down the trail I could smell something funny. Carbon Fiber was sticky and smoking. So getting a titanium muzzy to go in place.

Like turbo said; sounds like a leak or clutching. Even stock this thing rocked. First time out; 16psi was fun 18 was a blast. Will start going up until I see a code running 92 pump. Actually I found the lower boost 14-16 was easier in the trees, but really had to have a steady throttle through the tight turns (learning curve) I'm going to guess 220-230hp? Hijacker 2 with down pipe.

Loved My 8 in slydogs compared to stock. Not as easy to lay over but I am not that great of rider lol
