Hello Everyone,
Im looking to snow check a new Axys Pro 800HO 2.6" w/ the 155 and 4 yr warranty.. I have the color (blacked out), track length/ lug height I want figured out.
Bar Height:
My first question is on the bar height (low, mid, high) I know they are 5", 6" and 7" respectively.. I just don't know what to base that off of.. A point of reference that would be helpful to me is the riser height on a 13 ski doo summit sp 800 xm, I've looked around but cant find that height (I would measure myself, but there is about 7,000 miles in between me and my sled and a whole lot of people that don't like me along the way). Im 6'1", my guess is the mid height.. I wouldn't mind knocking about an inch off the height I was riding at. Any feedback would be extremely helpful.
Shocks:
My second question is on the shocks/suspension type and set up. Im 6'1" 212-215 in gym clothes so I'd guess around 230-235 in gear, helmet and backpack. I was thinking about upgrading to the WE clicker shocks, I'm wondering if its worth the $400 upgrade, and how someone my size should set them (clickers or stock, experience, tips and tricks.. I'll take any knowledge anyone has).. I do a lot of boondocking, tree riding and some hillclimbing (I value my sled being nimble over straight climbs)
Exhaust:
The one thing on the sled I'm not overly excited about is the suitcase sized silencer (I understand its for EPA regulations and stuff, it reminds me too much of the stock one doo shoves in for the etecs) I'm wondering if anybody that ran an Axys short track with the 800HO last year switched out the suitcase and how it worked (what you ran, what worked, what I should steer clear of). I want my sled to stay within noise regs (88db @ 50ft @ 4,000 RPM) but like a bit more snort out of my exhaust, weight savings and possibly any snap I can gain by switching that out. Also what would be allowed and still have warranty coverage, that's worth more to me than weight loss and sound.
Snowcheck Warranty:
Any info on how that works would be awesome (rebuilds.. is it milage based, or do I need to smoke the motor?, how the coverage works, the fine print, modifications allowed). I know this one might be worth talking to a dealer about, but figure since I have you here, its worth a shot.
I've always went back and forth between doo and poo since I was a tike, depending on what they have going, I picked up the Summit in late 13 thinking the tmotion might be something special, Played on my buddy's 2012 Pro in 14 and regretted my life choices for being on a doo.. It looks like polaris really might be onto something here with this Axys.
Thank you for your time and in advance for the feedback.
