What would you like to see for future improvement in the Ski-Doo mountain lineup?
- Thread starter Dworek
- Start date
Assuming, i have all summer to knock this list off. There was no time frame listed in post.
For me:
1. A cover available for the machine that lasts more than one trip on the sled deck (seriously - they are ****ing JUNK and I'm SICK of replacing them)
2. No 2 piece driveshaft
3. Proper chain/gears
4. Factory clutching that keeps the sled off the rev limiter
5. Shocks that don't need to be run with the springs maxed out - and bring back the adjustment the clickers had before!
6. Better extrovert drivers that don't require banjo-string-tight track tension to keep from ratcheting
7. Deep snow grips on deep snow models - from the factory!

I travel at least 1000 miles each way to get to the snow and use a sled deck exclusively. Every cover I've purchased (5 of them) since 2014 has died an untimely death. The front of them seems to hold up now, but the G4/5 covers destroy themselves at the rear, EVERY. SINGLE, TIME. It's incredibly frustrating.
For comparison, my Polaris friends are using the same cover for multiple YEARS with the same commute and truck/sled deck setup.

I place a movers blanket folded up over the seat, it helps to take the slack out of the cover on the rear. ( how about those metal clips on the cover , those are awesome!!!! not!)
They would be much better of to make it easier to get the secondary clutch off , a splined qrs so shaft can stay in sled , a belt drive would be nice I’ve have very good success with the ones I’ve owned. G5 is great 850R is 
going to be something good to trump it .

Besides Polaris' (trail tech) tracking and garmin buddy tracking (not allowed in Canada and the UK) what other tech is out there brp can source? Something about the radio frequency is not allowed here in Canada.
I think Doo should just fork out the money to Polaris IF they would sell the trail tech buddy tracking.
Surely BRP has the technology to do this from their own parent corp if need be.
The factory equivalent of the Ice Age or ZRP spindle design on all BRP sleds
Get rid of the stupid POS BRP Go app and useless gauge and partner with Garmin and copy the Cat design and be done with it
Cut 30 lbs off each sled across the BRP mountain sled range …. Make them lighter
More Power

- a tunnel that doesn't hold 20lbs of ice
- a seat that doesn't soak up water and freeze into a brick
- toss that whole fixed sheave, 2 roller dud of a secondary in the trash
- better cooling for the trail
- ski rubbers that work and last
- an engine compartment that doesn't get coated in rusty fibreglass
- steering boots that don't need continuous repair
- headlights and gauges that stay moisture free
- dedicated electrical connections for the grip heaters

Like to see storage on sled included. Having to buy the trunk to replace that stupid belt holder is annoying.
Sometimes I have this 12 mile trip across the very middle of a lake. We've gone at -20 because there will be nobody out there. That trip across the lake can be so cold, there are guys who turn around. Its just wind non stop, no mercy and rock hard snow drifts. But....ya get get into the river system on the other side and you can hear the angels singing...
I need a medium windshield for a G5 summit, dagnabbit.
Lâchez-vous et faites un pare-brise s'il vous plaît

My G4 has a medium windshield. I'll pull it off and put it with the gas cans stowed behind a tree. We'll go in and ride, then on the way out, put the w/shield back on, head back to the hauler.
There ya go!
I'd leave it on your sled that way nobody has to look at your storage apartment
