04 800x 151 well after 5360 give or take a couple miles she's done! lower pto rod bearing, also pto ring locator is now in the top of the piston? ha ha! rings flaked at 1100 or before?replaced by dealer! amsoil hp from day 1 ! all i can say is thank you ski-doo for a great sled! time to see big john for a 840! you can't put a price on FUN!!!!!!!!! chuck
Who all have had their 800 blow?
- Thread starter high time
- Start date
Just seemed to me you were intentionally messing with people. It worked
WoW 9 pages so far
Why do we buy doos again?
05 800 - crank bearing 2500mi.....1st ride after I bought it!!!

Considering Doo out sells CAT 10 to 1. The ratio of blown engines is exactly the same if you ride a cat or a doo.
Dumb thread.
My 05 summit squeeked after 500 miles-carb boot crack
Then my 08 xp top end went at 1700 miles-cause not yet determined
Good thing it gave up the ghost at the end of this season or I'd by crying like the rest of the x-pee owners who have issues with BRP.
First year glitches in order of occurance:
problem- solution-
belt exploded through side panel dealer may replace sp - good chance
2 belts(166) 20/49 gearing, 1/8th 2ndary shim, 377
right handwarmer element failure -put on fly bars with better heating elements
(update replacements get very hot as well)
rear torsion springs bottoming out(set max) - Put in delron inserts. These help
keep springs at correct position.
- stiffer springs hinder ability to
get on top of powder (transfer)
This works = no bottoming
Intake problems (aka deep powder bog) - Cone filters=fair, velcroed teflon
mesh or older rev intake foam over
existing screen=good, secondary 3"
tubing between headlights through
top of dash w slp=best setup
clutching off (high engagement @5k rpm, - 2mm over rollers(+5g) with
trouble holding rpms above 8000 in long climbs) skidoo hollow pins(15g)
and 413 to 415 ramp change
magnetic reset button delamination, - different glue-needs redesign
random trip meter computer reset when starting no solution-software glitch
rear grab bar failure (bends, shatters, breaks) old rev grab bar bolts up
BRP did a great job saving weight with 4 new holes drilled
oil injection cable adjustment off reset to 28 mm as advised
(2-3 quarts of oil for 10.5 gal of gas) Considering premixing with
oil res and pump removed
throttle/injector cable setup inefficient(sticks) buy 2010 950 etec (170hp)
or use Arctic Cat 440 cable
deep snow hillclimbing track speed 37-42mph - Install Aero 66 and @15 psi
getting 75-80mph track spd
in steep and deep

why do we buy doo's ..let me count the ways
I can't believe this is even a subject ?? He's reading about doo failures and wonders why we buy them ? ok Doo is 90% of the sleds on the hills yet only has 25% of the failures. Doooo the math. I bought a new YAMMI ( reliable ) only to spend the next 4 months being lied to and not riding the best powder seen in ten years. I bought a used Doo 06 and had the most fun i have had in 20 years and when it broke ( motor ) i was back on the trail in 6 days ................ YAMMI couldnt fix a plugged line in ten days...... I buy DOO cause my dealer cares if im riding or not..

Hey now don't be talking about fun. This thread was started by a Cat guy to try to bash anything other than what he ride. Let's not bring up the F word. Just post and move along. These guys must all be driving Volvo station wagons because they are so safe.
Oh yeah; with my three 800's so far I had a can mounting bracket break. I know it's not technicaly part of the engine but I just want to be one of the guys and post my complaint. No then again, I'm sorry that was on my 700. Crap now I don't have anything constuctive to add to this informative thread to edify the brethren............ Nevermind

i have a question: if lets say a 06 Doo 800 (non R) engine piles up...does Doo replace it with a same engine...or does it get a newer R engine???
you'd still get the HO motor heck you can still get a 94 670 motor if you want to
07 Summit XRS Engine #3 went today. 320 miles. Crankshaft on all three. Its starting to get old, but it runs so good when it runs.
another year warranty for you
Lets see I wonder how many small block Chevy's blow on dirt tracks around the midwest compared to Ford and Chrysler ? Probably 10 to 1, but there are probably 1000 Chevy's running for every Ford and Chrysler so does that make the small block Chev a POS ???
Kaboom
What was probabably going to be one of the last rides of the seasom my XP blows on the Pemberton Icecap. With the trail being pretty rough now and creeks open it looks like a heli ride out. It seems like the ring must of spun and caught one of the ports. It turns easy 1/2 a turn then stops. I have about 6500KM on it and was hoping that it was actually going to go the whole season. If BRP would do a piston change at 4000KM under warranty it sure would be cheaper for them than waiting for the motor to blow. Anyway except for the heli ride I would rather have it go now than in December when the dealer doesn't even have time to scratch his b@lls.

So I guess our normal sunday whistler ride with Ray is out
Should be flying it out this afternoon. Still have 2 backup sleds if you want to come up. For once the Globalstar actually worked. I had summitseeker double me around all day and pull my sled to the creek crossings.

Mine let loose around 4600km, boen stock 07 XRS 159, mag. side main bearing and seal went out and causes mag. cyl. to run lean, burnt up the piston, broke the rod and aluminium went everywhere. long block on the way.
even so i wouldn't ride anything else but a doo.

Congratulations, you have just won the worst Kaboom of the year. Boy that is bad, got to love warranty.
