I just heard this morning!!!!
Tearing up now!
I met him at Hayday's & have talked to him regularly since them
I know he came to the Dark Side with Doo, but he was Blue right to the core
He offered his house to me many times if I ever came out that way
I'm at a loss for words right now
My local dealer was up in the factory last fall for training on the 858.
He said there was 3 engines in the dyne room that was NOT being talked about, but he's no dummy.
He saw a Turbo 2-Stroke
A 2 cylinder 4-stroke
And a Turbo 4-stroke which he thought was a 3 cylinder.
They were just walking...
Guys like KNAAP are the experts here so I'm just an innocent bystander.
But let's slow down a notch.
This looks like a stock '17 BTX that he re-geared & added a Purple spring that he runs at 9200 rpm's MOST of the time cuz that's what powder guys do.
He set offset to 59.
Put on AC rollers...
I have a bunch of clutch parts from my Sidewinders I can send you including Helix's, Thunder Springs, Dalton weights, stock springs, rollers.
Let me go look & I'll PM you.
I don't need them.
Dirt cheap!!!
Heck I have whole clutches somewhere in my attic.
We've been saying it since 2017 that there are "issues" that NEED to be addressed to make this sled "trouble free"
By now there's enough smart people with the fixes that aren't that bad if done
SOOOO many people in DENIAL come on this site & say we are only the complainers or we "ride too hard"...
Don, What the HELL is that........besides AWSOME
Mono-shock suspension?
The chassis looks like a Procross
The seat is some sort of ApexWinder Frankenstein combo thingy
Do NOT forget the TSUNAMI in 2011
That changed everything for Japan including Yamaha
They had to pull together to rebuild
A few thousand whiny Americans was LOW on the list of chit to be taken care of
I think initially they thought it was temporary
Then they realized they could sell motors which...
I remember when my bud "acquired" his Grand Ma's 1971ish 433 Yamaha in early 80's.
He sank it in the local pond in 10 feet of water.
Took us whole day to get to it in 3 feet of snow then another day to get it out.
We drained it & rebuilt it.
One of them prettiest sleds I've ever seen.
THAT was...
It's a small factor.
MOST know NOTHING about it
The Polaris just flat out handles
AGAIN.....I don't want one, but I acknowledge who's who & what's what
I need to disagree with the comment "Polaris Failures".
They have put a HUGE dent into Doo sales.
I think I saw more newer Polaris' this year overall than all others combined so they are doing something right.
I still say "out of the box", meaning take it out the door adjust for your weight &...
NOW DON't FORGET, this is NOT a Mach & I think the clutching they installed cuz of Launch hurt those sleds
ALSO, the 900R's have some inconsistent top end results.
I feel Doo pulls power to be safe, maybe TOO safe if there is such a thing.
I notice it a lot on top, but never bottom or mid
DON't...
This was NOT a one off lucky run.
I've been saying this for 2 years even stock, I've NEVER been beat by ANY stocker to 100
Even roll ons when I had stock clutch................same results
My sled is not slow, but a good Winder will pass it on top
SOOOOO Sidewinder is FASTER
