What are the biggest differences coming from a 2 stroke and going to a 4stroke?

You know when you're trying to sleep, but a mosquito is doing a fly-by next to your ear? Well that will still happen, but the annoying 2-stroke sound is gone.

xtx8550 - recommend you subscribe to this forum and subscribe to snowmobile publications (Snow Goer?) for the latest news and updates. Nobody can tell you that info w/o being in touch with the OEM, and any OEM insights will be addressed here first. ​

That is a loaded question.

If you ride tight, twisty, pounded out trails, you will probably miss the 2 stroke. You will be a little more tired at the end of the day.

If you ride big, wide, flat trails, you will love the turbo.

When starting out for the day, let the 4 stroke idle until fully warm (195*F) before shutting it off. You will foul your plugs if you start it up and shut it down soon after.

You won't add oil at every gas fill-up, you will change your engine oil once per season.

With a four stroke, you won't have to rebuild your engine after 5000 miles.

It depends on where you ride and what type of riding do you do. I prefer the 4 stroke but I ride groomed trails, some woods, and lakes. If I was riding in rough stuff or side hilling as the main type of riding, a two stroke would be preferred. Of course power steering on my Tcat negates some of the weight issues but I dont see myself side hilling with it. LOL

the biggest difference will be learning to roll into and out of the throttle. all the ones i have driven prefer that other wise sled does not like it.

if you rode triples, its the midrange pull
if you rode triples its the relization that you carry a lot more momentum.

Your clothes will not stink like 2 stroke oil and less likely to break down!!
