Lighteweight triple e-tec.
I miss the 3 cylinder days. This would be so cool if they actually did it. And pulled it off and made a rockin mountain sled. Come on Ski-doo let's get those Rotax studs to make some magic!

I think one possibility is we will see a new crankshaft/bottom end design like what the 2012 600rs got. This crank design promotes better crank case flow and made a 6hp gain.I read about a crank shaft mod in a 2007 snowtech mag in which directional holes were drilled into the faces of the crankshaft counter weights to pull more air through the engine. I suspect it was a similar design that went into the 2012 600rs motor. It would not surprise me to se a similar design go into the 800etech.if this were true this would bring the 800 etech into the 172 hp region.
Maybe because the snow sucks. All that record snowfall we got in December has gone to sh*t. It's rotten, sugary and coated with a nice Whoar Frost layer, so anything significant in snowfall will create an avy danger warning so bad all people will be able to do is meadow mash and flatland it. We had a 6' base New Years weekend and now we have a 41" base.
Didn't give the season much of a chance if he already sold a new sled. Some people must have a lot more money then me to buy a sled and own it for a month or 2 and sell.

I would seriously consider switching from my Pro back to Skidoo and get an XM if they narrowed up the side panels, got rid of the rear torsion springs and put some decent shocks on it (the pro shocks suck too but at least they don't have torsion springs in the skid still). I would also like to see a different steering set up and a significant weight loss.
I don't expect they will change anything with the motor, it already is pretty solid. I wish I had the etec in my Pro.

BRP historically only runs a engine for 4-5 seasons and then makes changes.the etech800 was released in 2010. We're on the 4th season?

I think brp has only one place to go with the motor and thats factory turbo as for the rest of the chassis maybe belt drive and a 174 option. the sled feels light enough, i dont want something that will fold on the eough trails
with all the problems poo is having with the belt drive i'd rather stick with the chaincase. last thing i need is another $180 belt to buy!!!
T
I got lots of kms on my c3 belt drive no probs, with the advanrage of being able to change a belt on the hill in less than five min and the spare belt only weighing a few ounces . Poos prob is they dont have a tensioner in theres and the fact that they cant tie there shoes right
R
I want a factory 860 with an honest 170hp and warranty! (then the weight issue is void and I have a sled that will hold together)
When I looked at thge XM SP I was going to buy, I hated that seat with a passion. Ugly as hel. Was going to put a BOSS on mine when I got the sled, then I test rode a demo. The seat is ugly for a reason! That seat is PERFECT for putting a knee on during maneuvers in that your foot/toe hooks over the back perfectly and helps lock you into the sled. (So don't change that, lol.)

I doubt the torsion springs go away any time soon. They are required to make the T-Motion function properly.
Bingo. Doo doesn't really need to do anything next year besides continue to refine/lighten this chassis. Maybe new clutches.... :face-icon-small-win

Does anyone think that doo might put a blower on their 600 ACE engine for a lighter weight super efficient 4 stroke summit? Just some food for thought.

Kmod should be able to figure it out
lolI'm back Jan 25th. You guys gonna be good to ride after that?! I've got this new sweet, light, capable, non boosted sled you need to see LMAO! I guess my valves needed to be adjusted on my M1100. Once they heated up they wouldn't seal correctly and that was causing the power loss.
Finally someone mentioned the clutches, well at least the primary has to go and the secondary should float. I am expecting the 6 arm clutch to get the dampener so it will go right on to the 2 strokes.

You bet! I got 2.5 weeks off starting on the 31st. We will have to make some plans.
