When I buy out of state, I just turn it into a riding trip. All the $$$$ you save ( which is usually a lot ) pays for the trip.
I was gonna ride FISHLAKE UT BUT was getting rained out the day I bought the sleds. Drove there and it was a pouring.

Omg I must have hit that button by accident. I live in Colorado and I’m calling Montrose tomorrow because of your post. Did you buy in March or April? Unfortunately ski do promotions are not as good in April and I was discouraged until I saw your post. It’s the exact opposite of “bad” feedback. It’s amazing news!!!! Thank youI just received "BAD" feedback about this post.
Let me know why this is a "BAD" post Msloweddie?

Just got off the phone with Ben. Great guy. Looks like I’ll be snow checking a 2019 850!
10320 out the door CEJD
OKAY ROYD .... why give negative "bad" feedback for this post?
Maybe he is mad that he paid a lot more for the same thing?
I keep reading about H U G E O I L consumption on 850's. Next year please keep us posted on consumption. 128 ounces in 1 gallon of oil.
Seemed high during breakin, but afterwards I would say 1 tank of oil per 2.5 tanks of gas maybe?I keep reading about H U G E O I L consumption on 850's. Next year please keep us posted on consumption. 128 ounces in 1 gallon of oil.

Problem is I have nothing to compare that to....which is huge. That's 25:1

I spent all my years riding Yamahas which burn NO OIL at all.
then got 3 850s.
So for me, this seems perfectly normal.
But it could be crazy high and I wouldn't know it from past experience.
Perhaps I get 3 tanks of gas to 1 tank of oil.
But more often than note I refill the oil tank every second or so fuel fill up.
But I have NEVER let it get all the way down before refilling it.
No offense meant in this Christopher, but as a Snowest moderator and all around enthusiast a little research would go a long way. Two stroke motors have been run on snow for as long as there has been the sport of snowmobiling, so its not like its super hard to figure out what is generally considered "common" or what others are burning on the Pol or Cat side.
Though there is a lot of evidence to support a motor runs well up to 20:1 (or even higher) the historical norm is somewhere 32:1-50:1. Oil injection was supposed to allow less oil burn as the oil was injected to the critical parts. Apparently not true with respect to the 850.
Either way I am running about the same oil burn as you, though I'm also running a turbo whereby we increase the oil pump's duty cycle (on purpose).
I'm fine burning oil if it means I keep the motor running a lot longer. That said, at $50/gallon, that's an extra what, $20 a ride?! Ouch!
