Thanks for input I'm defiantly going with one. Little bummed doo won't let few sleds out to aftermarket guys so they can get their products out... All good though just sucks to tear it down in December when we been on it for a month... What hearing did you guys run? I think I'm gunna go to higher than stock w the 850 more track speed it's got tons of power like a big bore
Where did you get your info on "steel instead of cast" chaincase? About 95% sure the 850 chaincase is magnesium and very light.
I had a 2.42 gearset on my 14xm 154. It worked well and tom was great to deal with. Actual weight loss was a hair over 2lbs. Machine felt snappier with the belt. For my 850 with a 154 2.5 ill prob try a 2.33. Even if the exchange makes toms price a little higher than C3s he was very supportive and because of that I'd buy from him again

Tom at tki told me some steel components are being used compared to the demo sleds that where out before its actual release.......
Steel gears instead of cast/powder metal, or cast alum (yuck)?
Thats a worthy weight gain.
N
I'll take the tki over stock, money well spent, and w a can too possible to cut 15 lbs right away off sled.. Too bad she might get boosted

Even if it is steel, instead of cast, BRP said there is no weight gain from what was advertised. Ill definetly take a stronger steel over a lighter material for more strength.
N
Cast and steel way the same huh?
C
Brp's words, not mine.. Haha
case/cover aluminium...
gears/chain steel...
Tom will have pre production G4 kit at Hay Days...

I'm putting money down on a kit to get it asap
The info from the doo release. Chain case magnesium, don't know if that includes the cover. Anyone know the benefit of Mg over aluminum? Seems like all the manufacturers a are using Mg for chaincase these days. My guess is that Tom was referring to the "Bimetal" (aluminum and steel) bottom gear may or may not come on the production sleds.

Even the XP,XM,T3 chain case and covers were magnesium. Ski doo just made the G4 lighter. At least that was my understanding.

I'll call tom and ask him again we talk often bc he knows the ins and outs of what's wrong w sleds or not wrong. All I know is that the release model got changed from demo one and it's heavier

Magnesium is lighter than aluminum. That is the reason they went to Magnesium years ago.
they started out magnesium, went to aluminium, back to magnesium...
they played musical materials/suppliers over the years...BJ
