After hearing about several guys in my area losing their motors around 1600+ miles of mountain riding. Wondering if there are any guys here pushing 3-5000 miles of riding on a original stock motor?
Need a lot more detail on 1600 mile sleds losing motors,make model motor?
Well this is the skidoo 850 forum.
So Im not talking about xm sleds. My xm had 1700 trouble free miles when i sold it. Had several riding friends lose their motors this month and in talking about it with others in the Truckee,Ca area there are several others who had a motor go bad at that mileage and now a new motor is being installed. I am on the fence about picking up a 2019 and adding a silber to it. That is the reason for my inquiry. Not trying to stir the pot.
Well, you didn't give any details, just a cryptic comment about motors going down...
Curious because we have tons of Doo riders around here, lots of new 850s running around. I haven't heard of, or seen one fail yet. Not many with those miles yet though, we only get 30-40 miles a ride. Only 17 I know of died on a rock this year, not due to miles...
Had rod bearing go out on my 17 850 last weekend. 1200 mountain miles. Another buddy had same thing weekend before with 1800 miles.
Sounds like it's worth redoing top end and bearings at 1200-1500 miles. That's what was recommended to me.
