I have a 19 154 2.5 summit. My question is when I let off the throttle it feels almost like engine brake. But I know it's not. Just wondering why it does not roll after letting off throttle. Almost seems like track is too tight or the clutch is back shifting. Not sure if this is Normal for ski doo. Thank you

The effect is caused by the clutches. Since the roller secondary, skidoo’s have done this. Super sweet for going down steep mountainsides. Once you get used to it you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.

Polaris and Cat will do it also, just not as noticeable, can be made more so.

Wouldn't hurt to check that tension. Dealers like to crank em pretty tight, figuring the average customer's gonna ride it and forget about all that maintenance jazz

Track tension is super tight this year out of the box. I set mine up from the crate, they have been right on for years, but this year both my sleds were stupid tight. Noise from them and excessive braking.
