Any "First Ride" reports for a 2012 Summit E-tec?

[Teth-Air]

Waiting to hear how the 2012's are going to work with their new clutching, gearing, jackshaft length,cylinder ports and I expect some ECM changes??

You can even tell us how that funny looking belt gaurd is working.

Please post your info here.

Chris, when I get my sled I'll give you a full report after the first ride or two. I'm the last spring order to arrive at the dealer and my sled is still in Quebec!

Go figure......."early delivery guarantee" likely to kick in!

hmmm mines been sittin at the dealer for awhile, even trying to decide if its getting any goodies I previously hadn't considered.

These 2012's are going to impress I think.....oh and you missed one of the big changes on the motor...pretty interesting stuff.

And what is the big change in the engine are you referring to? The new pistons?

 

[takethebounce]

oh okay, maybe not a big change...a minor change, that could lead to bigger results. And, not pistons.

I can't figure out why the updated parts are half the price of the same item for the 2011. hmm.

I have a buddy that lives in stewart ,he rode yesterday he said his 2012 800 e-tec 163 worked awsome, loves the track clicker#1 7900rpm.FYI He said 8 feet at the cabin. Average track speed was 42-45mph bottomless powder.sleds only got 40km on it still not broke in .No funny bergles or popping like his buddies 2011 had.

It should get yet! Don't they have a chip or something in them to hold them back until it has a certain amount of hours?

No only the Polaris has the chip that never burns out.

you guys are going to be thrilled with these new sleds. had 3 out today. yeeehaw.

 

[kellyandhislimo]

my sled performed amazingly yesterday at quartz. I was amazed with the throttle response and the narrow ski stance. overall pretty happy I bought a new one. There is no "chip" on these as far as I understand. The computer is derating its self a bit and adding extra oil and fuel until it is broke in. I've heard lots of rumors on how it works and have heard 3 tanks of fuel before its broke in, also head 20hrs, also 200 miles, also 150 miles, ETC... They say when it is done its break in period this thing will wake up and suprise the heck out of a guy and be better on fuel and oil.

So the new clutching works pretty good, how does the sleds engine feel over the 2011?

 

[maxwell]

like it has an extra 10hp. could also be due to the excellent hookup with the new track. no misses or burbles on the 2 we rode today.

 

[Caper11]

these sleds you rode did they have the stock gearing in them? I was wondering about that low gearing, and that clutch setup.
Any in your group with a 3 inch?

 

[maxwell]

2 were stock and the one i was riding ws a 3 inch. works awezome but its rubbing a bit need to fix that

 

[Foxstar45]

Rubbing how, and how will you fix it? alignment?

 

[Foxstar45]

What did the 3'' have for gearing?

 

[polarisdragon800]

Bringing Polaris into a Doo thread? Really buddy? Just can't get them polaris's of your mind eh? Afraid there gonna show the Doo who's boss? Just ride... Lol
