Ok fellas, I rented two bikes this last weekend to give it a try and seem to be hooked. I'm going to pick up a bike this week. The rentals I tried were a 2016 yz450fx with 2016 yeti 129 and a ktm 500xcw with timbersled st. Both were running Yeti skis. In the end both of these machines were very...
I consider myself a fairly capable rider that can usually hang with anybody on the hill but my first day on the g4 I looked and definately felt like a bit of a jack ass. It definately took until about the middle of the second day to really feel it out and back offf the effort I was putting in. I...
I've had 2 warrantied, dealer just needed sled to view run history. Some peeps were a little pissed that they needed to bring sled in to get warranty on belts. I realize its a bit of a pain in the azz but I dont really blame BRP for asking for this. If a guy is out for 3 days not watching his...
My home town cat dealer told me they will be keeping cc's at 800 and looking to bump 15 to 20 hp. Cat race department is pretty involved in the drag racing and would be closing quite a few doors on championships in the stock 800, modified 800 ect classes if their flagship motor was bigger. I'm...
Ordered 4 of these from Ray last week. Simple and easy with same day shipping. Our group currently run the 5W Rhino 650s that work good but the range on these is awesome!
Ahhhh.... Did my thread get the little bitch all rattled? You want a survey? As easy as that would be to put together, you couldn't even follow the minimal task of what was asked on this thread so I'm afraid you might be lost in that process as well. HAHAHA It's alright little fella;). You just...
Really??? I simply told you why the comment was made. I don't care how you ride, in fact would prefer have all sorts of riding styles polled as it may be helpful finding the cause of these issues. I started this thread and have been tracking totals to get the true reality of the situation...
I believe this is probably why the comment was made, but yes.......... stats only please. Iknew keeping this thread on track was impossible hahaha
"This sled is a beauty. Gentle kms with not a lot of WOT. Very clean and well maintained. Never smashed nor damaged. Stored inside in a heated...
Stats based on individual owner experience only. If we want this to have any clout or muscle with BRP we have to eliminate all the usual banter like "I know a guy that... I heard that.... plus how many km on each separate sled ect.
29 sleds polled now and you are the only 2.5". I assumed 165x3" for a couple as guys didn't specify. 6 154s in total and 3 are belt eaters. Looks like 154x3" may be the worst on paper but this is probably just from being wot more because of less track.
Sorry.... slight error in last post, wont let me edit for some reason
9/27 have blown 1 or more belts(33.3% have belt issues)
10,508km logged on all 27 sleds
17 belts blown in total(618km average belt life)
4,280km logged on the 9 problematic sleds(251km average belt life on problematic sleds)
Stat update..... 27 sleds polled
9/27 have blown 1 or more belts(33.3% have belt issues)
10,508km logged on all 27 sleds
17 belts blown in total(389km average belt life)
4,280km logged on the 9 problematic sleds(251km average belt life on problematic sleds)
I'm not reading through 30 pages of bitching to populate these stats. I feel your pain as I got one of these bastards too but keep this to stats and rant on the belt issue thread. A few pages of legitimate stats will have more power showing BRP the issues than 30 pages of opinions.
If guys...
No, 4 out of 18 had 1 or more belts blow. The rest are on original belts. 22% of the sleds have had a belt issue but the ones that have had issues are eating more than one in most cases.
