165 Alpha gets weighed

[Caper11]

Couple more months and we all will know the truth of the 2019 models reliability and performance.

they had like 3 on the snow last year. there will not be any issues

Right. And the dozens of ‘17 doos on the snow in ‘16 also yielded a flawless first year too.

IMO a first year will always have issues. Difference is how the manufacturer addresses them and supports its customers.

OK. This thread is over. Weight means nothing. Skeedue is still the best The end. MAXWELL has spoken.

Sometimes I think oh man maxwell is such a troll but then I remember he believes what he post lol. Nice to see true weights.

The most impressive thing is only 3# more for a 174 850 to the 163

Don’t forget that 163 had accessories added to it. Skid plate and a aftermarket bumper, its still impressive.

Just curious how much fuel or oil each sled holds?

The doo has the smallest tank, 36l.
Cat is 43.9l
Polaris is 43.1l


Doo redesigned the the G4 fuel tank cause there was 4l in the xm tank that was unusable. I also verified this info today on the G4’s fuel tank.

I always wondered what they meant by this. If you rode until it quit and turned it upside down you could pour several litres of unreachable fuel? Or they were discounting the big air trap at the back most people know to burp?

did anyone weight this sled, i have heard that top speeds in excess of 100mph, were not uncommon, bestest sled ever, in the hands of the right rider. no need to argue, it has already been done.

I think a wedge would kick it's ass ,but let's not get off topic here.This thread is about how amazing the skidoo 850 is.

A phazer?? No chance that would do 100mph it was a fan cooled. The exciter was a liquid cooled.

I’m pretty sure that Joey had a phazer that could easily hit 100mph.

If I remember right it had something to do with the location of the fuel pickup.

my 1992 phaser 2 with 136 track and 1 5/8” paddles would only do 140 km/h. And it weighed the same as Chriscos 174 3”. Yes I weighed sleds way back then too. You think the sidewinder is heavy, should have owned a vmax4.

le sigh. it was a Joey reference.

Maybe if it had work done to it or it was going downhill.

Whats that mean???

Whats that mean???

Way too long a story to tell as he checks in every year and the saga continues.
Cliffs:
young kid thought his dad was superman and had sickest sled ever and bragged it all up but was obvious BS.
