I have a hard time believing any manufacturer is doing well right now? How can they? Their supply is at massive lows. No one can get product.

Agree !! Nothing makes any sense .

175 turbo clutch kit review from GP

 

[Barry Barton]

I had my new 2021 850 Turbo Expert 165 out for the first ride of the season. We were in McBride November 28. Weather was bluebird, around -6 We got up to the cabin, the sled ran flawless on the trail and accelerated great. Lots of snap, clean crisp power. I got to the cabin and put the suspension on long just for fun factor. Went up over the top of small bell mountain to the meadows, the new snow was approximately 4' deep on a good base. The sled ran fairly well most of the time. When under more load found that there some bog issue and backfiring, thought this was due to heavy snow covering the vents. The majority of my day the sled ran flawless. I was already getting down on fuel so I dumped my fuel in, and thought lets try adjusting the clickers on the primary. So put those to 3, it ran like total crap then, The rev limiter was constantly being hit. So put it back to one. Where the tip of my wrench broke off, with only hand pressure, those are total junk. Buy the tool kit if you can find one, well worth the money, nice kit, high quality. This may have answered a bunch of my questions as I was over revving then letting off and bang, backfire. So I rode rest of the day hitting my throttle by constantly tapping it without a heavy hit, and it appeared to be good. I'm thinking that the clutch weights are a bit light and the motor is hitting rev limiter quite easily. Something probably very easy to fix. This sled was even more nimble than my previous G4 165, even easier to shoot around with the defiantly noticeable extra power at your thumb. It was quite surprising as i started to do a hard carve and just tapped the gas and the sled responded very fast. You will have a smile all day on these machines. Do have the large fuel caddy as they go through fuel, I rode the entire day 77.5 km, used my full fuel tank and 3/4 of the large fuel caddy. Not fun to get the spare belt into the holder. Found the tool kit at a smaller dealer north of Edmonton. I fueled up with 91 at Shell in Spruce Grove, on Century road, will try Petro Canada for next tank.

64% break in left

If you want to solve your problem talk to ken moutain magic he has a clutch set up for the t850 that really wakes the sled up.

For how much money??? Changing to a team secondary and a P85 is not economically viable for most.

Barry, I have Joeys kit that I will install after break-in. Ken does great work and is very knowledgeable but his set up is quite costly and most likely involves changing the clutches that's a bit rich for me. Already dished out enough for a sled not much left in the wallet. I'm going to put my faith in Joeys kit here as its basically under $450, and a few hours to install, and is getting great reviews.

Buddy of mine bought Joeys kit and loved it. His other buddy ran stock and complained all weekend so we ordered up 2 more kits and put in mine brand new
