500 mile review of Polaris matryx slash 165

[jhurkot]

Have you insulated the tank from the tunnel? Heard a rumor one of causes is the fuel is getting too hot due to being mounted direct to the tunnel/cooler, causing the hose to collapse and cavitate the pump? had a buddie insulate his, and it seem to help? sounds like there lots of possible culprits and solutions?

Yeah I was looking at that. I think the entire bottom of the tank should have cork underneath it.

Also didn’t realize you had to remove the tank to change brake pads.

Wow really, that’s kind of gay just for brake pads

How sets of brake pads you guys changed out ?

Every 2000km. But I use the brakes a lot.

New fuel pump is in. Ripping tomorrow.

I know that Boost-It used to run an aftermarket fuel pump in their Polaris sleds. Maybe it would work. Some one on here probably knows what it was. Only problem is warranty. Might work until Polaris gets caught up with a fix.

First I've heard of that, every Polaris Boost-It sled I've seen had the factory fuel pump, mine is nearing 8000km and still the original factory pump. They cut out the factory fuel pressure regulator and fuel return and replaced with a rising rate regulator though.

I believe it depends on the kit and year of the sled. Some had fuel pump issues especially with the extra injectors.

I turned over 1500km on the weekend, fuel pump is noisy but no codes and sled works amazing.

Now you just need some clutching. Your sled seems to be low on RPM and has real bad fade.

 

[jhurkot]

Got a low fuel pressure code yesterday. Restarted and went away. Hope it lasts me until the end of the month.

 

[Got boost want snow]

I spoke to my dealer today sounds like Polaris has a fix coming but will not be avail till after the end of season.

Rode with a friend on the weekend who just got a matrix slash 155/ 2.75 and it rips. Polaris definitely has my attention.

If you’re selling your matryx don’t forget to factory reset the screen.

I think they are safe 90% of us couldn’t get to them with map anyway, talent required

 

[gedakbx]

Not even with Maxwells turbo doo or Ben’s boost

 

[dragonweld28]

Id give it an honest go... lol

A good sled wont get you any where Johnny goes without a good pilot.


Not saying you guys arent though good pilots though. Just sayin...
