Back to the topic at hand, this is a weird compression test, this is pto side.

 

[iceman5689]

Little low? Not sure what factory compression is on 850 but 145psi sounds about right??

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but take into account that once a dealer plugs into your sled on BUDS you are on borrowed time for any warranty work down the road if someone at BRP chooses to look at any BUDS files on your serial number. They killed the warranty on a customer's sled of ours that had ran a turbo and then removed it after his motor blew and they had looked at his BUDS history report. They saw the air intake numbers were through the roof and immediately killed all his extended warranty even after we offered to send them pics of the sled in the shop. Just a heads up guys for your information.

Good for BRP, why should they warranty a sled that has been turbo'd. You can't have it both ways.

Way to Low but need both sides checked to se if with in 5 psi.
Gauge could be off ?

A sled that's been boosted can't have a failure, unrelated to the boost?

So after much swearing I got the gauge in on the mag side, really not good. Am I missing something, is there something special a guy needs to do to get a comp test on these 850’s? Not sure how these fancy new electronically operated exhaust valves work, could they maybe be fkn up? I’m so confused, the plug on the mag side didn’t look that bad at all, no sign of alum residue on either side. I really miss my xm now lol.

Not to be an ass, or suggest you don't know how to do a compression test, but what is your procedure ? How many pulls, open throttle or closed ?

It’s been probly 20 Years so who knows, 3 pulls, and a fourth to make sure it got as hi as it was going to go, no throttle. Last one I did was on my ‘97 ultra 680 lol

 

[LUCKY 7]

So Im not a mechanic and might be missing something but would you not just take this sled back to the dealer that sold it to you and let him figure it out? That's what I would be doing if and when my new axys gives me any grief what so ever.

 

[Big A]

Your absolutely rite, that’s what a guy should do, and I have a very good relationship with my dealer but what’s the fun in that lol. I’m the kinda guy that would rather fix it at home if it’s something simple, dealers got enough **** to deal with. but by the looks of this, it’s not a simple fix ?

make sure you're holding the throttle wide open too

 

[fredw]

If that's pto pressure and your gauge is correct and you did enough pulls to not increase anymore, you have a stuck ring similar to my ne my Freind, I had 145 psi on good side, 20psi on pto

take a pressure from other side to confirm, raves and reeds will do nothing for lack of compression..

I know they say to open Throttle to get more air in but it only every gained me max 10psi from past experience, is there something about these newer motors that makes the throttle being open more important? Neither cylinder to me had enough compression to make the throttle thing have any real effect. It’s loaded up now to head to Redline in the am anyways.

Sure, now prove it to BRP. Like I said you can't have it both ways, if you can afford a turbo then you can afford no warranty.

Sounds like a case of turbo envy.

That’s a bold statement fella, you’re saying that because a guy works his ass off to to be able to afford the toys he wants and the mods he wants, the manufacturer should turn their backs on them? I spent the same amount of money at the dealer on my sled and accessories as the next guy, I agree that there might be situations where accessories are the direct cause of failure and manufacturers should have the rite to refuse repairs in said situations, but those are few and far between.

No worries my ass..
