I highly doubt it. The factory turbo is not a high HP engine like a aftermarket kit.

Does doo not have the confidence in their own product to offer the same warranty as a 165hp NA sled??? Just wondering.

If the factory turbo is better than a aftermarket, than extend the warranty on the factory turbo.
I know guys who have 4+ years on properly maintained aftermarket turbo 800’s.

A 850 oil pump to replace out of warranty cause it’s leaking is a expensive repair bill.


Not everyone has the luxury of putting 1000km on a season, and these sleds are becoming quite an investment.

obviously not. I don't either.(have the same confidence) got 2 motors out of brp on my last sled with 3 year warranty. bet I could beat that on the turbo.

It is comparing a 2S to a 4S but you were wondering and It got me wondering as well.
Quick search I found this.

Re: 850 Turbo Q&A

Yes two year compared to the normal 4 year is just a easy way out for bro... Mostly I would think because they don't have two from no one else offering a turbo yet in that division with a better Warrenty.. Brp always seams to try in swing for the fence but just gets blunders over the short stop.. Aftermarket has done all there homework here and held there hand all the way..

there a business and don't want go one step farther than they have too..

Redline had there latest and greatest gt turbo on one last week from Garrett (makes enough to air for 620hp) and we had Doubble digest boost going threw it, we all were prepared for parts to scatter if internals could not hold up.. But it stayed together and he was over 90mph track speeds numerous times, this motor was quickly evident of withstanding big big hp.. But yet brp stays in dark, when video was shown on beach in Cancun, they were a smiling

Your right. That a possible option.

 

[maxwell]

Your right. That a possible option.

but i hear ya, 4 year warranty would certainly have alot more people conviced to buy, and like you said its factory horsepower so why not? we may never know, but im sure you will start to see the warranty duration creep up over the next coupple of years.

 

[Caper11]

what's that mean?

Use yamaha lube and filters follow the maint schedule and get that warranty

ya run that double digit boost for 10,000 km let me know how you make out lol. i cranked my 800 up to 12lbs once too. was sure fun, but not feasible for any duration of time.

to be honest, i dont know that i would ever want 7+ lbs of boost again. The way the factory turbo works for technical riding is like nothing else and suits me perfect. big boost doesn't shine in tight situations

on what sled, what's covered, what's not? not much info there. but they could have a million mile warranty on the sidewinder and I still wouldnt get one. I'm sure they'd last a long time though.

 

[jhurkot]

Cool, so when my fancy redline turbo blows up my $9000 engine where do I drop it off to be fixed for free? OH THATS RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!

Pretty neat deal, It shows that they have confidence in their engines. Turbocharged or not.

Sidewinder comes with a 100,000km on the engine.
