You can be 100% certain that guys are working these machines. This is the first “failure” I’ve heard of. For the amount of machines out there that’s impressive. Great news for the sport.

Perfect choice. They have been very successful at that over the years.

Is there any news on the Bikeman flash? Still in the R&D phase? Also the can or straight pipe that Jay was running in his video?

Can will probably void warranty and bikemans flash will be a output of 110hp total. Lol.

Lol.
More believable, so they were able to develop a tune and test it within days of the dealers that got their hands on them.
Not sure but that might affect warranty.....

Ken, that was our group at my house in Nelson. The Doo must have got scared the first day as it said "no-way" for the second day. Would idle but not move so was towed. Checked tether, etc. but nothing obvious.

did you check the throttle
Hi Maxwell, this was my buddies sled. we worked the throttle back and forth and it seemed fine. Had worked fine for the first 3 km's up the trail and then it just died and went into serious limp mode where it would run but not enough to engage... I was impressed when I rode it the first day but could certainly feel the extra weight compared to my N/A Expert with a light weight can on it. I found it not as nimble (could be how it was set up) but certainly pulled great when the turbo kicked in as we were riding around 6000-7000 feet! Guess it may be a trade off as to what is most important given the extra cost.

Yes, that falls in the "Obvious" list for us.

Maxwell, what Jim is saying here is "this sled would be good for the meadows and straight up climbs". I bet you like it?

Eh Freeeeeaaak where the TRIPLE dUDE ........................WHAT YOU SMOKING AGAIN ......?
It’s so good everyone in my group is probably gonna end up with 1!!!
I’ll never go back to non turbo gen4
It’s game over to any non turbo sled
No comparison!
Couple little notes/thoughts
Bars may be a little small for my large size hands
Running boards fixed!It’s so good everyone in my group is probably gonna end up with 1!!!I’ll never go back to non turbo gen4

Stiffer suspension than my 17X
I liked it!
Trail ride in no issue with overtemp
Clicker 1 8k -10k 8200 rpm max recall
Snow was so deep I never saw live tach on a pull, so will need weight added?
I can’t find a max rpm spec I assume 7900?
150 miles 40% break in runs flawless
Never thought I would care about electric start.. I will never have another sled without Shot!!
I made it all week without sore arms
It could have been from the over the hood snow.. Very easy to ride this sled hard! Because of the incredible track and ground speed you need to be paying attention!
Power delivery is smooth and predictable, linear! turbo is not overwhelming under full boost
But very noticeable! Combined with the amazing traction the Gen4 165 3” has
It just Pulls you on top of the snow where nonTurbo sleds we’re struggling in the super deep conditions.
Overall I’m very happy with this sled and decision! It was a little more than I wished to spend.. but after a week riding it I have no regrets!
I did get a 4year warranty @ the original
Sticker price.
Thank you Mike and Gerry @ Nielsons
I could easily climb over and down to help dig them out!
From another forum - pretty decent review.
I find it odd tho that a US dealer can give the buyer 4 year warranty, ask a Canadian dealer and the reply I get is “we don’t know yet”
