I sure wouldnt want to turbo a polaris. your just asking for it to blow up!! maybe if you got to ride around the parking lot all day, but taking it up 25+km into the bowls is just asking for a tow home!!

believe it or not I rode with a guy from saskatchewan in revy this year that had a turbo poo and it actually worked really good. Even me as a hardcore yammy guy can admit that sled was rank. But apparently it only lasted 14 days of riding and it was pooched. but it was a rank machine till it blew apart.

If you guys actually got out of the parking lot more rather than sitting at home bashing other brands, you just might see more turbos that run fine. Just saying.......

how many days did you hit the mountains this year? I just hit 40 days of riding yesterday. they are out there but ones that really run good are few and far between and they dont last very long before there cooked. just sayin.

Great your one of the few. Been lots of posts dissin the Poo on here this winter by Poo owners. I love how Poo has one yr in the last 3 that they have put out a product that seems ok but longevity still hasn't been proven. Ride with Doo's 09's that have 4000km's on them with basic maint. Lets see if you can make the same statement 4 yrs from now, Doulbt it:beer::d

One of a few??? come on.. is this the only site that you check out and read for polaris sleds???

I do agree that polaris has had soem seriuos motor issues in the past.. but their 2011 800's are way better, with not even close to the problems.

i personally know of 2 other sleds that i have rode with that have well over 1400 miles on them and still not a problem.

now just go read over on snowest in the polaris pro ride forum.. u will find more ppl happy with their pros with no problems... infact here i will give u the thread on it (just one of them many)

Pro Issues - SnoWest Snowmobile Forum


now on to your skidoo comment. dad has a skidoo xp 09. that thing has been in the garage and apart more times the i care to count. for electrical problems, clutching, ect...

then lets talk about the 08 xp's with their crank issues. got a friend, who wont ever own another ski-doo after all the problems he has had.. that sled went thru 3 cranks this seasons. first one went at 1200 miles, the next 2 didnt even make 300 miles total. both cranks that he bought after were the factory upgraded cranks right from skidoo.



all manufactures and sleds have their problems. and they will all make u walk home if u ride them long enough.

My point is no longevity yet talk to me when your over 3000k. The 08 crank please dealer recall and I didn't wait for chit it was ready at my dealer when I got there. I have a buddy that is really happy with his Poo but like I said the km's aren't up high enough to make a call, Come on Kev ( HRT) still snow left lets put em to the test I'll even give you the 2 yrs newer advantage. For stock machines today the rider has in my mind 3 excellent choices Doo,Cat, and Poo you can't count Yammi's cause they need a turbo to compare to the afore mentioned 3. Out of the 3 Doo and Cat have a way better track record no pun intended than the Poo. If I'm spending over 10k I would be going with the least risk.JMHO:beer::d Oh yah forgot to mention in 08 Skidoo set the industry on its azz when they unveiled the XP chas

p.s I don't waste my time with a bunch of other sites, Tried a bunch and this one is the one I find to be the most resourceful and has the best peeps.

I like how when there are comparisons about longevity there are only 3 manufacturers doo, poo and cat. But talking longevity none even come close to the 4th manufacturer even when turboed they out live the others at by at least 3 times. JMO.

Ok you can put the stock Yammi in the mix for longevity but any of the other 3 will chew the pizz out of the stock Yammi. To make a Yammi work like the other 3 you have to spend 10k above your stock purchase price.:beer::d
