Why DOO SKI-DOO motors blow up at such a low mileage?

[Longhairfreak]

Just curious.

Don’t stir up the brothers now bud.

 

[Dawizman]

Doo they fail sooner than others?

 

[Longhairfreak]

Way sooner.

Which motor are you talking about? I'd argue the 800 etec is one of the most reliable 2-stroke sled engines ever built, IMO though the 850 doesn't come close to that reputation.

I agree with you there. 800 etec is pretty bulletproof. Hard to find a used 850 without a new motor

Some of the guys I ride with suffer from a disorder that leads them to believe skidoo is a brand worth riding. Some very nice days have been ruined towing the Doo 850's out to the trucks.

We've never towed an 800etec home with a motor failure.

I have yet to loose a motor on any etec since 2012, the 800s sure were good, currently have 5 etecs 800-850s most miled one is 4000 miles 2014 800xm, buddy lost a rod and punched a hole through his case on his 2019 850 3000 miles was just leak down tested before the trip, ive heard of a few guys loosing top ends, first to hear of any one adding a inspection hole in the side of the motor. I have personally lost more mountain days on my 17 850 then any other sled ive owned but my 2020 has beeb flawless so far

I have suffered on the 800s as well as the 850s. The 800s lasted way longer though. I had 5000 miles on both of mine before they blew up. But the 850s only make 3000-3500 Kms before they get flown/pulled down. Be a cold day in hell I’m riding another 850 with over 3500 Kms without warranty.

Way sooner.

What are we comparing them too a honda civic?

Cause my friends Cats & Polaris's blow up on the regular

 

[gedakbx]

For the price of sleds these days they should have 5 year/ 10000km warranty at least

 

[Caper11]

I didn’t know that doo released a motor, are they a issue? I’d like to see a doo motor.

 

[fynnigan]

Just curious if you have been to the mountains in the last decade?

 

[Caper11]

The only new motor that I have seen is from Tiaga.
