2018 mxzx 850 from quebec as a temporary sled 8200 kms 2 linq bags roller wheels boot holders ice track 4850 not bad sent it in to the dealer for once over needed a center shock tender spring and retainer btw the shock was a piggy back as well one idler wheel which I put 500 kms on and new spark plugs 120 psi comp test each side new belt came with and installed . I asked what was used for carbides the doo mechanic said either woodys dually or qual -something that was common in quebec.Now ive owned 5 or 6 of these 850 sleds, have put split rail skis on 2 of them and the handling of this machine is by far the best tracking/handling rev sled ive owned.Maybe someone is familiar with this qual- something carbide from quebec

just to update our insurance guys on this site nailed the outcome as the sled was deemed a total write off surely the cheque is in the mail interesting note a polaris 850 boost short block was quoted 8500.00 can $ there was approx 6000 more in labour and other parts the kicker 7500.00 salvage price picked up a 850 skidoo intern and as it turns out its the best handling doo I have ever owned
-
congrats on the purchase having only a few hours on my matryx chassis made it one of my favorite handling sleds of all time .run the poo oil extreme as its made only for sleds in cold temps from what I understand .If an oil is marketed to many seasonal applications you gotta give up something

your pretty close to me stoney im in uxbridge.im loosing some 2 good riding buddies at the end of this year looking to tag in with some other guys who are flexible -
first many thanks to the oc and local gannons narrows guys who helped get me out of the muck . Sledding through what I thought was frozen weeds and mud crashed through the ice snowny terrain and landed into a 3 ft mud hole. It took 10 guys 4x4 s, canoes, dont ask 2x10s ,ropes,chains,ladders winches the whole rescue package but ambulances and police anyways and should point this out 2023 polaris 850 boost apparently according to the dealer has air intake flaps near the bottom exhaust that open up when full throttle is applied .When I felt the break thru I hammered the throttle but instead of action I heard and felt just about the worst feeling a sledder could have ,a gurgling stalled sled that was sinking fast with me on it. I jumped in up to my waist and climbed through the bull rushes and turned around to admire my handiwork in shock. The estimated cost to repair is 17 k plus new engine, clutch and so on about what its worth .The insurance company is going to cover the question would you keep this sled long term if they repair ? Is this a write off and they should just pay me out and part it out ?
