Sledguy74 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 After going back to a 2-stroke I would be looking at that 850 etec long before I ever considered another 4-stroke tankasaurus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRE242 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Probably a new 850 for this Doo faithful in 2018. Heard that even the Doo Guru Mr. Cudney is off the 1200 this year and running an 850. That should tell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'am all ready to order a 900 Turbo Doo at midnight. 154 hp and way lighter then the 1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you IQ once I see his site. BRP definitely sees the market is in the mountain segment. I was also really hoping for a 4 stroke turbo also but I won't jump ship. Still like the manuverability of the 2 stroke. Never owned a 4 stroke so I shouldn't have been negative to it's reliabilty. My 2015 is out of warranty Nov. 2017. So I will more than likely get the 850 with an extended full coverage warranty as long as BRP is offering it, it's a must with the 2 stroke. Fuel mileage has been great on this 800 etec and the 850 etec is suppose to be comparable. I'm not the heaviest guy and it has been great even close to the 600 etec. especially in those Northern Corridor trails. It doesn't work as hard to keep up to WD. My dealer in Barrie has been fantastic and reliable to me. So it's only BRP. Maybe a turbo 4 stroke when they start to take notice of us flatlanders again. Sorry for the verbal diarrhea, Jeff. Maybe ride with you and the Dutchman again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have a problem with it, but seems like that's their focus..for the record i am now debating a 850 also..id really hate to have to buy a t-cat or sidewinder.. id never hear the end of it from Canuck or sledjunk..

Sledguy74 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The optional remote coupler block adjuster seems like a cool idea as well. I wonder if it would freeze up easily. Saw it on this accessories video. Gotta give Doo some credit for some cool ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Ski Doo had a cool idea to make the secondary and jack shaft all one unit - [that was cool] Also deleting the recoil starter as standard equipment and charging extra for it as an option. [Now that was a cool idea] That's right up there like charging a dollar to use the washroom on airplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That thing will freeze up for sure or heg stuck half way. I'll give them credit they sure know how to put storage together on a sled. Compared to other brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IQ, both the guys I rode wirh on the big loop liked their Sidewinders. As WD said in a post they were comparable to his Switchback on fuel but my 800 etec was still a bit better. Still you have to take into consideration with me on the sled and my size the other 3 were weighing in more than me. The only negative comment from one of the Sidewinder guys "It's a great motor but it's a Yammi in a piece of crap AC chassis". Don't switch from BRP. Got to keep us Doo guys together. Will be at the show in Barrie on the Friday night maybe see you there when we're both buying our new 850's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the 850 is a trouble free motor. Wonder how they will hold up after some miles. I'am waiting to see if rockerdan is going to jump ship from his 1200 too. He wore out orginal 800 Etec in two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
