stoney Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 So I started my sled off from the start with with the ultimax belt vs the Doo belt, at first it rev’d to around 7900rpm but it never went much over 100mph…..but got there fast. Started to notice max rpm was now only 7600rpm and around 100mph was where it would get to and not go much further….hit a wall so to speak. Finally decided to put the Doo belt on but hadn’t got a chance to do any lake runs to see what the difference was, finally did today and sled rev’d to 7900 again but Speedo was now climbing past 100, I let off at 110 and returned to truck. I knew running the ultimax belt could use some clutch work to maximize its use, but didn’t think it would make that much of a difference.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always been a stock belt guy myself, but the aftermarket belt has so much good reviews figured something must be special about it other than the price….not the case. Maybe it excels with some clutch work too, but frankly I’ve done that in the past and not into those things anymore, just want to ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Anyone looking at possible changes/modifications to their 2022's for the upcoming season?

They should not be allowed to ship 2023 models with functioning DESS until they complete the 2022's they delivered incomplete. I understand they may but it's not right in my opinion. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% - I am not sure if the 2023's have it either actually, maybe someone with inside scoop can confirm, like @scottyr with close connection with his dealer.  I have read that the 2023's have the missing shocks that the 2022's are still doing without, or at least the shocks that the 2022's were supposed to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is being cheap, not willing to pay more than they have too to complete sleds already paid for and delivered, at the expense of clients?!?!  I know in my field and the various things the chips affect, the chip shortage is still there, but the parts are still coming, better now than before, just not back to pre-covid eta’s on those goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in 3 years or so, maybe they can start stomping out chips in North America again?  My daughter is loving this too, as the site is 6 miles from her house. A house that they have been intending to sell next year anyhow, and move back up here as their oldest will be starting skewl next fall. Their property value has already increased 65% she said, and what they have is just shy of a McMansion at that, so they will have a fair chunk of their new house paid for when they sell that one!  That girl is a worker, and a penny pincher. Believe me - she squeeks! But it doesn't hurt to be lucky too eh?   . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right and could see formula 3 or formula Z  or formula plus X  or even Mach 1  coming back for my 24. skidoo lineup don’t really excite me. Could see myself on poo 650 in near future. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info though.  If not Ill ride my 850 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
