If its a p1202 that is a oil switch sensor. it literally has nothing to do with oil pressure. That switch/sensor is a tattle tale sensor that just makes sure the tops switch is functioning correctly. it reads blow by pressure/ crank case pressure. They go bad frequently.
2 weekends of riding under my belt and that’s it. There’s been no snow this winter… I have some videos to post but debating keeping them for early next season. Worst winter I can remember in years
I agree with you about polaris. I have owned other company brand sleds and my opinion is polaris are going to be at the top and get customers on them then Ski-Doo. For instance I saw three months ago a group of people on sleds and the they all had polaris sleds except 3 of them had Ski-Doo and I think polaris is going to be a very popular sled out there so I give polaris the thumbs up 👍 and very excited because I'm getting my own 2020 Polaris 800 and I'll be doing RU-vid videos on my sled as well
Good day I just run across your RU-vid channel I like to get an honest opinion which one is better on fuel and oil the Polaris 850 or the Bombardier 850
Thanks for checking out the channel! The gas mileage is basically the same. The doo has a slightly smaller tank so if range is your goal the Polaris can go a little further. During break in they are pretty similar on oil mileage. After the Polaris has been better in my experience. The Polaris 850 is a little more finicky I will say. You have to make sure to let it fully warm up after you start it so you don’t foul plugs and cold seems to effect it a bit more than the 850 etec
$20,000 spent... I opt for Ski-Doo... better product... more reliable and better quality... Polaris puts a lot of money into advertising to say that they are the best... and this This is not the case...stop being fooled!
My wife bought me a seat heater for sled. I took cover off, installed without any issues... so instead of 700 for heated seat it cost 45 bucks.. works well. Just an fyi for everyone.... very easy to do....
So I'm looking in2 getting a new sled and have always riden arctic cat but the old style my last sled was a 99 thundercat sold it a couple of years ago been lookingbat the 2024 riot but am Def not brand locked on my decision what do you think is the best all around sled in the 800 class for comfort reliability and handling?
This is not intended to be a dig at cat and I know some people would disagree but the 800 ctec is an underwhelming 800 class engine in my opinion. I’ve had 800 liberties, 850 patriots, 850 etecs, and now a boost and honestly the power of the 800 ctec never wowed me. If you’re not concerned with power I’d say the procross sleds are a great option for comfort handling and reliability. I’d probably go with a 137 over a riot (slightly better on trails manners and the riot is not a very playful crossover sled anyway) but that being said the riot is one of the best handling crossovers on-trail that I have ridden. I’d only recommend a 137 because they’re a little more glued to the snow and have less inside ski lift. I saw your other comment as well and based off having had the riot for 4 years I’ve often thought about trading it for a thundercat so personally I would go that route. In my opinion these are the best sleds in each category Crossover - 850 Assault Big bump sled - Lynx rave RE Groomed (smaller bump) trail shredder - doo XRS 850 Lake racer/long ride sled - thundercat (or even SRX but the clutching and track options on the thundercat are slightly better IMO)
@@Revrider550 wow thanks for that reply I have commented on many vids and never gotten even a small reply. I’m on my way to check out the thundercat there’s one only 1/2 an hour from me in barnstead went and looked at it the other day, but they were closed. I could see it through the window then I’m gonna head to Laconia to the Polaris dealer and check out their sleds as well they also carry Yamaha. I did notice a big difference when you were on the riot in the powder and then yours on the powder yours the skis were right on top definitely seemed to be a big difference between the two sleds. I’m 55 and unfortunately a little on the heavy side I won’t be going off trail and will do a lot of lake riding if the lake ever freezes it’s January 17th and lake winnipesaukee hasn’t even fully caught yet half the lake hasn’t frozen..will be interesting to sit on these sleds for I have never riden the rider forward sleds b4. I’ll put a couple of videos on my 5 subscribers channel lol if you’re interested later.. thanks again
Sorry about that! Comments can get lost in my notifications so I have to go looking for them at times. Nice! My dad loves the procross chassis and is around the same age. The Polaris chassis is definitely a bit more rider forward and more active of a ride. It handles better the more you move around on the sled. The procross will handle better if you shift your body around but it’s not as necessary to make it handle “well”.
Cuz you're. good dude and good people want to help out their community! We appreciate you bravo! also, curious as to which sled you feel is more nimble/lighter: Lynx Rave or Assault Boost?
I don’t think so. I had a guy flip out on me for going around him when he was stuck going up the hill. That was in a video back in 2019. I had planned to head back down to help him but after the attitude I let him sort it out on his own lol.
Damn back in the day my head hit the bottom of a bridge thanks too ice buckle when dale earnhardt died same day n hour bleeding bruises of brain whiplash convulsions on ice sled was okay
Make sure the pump has a separate hose for premium, some pumps have 1 hose and 3 grades of fuel, if a car using 87 was in front of you you can get 1 gal of 87 before you start seeing 92 octane premium.
You crashed wow what a noob….. says the guy in hospital bed from my accident when I heard about this😆🤣. Kidding bud I think it’s great to share. Wear the badge with pride & even better to have a platform to share and help spread word of cautiousness & riding safe. Everything’s a lesson💯 WHEELIEEES!
Leave land onto water fast, leave water onto land slow. When I make my transitions to land off of water I usually chop a lot of throttle in the last 15 feet of water before shore. Doing this you can land on beaches and shorelines just big enough for the sled while coming to a gentle stop. If it's really tight in the last couple feet you can get on the brakes and pitch it 90 degrees to avoid whatever is right beyond shore. I preach to my wife about never crossing faster than you need to if your unsure about the other side. We do a lot of river riding. I get that none of this applys to doing wheelies over a little hole but it's something to think about
My xcr showed max detonation once and I had been filling with 91 non ethanol after that I found a gas station in town that sells 94 octane and never had an issue again, it’s 6.20 a gallon but it also doesn’t go bad as quick as regular gas
I always manage to get bucked off at least once every few years 😄 though fortunately I have never been hurt or expensively damaged anything as a result. It happens to everyone and is the nature of riding off-road. Nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm sure its fun but i do not understand the draw to trail riding.... Maybe if its a trail to a good off trail area. But just purely trail... so boring.
Mistakes are entertaining. I don't see any way to avoid what happened but you are way lucky you didn't damage the sled. I've been there, i wasn't as lucky. Good video
You should've parked that sled hit the nearest place to buy a lottery ticket and bought a ticket because with all those boulders that were there you were lucky very very lucky.
