2016 Polaris RMK 800 AXYS, a closer look! PowerModz!

[@Snurre86]

I would like the GPS to have a warning system for when you are close to cliffs, especially when it is foggy or bad visibility. Even just the elevation lines (contour lines) would help a ton. Could even make the lines red when they get too close to each other.

[@NSskidookid]

I really like the idea of a sled coming stock with a belt drive rather then a chain case because It saves so much weight... But I don't understand how having your breaks in such a place that if you where to blow a belt you wouldn't be able to stop makes sense. None the less the sled looks sick and I can't wait to see some footage in the snow!

[@GerasiMen]

+Matthew MacIntyre все очень просто! это просто бизнес ! ремень изнашивается и рвется чаще а стоимость дороже ! это расходный материал который вам неизбежно придется покупать ! а значит дополнительный прибыль для компании полярис я вас уверяю выигрыш в весе ничтожный! а вот надежность узел стало хуже увы мой друг

[@derke123]

+Matthew MacIntyre you just abandon ship when the belt blows, jk. It probably autobreaks or something.

[@Mcnutts3]

+Matthew MacIntyre curious if there would be a timing issue if the belt broke? or stretched?

[@Puckgrinder85]

+Trubbiish That's what he means, the brake is located in the jackshaft and the drive axle is on the other end of the belt which is what engages the track. If the belt in theory were to break your brakes would be doing nothing to stop you. Those cogged belts are super fucking strong however, I'd guess they are stronger than the typical sized chain they put in them. They run top fuel dragster blowers with them, just some food for thought.

[@Puckgrinder85]

+Mcnutts3 Doesn't matter, they are not timed. Have jumped a chain many times when the chain was worn out or needed adjustment or the chain case bearings took a dump.

[@yammieboost4714]

its really cool how they got something as big as that lighter than some sportbikes

[@gwademytube]

"Where is the choke!" I have done that to. Coming from a 2002 Polaris 700 Edge X. Thanks for the video update.

[@tylernorton583]

we don't get enough snow here to have one,but if we did this would be the bad ass one to buy.

[@ericm1430]

that display is amazing! i love it

[@lachaineal]

Pretty Nice louis, hope you'll have a better season this year

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Alex Lachaine Thanks! Me too!

[@thejestor893]

You should Upgrade that rear bumper, I have broke many of those lol nice sled!!

[@Max9string]

my advice is if you get stuck and you want to roll it, make sure the tunnel is not gonna pry on anything or it will bend, also watch for ice if you leave it outside the ice will dent the tunnel when going at decent speeds, its really thin, also a lot of ppl were bending the suspension with wheelies and jumping at weird angles, its thinner this year also, me personally I would get the assault and just get a belt drive kit if you plan on doing any kind of hard riding, also those forge aluminum a arm not sure how big of branches they can handle, unless you plan to ride bottomless snow only, tho the assault has the same tunnel except it has a reinforcement brace in the front, but suspension its beefier and a arm wise +I think it still has a few extra braces, only downside is you can't get belt drive or the light mono shock and I can tell you the walker evan with the bottle shock are a waste of money and weight, I rode a regular pro and my assault and there's no difference except on the dampning setting you can make it really stiff/slow with the bottle shock unless you plan on jumping 100 foot jumps on hardpack its a waste especially for the front

[@adamwagner2693]

hi lui, remember I saw you at the snowmobile show I was the kid that my dad introduced me to you I love the stuff you do I saw your 2016 Polaris rmk 800 at the show

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Adam Wagner Hey right on yes!

[@SuperKp1986]

Polaris really stepped there game up with these sleds

[@fpcxenos3788]

Tag if you were at the Toronto show! I was there! i met powermodz and sat on the sled its NICE

[@merlincoates701]

I see it started right away... like the E-tec and also it doesn't smoke much......

[@SnoFreaxx]

The first tank is premixed for break-in, hence the thick smoke

[@fnatomagan]

Snow is already here in Saskatchewan

[@shedboyz21]

Geese Louie! Going to need a new set of carbides and hyfax soon lol

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+shedboyz21 ill take the carbides off this winter and run a bar instead - carbides catch rocks.

[@michaeld6779]

pretty sweet lookin sled... did you fix that 84 big red motor yet ? lol. be safe be good.

[@trevorwellman5812]

Louie you should put a ggb mountain can on that make it sound like a beast

[@portohome65]

You should do a full nextech rear skid and front shocks

[@derekyoung4931]

I see that the drive belt is wide open how is it when you get snow up in there. beside that it looks kick ass

[@Tremorx00]

Have you thought about making a video on why you got this exact sled over the other Polaris sleds that came out this season?

[@sledneck144]

That's a nice sled pro rmk

[@just-passin-thru]

What a beautiful Sled! :)

[@slimjim119]

sweet how did it feel

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Jim Rowlings It feels like a dirt bike!

[@patrick9087]

I'm in Northern Ontario and it got to -47 the other day. I'm just assuming that LCD display would eventually stop working up here, or is it durable? Aren't you in southern ON?

[@gocarter99]

Do a Boondocker Turbo installation video when it comes in please!!!

[@karlbuttler]

Hey, where is that sled your building with the C/F slider's and 900 something engine????

[@snidebasher2227]

love the videos wish u could do a old zrt 800 triple mode

[@jeremycampfan]

awesome looking sled

[@scott5006]

Needs a cam? Do snowmobile 2 strokes have exhaust valves like 2 stroke diesels?

[@MBTUE]

Love the GPS. Not liking the so called windshield .Belt drive should be the norm on all sleds. Nice sled .

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Mark Bow the windshield is nice and small for rolling in the snow to get it unstuck - doesnt break.

[@eclipsegaming5998]

Sounds like my 99 super sport 550 with a bit less umph.

[@russellk393]

I love your sled

[@123AndrewT]

Brand New Polaris and takes 3 pulls to start? My Skidoo XM started first pull in -10 C after sitting all summer! looks good but I've never been a fan of the RMK.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+123AndrewT brand new polaris with oil injection, 40:1 mixed fuel in the tank and assembly lube in the engine/pistons and on the plugs, I'm surprised it started that easily with all that gooey oil everywhere.

[@BlaineDP]

Put it on a scale yet to weigh it?

[@jeffe1795]

I see you dumped your doos finally. Got smart and came to the better side ;)

[@sahlmanmatti]

cool RMK awesome

[@cmacbrown]

I know everyone wants the 2 stroke but I want a 1049cc Yamaha viper xtx with the mcx270 kit.

[@allischalmers138]

nice sled love the custom paint job?

[@aidenhalcrow7702]

Paint lol😂😂

[@1boehm]

wish my 01 rmk was worth 10,000 i would buy one

[@crazyvids0169]

Does it have electric start and reverse and do you always have to mix the gas

[@danielchampagne8965]

did he say that he had to mix the fuel?

[@gwademytube]

How hot do you let the coolant get during your heat cycles? just curious what others do.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Gordon S just to 120 or so, not too hot.

[@kwmiked]

PowerModz thermostat doesn't fully open till 144 degrees, at 122 its only a quarter of the way opened

[@ThatManJacob]

how does the 2 stroke thing work? I'm looking into getting one, you mix it your self or does it mix it?

[@ethanjones3482]

2 stroke snowmobiles come with an injector for the oil. a lot of guys just mix the gas themselves

[@hustlerman1231]

Yes you HAVE to mix the gas and oil your self in a 2 stroke you will fuck your shit up if you put regular gas in a 2 stroke

[@kwmiked]

Nick no u dont!

[@buda9652]

Is dis coming soon in 2016?

[@richardfrye1411]

Why swap out coolant?

[@chasemorehouse5723]

What song is in the intro

[@Pghsfinest222]

Im about to buy a new rzr and I noticed you were talking about oil in this video.. Whats the best oil to use in the rzr

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+joseph chop I use the Polaris oil. Thanks for watching!

[@gabepost2855]

You need to get a long track like 174 it's really good you barley ever get stuckThe Polaris is copping ski due ski due started the short noes stuff A ski due 2017 850 eteck 174 track is unstoppable you don't need any turbo

[@gregmayer8236]

does Ricky Bobby Louie have any comments on the RMK

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Greg Mayer he will!

[@TheBCSledder]

I want one soooo bad

[@Nicksterzone]

I can't wait to see it rip.

[@keatongrober9310]

it has power

[@andrewoyler1969]

Just bought a 2017 axys le 155. I noticed there is a bit of sag on the tunnel. Is that normal or should it be stiffer?

[@rosskeene1913]

Andrew Oyler your. rear suspension should be set so when you get on your sled with full gear there should be 2-3in of drop at the rear bumper. ideally also there would be ever so slight sag or compression of the center shock too

[@HilmesDestruction]

I want it but damn is it expensive

[@Haderg33]

Just do a complete muffler delete damn that would be loud but it would sound sick

[@sandchar]

THAT PIPE DOE :0

[@Supermonkeyman212]

What happen to ski doo louie?? 😢

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+ski doo boy still have them, cant ride them all at once but will when i can.

[@Supermonkeyman212]

+PowerModz i like the modded rev! Ski doo for the win!

[@joakimfoxolsen]

Power Mods can you try the ski doo rmx please😊😊😊

[@patrickbernard84]

40:1 mix realy smokes!!

[@StuffedDonut]

Real time satellite veiw? You would need a satellite to follow your every move lol They do make drones tho that follow you from up high.

[@SnoFreaxx]

Like a terrain view like google maps instead of just a white map view

[@MichiganManiak]

heat cycles are the worst thing you can do to a new motor. it's not ring tention that seals the cylinder. it's the gas pressure that builds up behind the ring forcing it outward against the cylinder wall. The only way to force the ring against the cylinder wall is to open up that throttle with load on the motor. Heat cycles do not force the rings against the cylinder. I'm willing to bet within 2000 miles the cylinder crosshatch is gone..

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+fullmelttokes I dont agree, a couple of heat cycles on the engine new wont hurt it, then yes you need to load it up to get everything seated...but everyone has their own methods.

[@kwmiked]

Snowdonkie beg to differ there, 4k miles on mine and cross hatching was still in the cylinder walls.

[@MichiganManiak]

kwmiked well I beg my pard. you see your motor like power mods new sled was already broke in at the factory. the final step at the factory they place the sled on the stand, warm up the engine, then pull the throttle wide open for about a second, and do that about 5-10 times. this properly seats the rings. I should have said heat cycles are bad for rebuilt engines, new ones all you are really doing is nothing since they come pre-broken in.

[@kwmiked]

Snowdonkie u are wrong on that! if rings were seated they wouldn't have u mix oil in gas first tank, and 3hrs of extra oil programed into computer, and remaining 15hrs in computer for brake in. total of 18hrs

[@MichiganManiak]

kwmiked prove it. I've been to the factory's. there are plenty of KZbin videos documenting the manufacturing process.

[@nicholascarroll2284]

Y do you mix fuel

[@PowerModzOfficial]

+Nicholas Carroll orders from polaris with new sleds - good for the break in.

[@KnobCRICK]
