2024 Polaris Boost 325 | Why Did I Choose Polaris?

[@hayddsss]

That break in mode idle is 💨💨💨💨💨

[@SlipperyDucky]

I did the exact opposite of you rode a Polaris last year and this year back to a Ski Doo. Polaris is a weapon in the trees ver predictable. Didn’t like the fit and finish of the build, the clutch issues and the case of spark plugs I went through on my Polaris. I haven’t changed a spark plug on a doo since 2012. The stop rides were insane and having a brake lever that sent my sled into limp mode drove me insane. Hopefully Polaris got that all figured out cause I would love to have a 2025 Polaris back in my garage.

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

I totally agree. My BRP machines over the years have never left me stranded on the mountain and I have never had to change plugs. I think Polaris is moving in the right direction for reliability and I'm crossing my fingers for this season!

[@brettgingery298]

I wish I could recall how many recalls my 2023 Polaris matryx 9R had, maybe a dozen? I actually got another text this morning about a "stop ride" My buddies fouled the plugs the first ride out, on the fourth ride out the crank seized

[@BertaRiders]

Nice sled! You will be in your happy place on that thing this season. Feel way more at home compared to that Shredder. Pumped for the build and the riding content. I had snowchecked a new Doo Turbo but I completely made the switch and I will be on a Snowbike. Going to be a good season!

[@notsure984]

Pulled it in the hardway. Mad props bro

[@Dagus85]

Totally agree. Ive only been riding ski doos and Lynx for years. (Norway) And i switched to an 2022 Khaos 155 boost last season. It totally blew my mind how stable it was and i can never go back now. It took me a while to get use too it because i was using to much force in my input. Will probably try 155 pro next year.

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

That's wicked! Exact same for me. I rode a gen 4 ski-doo for a few years and then just fell in love with the Matryx. It felt so natural right off the bat and I quickly progressed as a rider on it. Can't wait to get back on the Matryx saddle!

[@grandpre25]

Love your rider input and honest opinion! I was seriously considering a Lynx because of the way you rode it last season! I love BRP Ski doo's 850. I think the Etec engine is superior to polaris out of the gate. My pro rmk 800 155 with series 6 track will 'almost" outperform a skidoo 850 165 3" track. I have ultimately had to delete T-motion on my 850 skidoo and raise/straighten the spindles to get rid of total washout & rake angle.

[@tommydoepel6580]

Love Riverside i used to go there all the time with my dad.

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

That's awesome! I have nothing but good to say about them!

[@stevem8602]

Brand new skidoo 850 XRS is unmatched

[@patheron7812]

I hope your sled doesn't have a 10 month no-ride recall with zero status information from Polaris for a whole year.

[@208SledHead]

That's reserved for BRP. Aside from that stupid P22 clutch, Polaris has been on top of it.

[@SlipperyDucky]

@@208SledHead do we really need to count the stop rides that Polaris released in the last year 😂

[@208SledHead]

@@SlipperyDucky Oh you’re the clown that takes the term “stop ride” literally huh? Because some handle bar hooks can impale you? lol. Got it.

[@SlipperyDucky]

@@208SledHead 😂 you forgot the stop ride on 22-23 Boost for fuel leak/fire hazzard, 23 9R Primary clutch failure, 22-24 850 Primary clutch failure, 22 Polaris Electric Start ring gear failure, 22-23 Throttle/Brake when used simultaneously can cause fire hazzard, 2013-2023 degraded fuel extended storage electrostatic fire hazzard. 22-23 Patriot Boost primary clutch bolt failure. Shall I continue? 😂 this was just in the last year. Not to mention the case of spark plugs every Polaris comes with 🤣 obviously your a fan boy and the facts on Polaris website hurts your feelings 🤡 I want to be back on Polaris so I am hoping 2024 is a solid year for themif it is 2025 I will be back. 👍

[@208SledHead]

@@SlipperyDucky Oh please. Quit being a typical fucking Doo queen. There wasn’t any fuckin fire risk. The only legit recall is on that stupid P22 clutch. Which is an easy fix. Same can’t be said for Doo’s ingenious 2 piece drive shaft and grenading chain cases. How’s those backordered parts working out for you girls??

[@otahu26]

Wonder what the Service Interval is on the New Clutch?? Cos the old one Was 1000 miles to service from Polaris tech. I'd like to see them Last as long as YAMAHA clutch set up.

[@Fatonzzz]

Looking forward to the build and seeing you ride it. Also looking forward to hearing your feedback on that track. I have a 2023 Boost Pro Slash 165. Installed iBexx clutching over the summer and am stoked to ride it. Got my wife a 2024 Pro 850 Slash 165 Snowcheck. Not thrilled with the local dealer anymore, so might try Riverside or Cycleworks next time since I’m just a couple hours outside Edmonton.

[@mitchperrott]

check out riverside!

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

So far I am very impressed with the new track. It hooks up extremely well and pushes forward. I'm excited to get more seat time on it. As for the dealer issues, I highly recommend Riverside. I've had nothing but great experiences with them!

[@CS-nm1kx]

I hundred percent agree with you on that lynx i went with the 23 turbo 154. the trenching didnt seem to me quite as much of a problem but i had a buddy on a shredder re with me for a few days, he would more or less seem to trench and get hung up. Overall buddy wasnt super impressed with it, the shocks were amazing though!

[@albinlinde3399]

He should’ve got the ds not re

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

Getting the DS instead of the RE would have made a huge difference. The extra weight in the skid on the RE was a huge contributor to the trenching. I had heard that the DS wasn't nearly as bad.

[@Ride4life311]

@@Bryce_Cardinal you are talking about 2.3 lbs difference from the RE to the DS on rear shocks. That is nothing! you pack way more weight than that with snow in your skid. It all comes down to Rider error and the way you set your shocks up.

[@robbklein390]

Nice sled. I agree, Polaris makes a great handling sled, my days to ride in the mountains are limited, and I just have lost confidence in Polaris. I need a sled that I can ride all day and get back to the trailer without issues. Doo is my ride of choice for that reason. Hopefully Polaris comes back to that. Best of luck in your riding season. I'll be watching for feedback.

[@208SledHead]

What about Polaris made you lose confidence in them? My buddies and I have all had wild success here in east Idaho with them - riding 30+ times a year.

[@robbklein3908]

All the recalls.

[@208SledHead]

I'm not trying to be an asshole here - but I don't understand that response. One recall is for that idiot that stores his sled full of ethanol fuel for 12 years and then goes out to fire it without draining the gas first. Another was because apparently it's possible to impale yourself on some handlebar hooks. 3rd is because people are riding the brake and gas at the same time - do you drive with two feet? 4th - which is really the only actual recall, is that piece of shit P22 clutch. The first 3 I named was a business decision....to cover their ass from potential lawsuits. Has absolutely nothing to do with a defective product. So when people say that Polaris is full of "recalls," it always makes me scratch my head. At least they can announce it and take it on the chin vs. BRP posts some hard-to-find bulletin on their website with backordered parts to cut people's seasons short. @@robbklein3908

[@robbklein3908]

Brake recall, fuel pump recall, clutch recall, fuel mapping issues, drive shaft issues. A good friend of mine owns a polaris dealership. At one point there wasn't one product he could sell due to stop rides and recalls. If you've had good luck with Polaris, great. I used to be able to ride 30+ days a year. Not anymore. I've ridden sleds 50 years. Have owned them all. As I said in my first post. I think the new Polaris sleds look and handle great. I rented one for a week. Loved how it handled. I read all the forums and hear about what so many people are dealing with. The great thing about sledding is choice. My choice not to ride a Polaris.

[@adammcmahon7135]

Yeah these recalls are ridiculous! Still waiting on recall parts while I see all these people getting their new sleds. Seems backwards to me. They should give these new clutches to the people that already purchased their product before they sell these new ones. But that’s business I guess. Just frustrating as hell!

[@mrmoparrr]

Do you just keep it Between Full and 3/4s a tank and Spare Clutches and 6 sets of Plugs ?

[@KDUBBS15]

Can't wait to see you on that thing, and the build. I'm in the middle of my '23 Boost build currently. And what is that work bench/ Cabinet setup you've got?

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

Cheers buddy, I appreciate it! They are two Torin 9 piece cabinet sets put together. I got them at Costco but it looks like they don't offer them anymore.

[@darreng2639]

Did you buy the sled to match your cabinets lol

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

Matchy matchy haha

[@MolsonM3]

Nice overview of the sled. I ordered the exact same colour scheme but went 155 Khaos instead of a pro. Doesn’t the 2024 also have a new brake cylinder that allows the pads to be further from the new rotor? Does the brake have more travel than the 2022 before engagement? I haven’t picked up my sled yet to see.

[@Ckc.77]

Make sure that clutch bolt is torqued on, but not over torqued lolllll

[@blaserlongrange7616]

Glad to have you back on the polaris, i was a subscriber before but i unsubscribed when you went with lynx and to much drama/clickbait content...now I'm back subscribe to your chanel 🇸🇪

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

I appreciate that! Hopefully less drama this year and just more fun/shredding. I feel way more at home on the Popo

[@Stevenjweber]

The clutching really took the crown! 😂 Thanks for the laugh, nice review

[@GamerSledDroneGunGuy]

riverside is wicked best guys around to deal with

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

I couldn't agree more!

[@sledheadmcgee]

Smoking like a new sled baby!!!

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

No shortage of oil that's for sure Hahah

[@Sled.ATV-Magadan]

Information very good👍Thanks

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

Thank you!

[@lifethruacamera4313]

Why did you choose Polaris. UUUM for all the recalls?

[@snabbkebab2963]

Cool!

[@Bryce_Cardinal]

Thank you! I like to give honest opinions as an "every day" rider as opposed to all the sponsored opinions we always see. I agree, the dream machine would be a Turbo R in a Matryx chasis haha I immediately felt so much more at home on the Polaris. I just love how predictable they are and I feel like I can ride a lot more aggressive with them because of it.

[@jdxjim]

It's Polaris or Ski-Doo..... that's all that will be left shortly as the North American sales market continues to fall.. Cat is Textron owned who has to already be thinking of pulling the plug----Corps don't keep losing lines very long. Those Polaris Machines sure do look Great !!

[@Red4banger]

Cat ain't going nowhere, they have a brand new platform called the catalyst. A new 858 coming next year.

[@jdxjim]

Do some research. TEXTRON..who owns them and pays the bills recently told share holders they were cutting out a few losing lines..that is Cat my friend.. Cat is a money loser for textron... Textron and its shareholders could care less about a new platform or engine.. they lose money with Cat... see ya is what they are saying..

[@Red4banger]

@@jdxjim Looks to me cat snowmobiles have a pretty bright future! I hope you're wrong my friend, competition is good for the business!
