First Ride on The New Skidoo Summit! (It Broke Down)

[@midwestsledder6083]

So many things to say on this video. None of this is the sleds fault & is 110% the riders fault. You need to set your dash to “RPMs” and not the speed. I commented a few videos ago that you would hate your sled if you didn’t know you how to adjust your clutching, and especially riding a summit in low elevation. You are literally hitting the rev limiter because your clutch is empty- meaning there is no weights in it FOR high elevation. You want some weight loaded up because you’re not loosing HP like the mountains (there is much more that goes into it, but that is a simple way of explaining it) There is also such thing as quick clickers on your primary, you can go up to gain RPMs & you can go down to loose rpms(because depending on weather, snow type, etc RPMs might change- so YOU need to fine tune- there for a reason). Its just frustrating you blame the sled and try to give it a bad name when YOU are not doing what you need to doo…. Rant over….

[@midwestsledder6083]

Also GGB can is not helping (causes bog, and rpm issues-said that as well) Riding in 3” of snow with no scratchers on Summits is gonna cause it to get hot- and thats with any sled in that amount of snow. ……

[@daytonmacmillann]

I agree with the can as well, many people have complained and I’ve experienced it first hand with ggb. Bog from the trail can, switched back to stock and ran mint

[@jayfxdx]

You hit the nail on the head! Leave the mountain sleds to mountain sledders.

[@midwestsledder6083]

@@jayfxdx Agreed🤙

[@SV11408]

The "B" temp is your belt temperature. Also, when riding trails with the lug size your sleds have, you really should have snow flaps and scratchers. Happy trails fella's.

[@skylermummert24]

Treating a summit like it’s a 95 Polaris Indy lol

[@billslabich6543]

Saying a sled won't carve in 3" of snow, and that you might switch brands because of that sounds like you are a newbie that runs a KZbin station with little sled experience. Running a sled around some fields calling people Bro with a wrap isn't carving

[@darrenpatterson965]

First of all, you need to adjust your GoPro. All we see is your gas tank when riding. 2nd. You're killing that sled with the skiff of snow! Normally love your videos but you can't jump ship treating you SkiDoo like this and the clutching issue. Lol ready to trade it in on first ride is ridiculous. The issue has nothing to do with the sled. It's rider abuse and no scratchers WTF

[@Woodsrider9338]

It’s not a repair, it called setting up your sled for elevation, not Doo problem it’s a you problem.

[@trentpeterson5099]

Bro your just not a very experienced rider

[@thebrentschneider7369]

good luck with the channel, but really?….you have a skidoo summit that is made for the mountains (that is why they call it a deep snow sled - at least 3 feet of base), not 4"of snow. You’re not "carving" anything in 4" of snow. in michigan you just need to get the enticer and "send it".

[@ethanhills7544]

Pretty sure your hitting the rev limiter. Since it’s a summit it probably is clutched for higher elevation. Also the low snow conditions means a lot of track spin which will cause the Rpm’s to jump quick. It sounds like it’s screaming down the trails to (rpm’s are to high). I had to buy a clutch kit for my mountain sled… heavier clutch weights and different springs.

[@ethanhills7544]

Could possibly look at getting a different helix to… maybe a freeride helix or even a trail sled helix. Won’t hurt the power but will keep the RPM’s down on take off.

[@GND_Zero_Performance]

biggest goon award

[@randynell1144]

Yeah, you guys looked like rookies in the vid. Definitely none of the issues were the sleds fault. Just a couple loose screws behind the wheel. 😋 Hopefully this big storm hits and you can end your trip on a high note.

[@patrickblahosky8641]

Trail riding a mountain sled again. Great content

[@robertreinhart7557]

Skidoos tend to run warmer than Polaris's in our group. Etechs go through a series of phases as the temperature rises. At 145ish they'll add more oil. About 155/165 back off on the timing. 175/180 temp light comes on and around 200ish the sled starts to beep and will shutdown cause your an idiot. Lol In poor trail conditions I usually shut it down around 160/165 and have had no issues doing that.

[@coryclouser58]

90 on a trail…next he’s going to wonder why he has to replace his track. Also ever consider throwing out that garbage exhaust system?

[@coryroot]

What speed are those doo mountain tracks rated for? Mountain Track can explode holding to the bars down the trail going 90

[@gavinw4165]

The GoPro is pointing a little down for my preference, we don’t get to see the view very much

[@timkivel195]

Holy FU*k is that loud!! And 60 max bro that track is going to heat up!! I bet you have out west clutching

[@nickschehr3166]

It’s the ggb mountain can that’s making that bogging. I had the same issue with my 800 etec with a ggb mountain can.

[@desert-timber-outdoors6577]

It’s ok. Skidoos are made for big boy mountains out west. Not farm Fields

[@trent.142]

It’s the GGB exhaust they’re junk, I had issues put stock back on and no problem

[@joeknops3975]

Ski doos have limiters mine had high elevation clutching on mine and it was fine

It’s the Indian not the arrow

[@tonyrichie736]

[@chadsheridan353]

Hi elevation low elevation from ski Doo isn't just clutching it's gearing also. It's only like one or two teath and you can use the same chain . Also when overheating pack snow on top of the tunnel around your bag. And every summit I have ever bought ( 2015, 18, 20, and my 22) all came stock with scratchers.

[@jayz1719]

Buy some scratchers. When you're on any kinda vacation or travel trip. You can't rely on the weather man. I put them on all my sleds. Your friend Jays motorsports. 👍

[@ryanhickey6641]

[@jeffkennedy1833]

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

[@shag_6996]

The skidoo summits come stock w high elevation clutching most of the time so you may have to swap the lurch weights and springs w low elevation clutch kit

[@MrCoda47]

I find this hilarious you're riding a mountain sled. I'm 4 inches of snow without scratchers and mountain sleds. Do not ride well in no snow.

[@HiOctane62]

You need scratches for starters. I personally can’t stand Polaris.

[@HK-bx9ke]

Norther wi has a lot of snow and we are gettin like 30-40 in of pow this week

[@Brobro449]

By the way the bogging issues is probably the exhaust ggb is a known culprit of causing bogging issues. GGB doesnt do any dyno testing for individual units same exhaust with different brackets and stuff for different brands. flat out pathetic how they do things. Also why are you so suprised your sleds are overheating on trail with 3 inch lugs?

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

GGB stands for Gay Guys Banging 😂

[@arptv806]

was having similar issues with my m6 i talked about on your vids you made on the catalyst back around hay days my m6 would climb up to 7700 RPM drop down to 6500 and then climb back up to 7700 it has a after market cam in the secondary clutch was set up for high elevation all we needed to do to fix the issues was simply tighten the secondary up and now she runs like a champ i am new to high elevation clutching so if anyone who has more knowledge than me would would like to fill me in that would be great

[@corbinhollenbeck1123]

B is belt temp e is engine temp and you’re over revving because your clutches are adjusted too high for what elevation you’re at use your clutch tool, and set your clutch weights to 1 you use your clutch tool and use the star head for your clutch weights it has 1-4 settings, depending what elevation you’re at put it on one and you should only be hitting 8,100 rpm

[@snomofilms]

I’m staying at the refuge cabins Thursday- hope they keep working on the snow pack this week!

[@tboystoys5682]

It’s Not A Polaris. Completely Operator Error. You guys are trail Riding on Mountain Sleds in 4 inches of snow with no scratchers or snow flaps and high altitude clutching. No wonder they were hot well main thing is now ya know and reach out to guys who have been riding that sled and tell them your riding style I’m sure they’ll dial that sled right in to your style of riding. It is a big difference from the Polaris for sure. Stay Healthy Stay Safe
