How to Remove hood on a 2018 Ski-Doo rev gen 4

[@corycoulter7967]

I miss the old days when you had 2 latches and you lifted up the hood and you had everything exposed

@@4SeasonBros You mean the days of Leaf Spring skis on only 3" of rear suspension travel ?

The new cat panels are the best thing ever. Look up 2018 cat hood removal

[@jclar3565]

You mean like 80% of the other snowmachines on the trail?? Lol.

[@xenomorph7299]

Can you buy sleds with the old style hood? Two latches and everything exposed.

[@leediffenderfer9326]

I was really hoping to see the bottom of the hood, i have an aux led below the main headlight, i installed led bulbs in the main headlights and now my led does not work, im trying to see how the led wires and if maybe something came loose, this was a dealer installed accessory

[@mikeskidmore6754]

On my 2014 Skidoo I hit a steel pipe under the snow and wiped out the front end with 50 miles on the sled.. I took all the front off ,, but I think I did it panel by panel not all in one big piece.. Seems I left the Instrument panel in tact but I really can't remember back to 2014.. I have it partially apart now and plan to take it off as done in this video .. I maked all the sizes os the torx screws with a sharpie and marked the ones that need to come out to take it apart the way I did .. I did it the hard way not knowing how to do it this way .. Which I would say is the "correct way "

[@jsboening]

Looks like a whole lot of fun putting back together.

[@4SeasonBros]

Its easy

[@HellQuesnel]

Great work, that's a clean sled. My only recommendation for your video's would be better lighting, but overall these are well done video's.

[@joelopuck4607]

Do you know a part number of the covers on the handle bars. I like that they are see through. Do they work good. Keep warm. Great video b y the way.

[@4SeasonBros]

No im not shure

[@chrisouellet1532]

hello do you have the same kind of video or procedure to remove and clean exhaust valve on 2018 850etec. tank you

[@tcr4363]

[@joelopuck4607]

RJ911, what do you use for the spring removal tool? Jim Manitoba Canada

[@4SeasonBros]

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

Ima snowcheck a 2023 ski-doo renegade 850 xrs 137

[@4SeasonBros]

Awsome

[@jclar3565]

God forbid I ever have to change a spark plug in a shitty snowstorm

[@sheddski2942]

man the amount of screws arcticat is so simple compared to this polaris is even simpler but sometimes more is better ??

[@nydegger2870]

Do you have a video on how to replace the bumper?

[@4SeasonBros]

I do not

[@acesarp]

Isn’t it a 17mm instead? I gotta do that to install my skid plates.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

How a bout a 2014 Model is that a Gen III ???

[@4SeasonBros]

I would asume so

[@codytolman1982]

Good video thanks

[@4SeasonBros]

No problem!

[@malone166]

Wow. I really hope I don’t have to change my plugs when it’s -30 at night, snowing, and I’m a little tight.

[@4SeasonBros]

The etec are really great on spark plugs never have changed one under 10k km

[@MBTUE]

Crazy design ! How bout a hinged hood again ?

[@4SeasonBros]

Would be amazing!

[@danfield8102]

And that's how it's done! Thanks, great video.

[@tombilodeau842]

Seen many gen 4 good removals but never seen them replace hood

[@4SeasonBros]

You meen replace it if it were smashed?

[@GenSparks]

Polaris made it so much easier, this is a total pain in the butt to do. I can't imagine having to change sparkplugs on the trail with this sled...

[@dr.curious5136]

When was the last time you have seen anyone change plugs on the side of the trail...... 1996 maybe ? New is always better

[@GenSparks]

@@dr.curious5136 With a 2 stroke you change plugs every year if you fog the engine...have fun doing it with the skidoo

[@4SeasonBros]

No you do not have to change plugs every year been fogging the etec for 8 years and still no problem with plug

[@moimayamahaetmesnounours]

The exhaust pipe is quite ... OVERSIZED !

[@xenomorph7299]

This is nuts why are snowmobiles like this now?

[@4SeasonBros]

Idk

[@xenomorph7299]

@@4SeasonBros maybe its to do with handling on a machine? engine higher up and more center to tip it side to side easier.

[@kyletracey5819]

Then you figure out you cant get into motor to even change a set of plugs. Lol

[@chasf1066]

OMG a shit load of work just to get the cover off. Have they seen the Polaris or Yamaha and cats.? But then still only sled with no LED lights

[@4SeasonBros]

Hopefully it will be introduced in upcoming years

[@aidannina494]

chas f i prefer halogen less strain on my eyes

[@chasf1066]

LMAO Ok

[@mikeskidmore6754]

@@4SeasonBros Halogen bulbs make heat and can melt the snow off from the lens. .. I wonder if LED lights will get buried with snow ???

[@4SeasonBros]

Not to shure did not buy the led they are very expensive

[@alancall5113]

What a nightmare come on what do you think of Engineers can't you make it easy

Simple?!
