Lost My Sled

We finally got some fresh snow today! once we got up to a decent elevation the snow was actually really good. If you can't tell we were a little excited about it.
It seems as though the fuel pump on my sled might be getting tired and have to be replaced. Its time to get back on the Ski-Doo now anyway!

These videos everyday make me happy! Thanks again Matt!

It’s Amazing where a snowmobile will take you. Great video Matt and crew 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

[@alotl1kevegas860]

These newer Polaris are notorious for quick drive failure. I said that a few weeks ago. I figured it was only a matter of time before your quick drive broke. I would be carrying an extra primary gear and quick drive belt on the Polaris. But thats just me. Will be interesting to see how this effects you're review at the end of the season. It's a brand new sled and its riddled with issues. I definitely feel out of the box/factory crate the Skidoo is the better snowmobile. Just my 2 cents

[@korben8336]

Fuel pump is all under warranty?? Hope so if its anywhere near what skidoo charge for theirs...

[@jiggeraudettejr.2662]

Been riding Polaris Quick sleds since 2013 . Quick drive belts usually fail from the Ratchting Track. Its caused by high shock loads from the track ratcheting then hooking up again. Quick drive belt can not take the same stress as the track . Matts track shows that it has been ratcheting a time or two . My 2 cents worth . Polaris should use real Extroverts.

[@socialscaper312]

This content had me hooked from the first video. I am a trail rider but keep it up man. Love every minute of it. What sped deco do you recommend?

[@johnnnny]

Do the belt drives fail more often than the chains? Seems like it, but I dunno.

[@weswhittier3216]

Not sure but it seems like the po has been giving you a lot of issues between fuel pump, track,and now dive? The do ever give you this much uncertainty when out riding? Love the videos, not sure how you do it every day? Kep it safe!

[@R1Kyle]

That just fits my thoughts on Polaris, sure they are great handling and performing sleds but they are just riddled with reliability problems!

[@olovfernquist1422]

Did you miss when the Doo blew up at the beginning of the season 🤣

[@Stacked3403]

@@olovfernquist1422 right I would rather replace a belt and a fuel pump then an entire engine but I guess that's just me

[@R1Kyle]

@@olovfernquist1422 Except for the fact that the engine was a weird one time deal, sucks yes but likely the Doo will never be a problem again; whereas the Polaris needs attention they will likely not even fix under warranty and cannot correct from their OEM parts catalog. The drivers are a design issue so you have to buy aftermarket, track is wrecked and likely no warranty, belt no warranty. Fuel pumps are on back order and a prolific issue. Sounds fun to me, like I said they are great handling sleds but riddled with issues.

[@bigchaloopa]

@@olovfernquist1422 you can thank his dealer for that one. The oil map update came out mid November and my dealer got a hold of me. I have no issues and nothing like this Poo has.

[@735Films]

How many KM before your belt drive broke?

[@Timichaud]

I think a better question could be how many operating hours with the quick belt before failure?

[@208SledHead]

I dunno if it was necessarily a belt "failure" as much as it was a track ratcheting problem.

[@Timichaud]

@@208SledHead and if there was presence of ice pieces in this area. My friend 2014 rmk have original belt on it even in 2022 and still going. But for sure this is a 150hp 800 and not a 180hp 850 turbo.

[@stevewolff7187]

Please explain why Polaris uses a belt drive on the mountain sleds? Seams unreliable! What is the advantage over a chain drive?

[@fairbanksairriders]

Belt drive is quicker to respond - and quicker to fail! It’s a brand new sled... Should not be failing!

[@therealjessejames111]

@@fairbanksairriders yes, less rotating mass. he did get snow into the belt drive a couple of times this year, so that could have something to do with it. i saw another video a guy broke the entire belt drive from getting snow inside while it was running. both of them forgot to put side panels back on. that wouldn't happen with a chain drive. but you also can't fix a chain drive on the mountain...

[@208SledHead]

@@fairbanksairriders His Doo seized with less than 200km's on it. Would you rather replace a belt or a motor?

[@208SledHead]

The belt drives are super reliable. Like 98% or better? But don't ask a Doo queen cuz they'll blow it out of proportion every chance they get.

[@fairbanksairriders]

@@208SledHead Ok. Take it easy. My old Doo just ate the all metal chain case, so they aren't 100% reliable either!

You should come try it. You haven’t rode if you haven’t done some POW turns

[@carson.608]

Have you ever done it? I'm not very good on a dirtbike but I've done it enough to know I prefer a sled. The power of sleds and the freedom to make your own path where ever your going makes it hard for anything else to compete with the fun factor.

[@montanamountainutv]

Way more power at hand than riding a 450, I assume you mean on dirt, which is awesome, and way more freedom of line choice.

[@christianwagner23]

This isn’t a dig at your comment just to be clear, but it’s intriguing. My buddy and I were just talking the other day about how we don’t understand how trail riders enjoy themselves. Two sides to every coin I suppose.

[@montanamountainutv]

@@christianwagner23 yeah trail riding is only to access backcountry for me. Been sledding 23 years, dirt biking for 35! If I had to choose one it's the bike. But honestly I have said this before, snowmobiling is like heaven! Blue skies and deep powder everywhere!!! Love it
