Snowmobiling from Cochrane to Hearst | Getting stuck, RPM Fade, 2023 Renegade XRS 850 | Fresh Snow!

And always stay to the right,unless you are going to pass! ☃️👍👍

[@sledaddicz]

You got that right! Cheers, Mike

[@rideswift]

You mention passing on the trail, I had one of the most challenging rides ever last weekend around Sudbury. Many groups of riders doing 35 - 45 km/hr and all over the trail!! Honestly it was very dangerous. Riders on the wrong side of the trail is a constant issue that we run into. Even faster riders who cant keep on the right side, no wonder there are so many accidents

[@sledaddicz]

Yup. It's brutal. People really gotta smarten up but that's why I ride always expecting an idiot coming the other way. Cheers, Jesse

[@simoncollins148]

The 850 is only suppose to rev to 7900. Sometimes you have to adjust your clickers on the primary in different conditions. Each clicker position is about 200 RPM.

[@sledaddicz]

Lots of different opinions on clutching. We aim for 8000. Cheers, Mike

[@KT-hr1ez]

He is saying to adjust clickers on primary clutch to get desired rpm when weather changes.

[@WizardsDoMagic]

I got a 2023 left over with a 4 year on it. That was last month and its an 850. Warranty good to the end of 27

[@sledaddicz]

Interesting. The previous buyer must have purchased extra years of warranty. That's awesome man! Cheers, Jesse

[@WizardsDoMagic]

@@sledaddicz bought brand new. Was still in the crate. 0.5 miles at delivery. So looking forward to snow.

[@peterscheffler1474]

Nice ride! Be up there soon. Noticed the knee pads on Mike’s “old” sled. Nice

[@sledaddicz]

We are working to get them on our site and for sale Peter. I'll let you know - might be next season. Cheers, Mike

[@tboystoys5682]

Great ride fellas. I’m in Cape Breton we had a good base in the highlands But still couldn’t get Down for gas but you could ride. Now we got this system that came in and it’s going to rain right through till Thursday. I am like you guys I can talk Snowmobiling all year. I put maybe 300 km on my machines the past 2yrs. If it doesn’t turn around this year I think I’ll be selling my sleds or Moving. Lol 😂

[@flyinhighaerial3193]

move!

[@sledaddicz]

Ya winters have been brutal. If you can move further north, you should!! Cheers, Jesse

[@KliqDon1983]

Throw a 1.5 ice Ripper in your next one and then add 96 1.625 studboys. Had that set up on Lynx. Best of both worlds

[@sledaddicz]

Hey David! I had that on my XRS two years ago and absolutely loved it. Cheers, Jesse

[@shperax]

I got the same linq bag. It's nice

[@sledaddicz]

Ya its a great bag forsure! Cheers, Jesse

[@jasoncampeau2948]

Yes Jesse, I ride the right side all the time, it’s always untouched for some reason. Safe riding buddy 👍

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Jason! Right?! I always hug the right side when its super bumpy and my ride is way way better. Its definitely a good tip! Cheers, Jesse

[@rideswift]

I'm the same way, I always ride against the groomer "wall", like you said, usually untouched.

[@tobylavoie]

i wanna get into sledding next year, im in tbay

[@sledaddicz]

That's awesome! You will love it. Thunder bay is also super close to the trail head which is in Kakabeka Falls. Cheers, Jesse

[@TheDhskir]

Hey Guys! Greetings from snowless NH! :( You should give the Camso Storm 150 a try, pair that with Mack N Vader 1.65 studs. Works great on my ReneX 850!

[@sledaddicz]

I've heard good things about this track. Hopefully one day can try one. Cheers, Mike

[@jeffreycervoni5859]

Great video again, wish I was up there riding! Would like to know what the names of everyone.in the video are ?

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Jeffrey, my bad! Everyone has been introduced in previous videos, but I guess we didn't name them all here. On this ride was me, Mike, Kostia, Jeff, Neal and Rich. Cheers, Jesse

[@johnnnny]

What camera setup are you using? My GoPro batteries always die so quick on the sled, I need something better - wired to a larger pack or something.

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Johnny. Check out our GoPro setup video we released last season. We also speak about battery life of the GoPros in the Genier Loop video from two weeks ago. Cheers, Jesse

[@brucemacdonald4672]

They do run higher rpm with the cold air,compared with a denser warm air thou.

[@sledaddicz]

Agreed. But we had the same issue the previous day at -15, so we knew that wasn't the issue. Ended up being a ECU issue and it has since been reflashed. Sled is good to go now. Cheers, Jesse

[@tittan1500]

@@sledaddicz my 23 850 just started the same 7600 bs at 450 miles. Do you have any info on what the dealer did or if there was a tech sheet skidoo had ?

[@MrShantzy]

That bag at the very beginning 1 minute in. Is that the Linq 40L adventure bag? I would like a review on that bag. There is no reviews on it.

[@sledaddicz]

Oh ya that's our buddy Rich's bag. He likes it. We don't have one that's why there is no video. We prefer other bags purely because the adventure takes up both linq slots for 40L of storage. We have the dry bag which is also 40L and only takes up one spot so we can stack it on our fuel caddy. Here is a video we did on all our LinQ accessories - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPQgqeJhM6Narssi=4-imzqgUHzehYOv_ Cheers, Jesse

[@MrShantzy]

Thanks for the prompt reply, yes I watched that linq video, very informative, thank you. I’m trying something new next year, the side saddle bags and possibly this 40L double bag, I think it looks nice and compact for 40L when not using saddle bags. I just wonder how dry things will keep in it. I have been running the stackable gas can with the 17L sport bag on top, (that one normally gets used for food) and the tool box behind. But I have been carrying extra gas weight for nothing for almost four years now. New sleds I rarely have to worry about needing that gas now. This will just be a different option for me. Thanks again!

[@robertblair3593]

Hi Guys, I just purchased a ‘23 Ren X. Looking to add a decent size LinQ bag. Which would you recommend. I can always add another one later

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Robert! We did a video a few weeks back where we go through all the bags we have and talk about the pluses and minuses. Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPQgqeJhM6Nars Cheers, Jesse

[@nwmi493]

@@sledaddicz the 1+1 rack makes for a GREAT 3RD Linq space !! Now I can stuff her hard like a Christmas turkey!

[@toddyuill3924]

Actually the 850 is built like a 4 Stroke motor I have been inside one And wss talking to two guys up there last year One of them had 15000 km on his and his friend had 25000 km on his whith out a problem

[@shawnlamarche7540]

Not sure why people think they need to be at WOT 90% of the time. Seems like they go out of their way to destroy motors.

[@sledaddicz]

I agree. It is a great motor! Mine hasn't skipped a beat at 13,000 kms and I doubt I will have any issues. All I was saying in the video is that if its going to go, this year would be best while it is still covered. Cheers, Jesse

[@giligan6534]

I’m curious how rich is liking his thundercat ?

[@sledaddicz]

We will see if we can get Rich to give us some first impressions for a video. I'll talk to him about it but so far he is really loving it. Cheers, Mike

[@nwmi493]

do you ride with your high beams on during the day?

[@sledaddicz]

No...this isn't really necessary.

[@patgenier1965]

Good stuff fellas. Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me , ball park figure, how many liters of gas you burn from Cochrane to Kap? I'm thinking going to Hearst and back might be on my list when I visit in March. I was bon in Hearst... Yet raised in Genier. Lol I'll be on a Pol 650 137 . Just looking for approximate. I been out of sledding and heard a few times about the scarcity of 91+ Octane. Cheers from Alberta.

[@BCJ371]

I'd say about 20-25 litres. There's plenty of gas in Kap if you can't get any in smooth rock. We went to the esso yesterday in smooth rock and there was no issues.

[@patgenier1965]

@Bryan J right on. Thanks Brian. I'm looking so forward to this trip. 🙂👍

[@BCJ371]

@@patgenier1965 trails are in great shape. We went Kap to hearst and back today. Plenty of snow and not much traffic.

[@patgenier1965]

@Bryan J Right on. I just bought my new sled from bourkes in Cochrane this week. I've been living vicariously through my bros , Sledaddicz, and other you tube stuff. Let's hope things hold up well all season. I'll be 15 days in district 15 with a brand new Indy in March. O. M. G!! Last sled I owned was in mid 90s.

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Pat. Sorry for the delay in responding. I agree with Bryan's comment. You can definitely get from Kap to Cochrane on a tank. There is also gas in Opasatika and Moonbeam and Smooth Rock Falls if you see that you are running low for some reason. Cheers, Jesse

[@735Films]

I'd say a 1.5 would be good for your sled.

[@sledaddicz]

Agreed! Cheers, Jesse

[@arnoldelliott5695]

Im from NY, USA. (Tug Hill) This winter has been GARBAGE. I've done 138mi (222km) so far THE WHOLE SEASON. The fact you guys are seeing 3c up there shows how trash this winter is.

[@youareright5431]

Hang tight! The last time we had a shitty late start we wound up having a great season,I ride in the same area and my mileage is just a little more than yours 😂😂😂

[@sledaddicz]

Yup I hear ya. It's been tough. You just gotta drive to where the snow is if you can. I'm at 2400 kms for the season thus far. Cheers, Jesse

[@arnoldelliott5695]

@@sledaddicz thats more than i do in 2 years! Awesome stuff.

[@youareright5431]

Don't you guys have clickers on those skidoo clutches? You're going to lose power of it gets warm so you need fo adjust those clickers a little bit....

[@sledaddicz]

Yup 100%. That wasn't the case here as the prior day it was -15 and we were having the same problem. It ended up being an ECU issue that needed a reflash. All fixed now. Cheers, Jesse

[@mattie3595]

Figure you could wear a TekVest under a mono suit??? Might fit weird….

[@sledaddicz]

You can. I just bought too small of a monosuit. Got one size bigger and the tekvest fits perfect. Cheers, Jesse

[@gtileo]

I'm sure BRP got sick of people beating on their 850 and having to replace them on warranty. If you're going to buy a 2stroke you really should be aware that you're not going to get alot out of it before the top end needs to be done, it's not a matter of if the engine blows, it's more a matter of when.

[@bigmurph1447]

I have seen 2 strokes with over 10000miles with out a rebuild. I guess it just depends how u ride it and take care of it

[@gtileo]

@@bigmurph1447 yeah but it's only a matter of time before they go boom is what I'm saying. They have a half life, and it's not anywhere close to a 4 stroke

[@bigmurph1447]

@@gtileo only problem with the 4stroke sleds there heavier in the front end. But it just depends on the area you ride. The trails here in Pennsylvania are twisty. I ride a 2022 backcountry with the 600etec it's just lite and easy to throw around.

[@gtileo]

@@bigmurph1447 they aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be, properly setup suspensions will be very similar, a 45/55 weight distribution will be like 10-15 over the skis difference. It's not like we're talking about a cat or Yamaha 4 stroke lol

[@sledaddicz]

Exactly. But that is why they provide warranty and why most people don't keep two strokes after 10,000 kms. Cheers, Jesse

[@MC-vn2rf]

Is it Klim or klim?

[@sledaddicz]

Im not sure what you are asking. Its klim. Cheers, Jesse
