Two weeks ago I got out with Eric, (easy smoke)manger at the Vernon store and he brought out a demo 800 mountain cat and a side winder, got to try either one out and liked them both, they tried the 850 as well..

i had thought the sidewinder had good track speed, and handled very well, never missed a beat, could of maybe had a longer track in the deep we had, the 800 shot quick out of the snow, and was very easy to maneuver, maybe a little to much, need more seat time, maybe a 174 like bakers..

I heard cat is comming out with some real rank stuff real soon, want to see it perform, could be a color swap

Textron bucks?

eric was saying the sidewinder has a twenty year/160 thousand km warrenty, I had thought he was BS all day, but says it's true.. That's crazy..

LIMITED WARRANTY of course. Hey where are all the oil whiners it clearly states you have to run Yamalube. I was told on the net that all oil is the same and that manufactures oil is no different than off the shelf flavour of the month. Hmmm Doo recommends XPS oil specifically for their engines and its pages of arguments and backlash.

My '18 850 Renegade started to smoke terrible at about 900 miles. Used a full tank of oil in 93 miles. Dealer hooked it to BUDS, couldn't find anything. filled it Sunday, went 13 miles and burned more than a quart. Dropped it back at dealer Sunday. Haven't heard anything yet. My 16 ZR has about 2700 miles and have went through 1 belt at 2375 miles. Thinking I made a huge mistake buying this Doo...

What is the average fuel/oil ratio guys are seeing? Are we just hearing about the worst case oil burners? Anyone seeing reasonable fuel/oil ratios? So far the numbers being posted are absolutely pathetic and embarrassing for BRP.

My 2018 is nowhere near as good as my 2015 T3. A jug of oil only lasts me three (ish) days riding. I've spent a small fortune on oil this year. I could go two days on a tank with the XM (not on purpose), wouldn't even dream about trying that now.
