many 2019 850 blown engines

craigw3972 · Feb 28, 2020

I have seen a rash of 2019 850's with blown engines in the last 3 weeks. All of these sleds have less than 2500kms on them. piston failure.
I heard that Banner in Vernon has 10 2019's lined up waiting for new motors

Anyone else seeing his in their area?

Fake news?

Nothing that I have heard. Our '19 is running great with 3500 km

Bnorth · Feb 28, 2020

I know of one going down around 2000km. Their 18 popped at around the same.

Seen one 19 go down at Park Nelson a month ago, he had just over 2000km. Sounded brutal when it locked up.

Overreving this engine is a major cause of piston failure.
You tach will not catch it, but it will be evident in the max rpm.

Seen one go down in Revy a few weeks back.
Just under 10,000 km. (yes, km is correct)
Banner had him up and running with a new engine in a few days.

Rides machine like a rockstar also. Could be his tunes. Wink Wink.

I heard this ? I heard that ? Lol
Until you see chit yourself it’s just gossip .

snoflake · Feb 29, 2020

It’s clearly an epidemic. Anyone know how many 850s sold over the last 4 years? Just asking for a friend.

Exactly, especially when there is probably more to the story.
Timing bumped, head installed, budds showing many overheats, over revs???

A friend told me 400 million units were sold. Not sure how accurate that is though.

Funny thing about hearsay. Haha

catrutt · Feb 29, 2020

Snopro should have information on this so called problem.

What’s crazy is how small the number actually is. 125,000 units sold world wide every combined brand of sleds. Compare that to Honda or Yamahas individual motorcycle yearly sales in the millions. Sled sales peaked in the mid 90’s legit stats.
