800 or 1100

[sledhead800]

hey guys going to order a new sled for 2013 but don't know what one to get yet, was thinking of a 1100 162 turbo but then my bro said to me y not a 162 800 and put a turbo on it, so i am stuck in a hard spot, i do alot of tree riding and a lil bet of climbing, i know i got alot of time to think about, but just like to hear sum more replys on my decision thanks alot...

I like my new 800. It's a 153 and it works great.
The only thing I don't like about the 4 strokes is if you roll your sled, and it stay running upside down, that motor is going to be toast in 10 seconds. A 2 stroke won't like it either but it's going to be a bit more forgiving.
That being said, I would still like to try the 1100 turbo.

4 stroke will shut off automatically when oil pressure drops from being upside down.

Yes they do shut off, I found that out first hand


Give me snow and lots of it!!!!

Ok cool! I didn't know if it would keep running like my 800. Mine was upside down for a good 15 seconds with the throttle wide open. I wish these newer sleds came with tether cords. Thanks for the info!

thether cord is the answer. 2 or 4 stroke. I put a tether on all my sleds.

I've got the M1100T, awesome power: but, if you are a smaller guy it might be a little much for you, it is heavier for sure on the flats. And feels light when you pin it climbing!

I am around 230 lbs i am riding a 2010 162 snopro M8 done by brent lilnderman all motor job tho putting out around 180 h.p, did u ever race with a 2012 proclimb 800 with a turbo on it yet if so how did the 1100 do??if tree riding with it do it feel light in the trees??

The question is do you want to run race fuel. A 2 stroke 800 with a turbo will need race fuel to get close to 220hp. a m1100 with a box will run 230-240 on pump gas. I like the idea of filling up at the local pumps. The 1100 is heavier though so I won't want on if I was 160lbs. The power on the 4stroke is so smooth. I would say ride a 1100 first and see if you can get used to the extra weight.

What ever you do, don't limit yourself! If you decide on the 800, put on a RG turbo and then just run it where you'd like for power, in the future bumping up the power\fuel is way easier.

Install a tether and use it - cheaper then a new engine. For the type of riding you're talking about, I think the 800 in a 153 will be a better choice - certainly more nimble in the trees.

i had a 2009 m1000 153 and i didn't like the 153 it was not enough track for me, so i would take a 162 or a 153, i got no trouble moving my 162 in the trees so i well stay with a 162.
