  1. 2019 ski-doo models released

    Spoke with a doo factory racer that just tested a 900T. Said it did have good power, but felt much heavier than an 850. Most importantly, he didn't feel it had turbo lag, but throttle lag. Said that electronic throttle causes a delay. You would need to think ahead and time a launch off of a crest. Very good high mileage trail sled for cruising, but can not shine the shoes of an 850. Guys that ride hard corner to corner will be disappointed. That sealed the deal for me... unloading my 17 800 Pro-S LE for a 850 XRS.

    It would be safer to tie the right ski of the dead sled to the bumper, that way the sled is out in the kill zone instead of the human.

    Not so sure about that.....By towing with the sled hanging out into the on coming traffic, you set the on coming driver up for failure. He's not expecting 2+' of sled hanging out against him.

    I would tow a sled like that on a lake but not on a windy trail. You can tie the spindles and through the loops in a way that the sled will dutifully follow and that’s why I carry a carabiner rigged up water ski tow rope. 

    How do u do that Jack??? And how do you stop the sled being towed. If the sleds not tied fast I would think it's  going to whip out around turns... unless the rider is still on the sled sucking dust and fumes.

    A windy trail is really a non issue except you are running wider.

    Ive found the best way to tow a dead sled..just tie the ski loop tight to the bumper of the tow sled..pull the belt and away u go..we've towed tons of sleds like that, hundreds of miles...nobody needs to be sucking fumes on the towed sled and u can fly...soooo much better than any other method...it also greatly saves the wear and tear on the belt of the sled doing the towing since your one solid unit.. u can get away with using just your waist belt if necessary..

    Love my XTX with the Star kit. Both shocks in rear skid re-valved on mine and with a new spring on front shock in rear skid. Imho you need to do the shocks in the rear skid to optimize the Star KiT. 46,000km on mine. For me it’s the way to go. 

    Thank you! Wow 46000 km... Jeez I don't even drive that in my car! Lol thanks for the feedback! You also have an 18 Apex? How do you like compared to earlier models? I can't find one anywhere! :/
