  3. New Doo ride - ETec or 4 stroke?

    in General Discussion

    Found this video on u tube, test ride of the 2009 skidoo rev xp 4-tec 4 stroke at the swift diamond riders snodeo in march of 2008.

    It gives you a good sound of the motor.

    At the end of the video, I hear the rider say something about thinking 2 seconds ahead with the throttle?

    I knew there was something different how a 4 stroke response, is it engine breaking, or out of the hole.?

    Was not sure on the rer on the 4 stroke, maybe pre ignition would make it run backwards :wacko:

    Yea, you don't want to have to use the rer if you are in a hurry thats for sure, I found out the hard way.

    I had a 01 Grand touring with the 800 tripple, P-tec and the rer.

    The rer in that was much quicker, and all the lights stayed on while it was dooing it's thing, I thought it was pretty cool.

    Thanks GW

    Great feedback GKW. :good:

    After riding with all you Yammy guy's last month, I realy started thinking 4 stroke.

    I had rode the 08 TNT and GSX 600's, and for me, they would not work for touring at all, great ditch bangers for sure!

    Maybe because they was short tracks?

    When I got home I went online Skidoo.comand noticed they will have the 4 tec in a Renagade.

    You can also hear the sound of the motor on there web site, it sounds good. Pretty sure this will be my next ride.

    As for being a bit heavier, that would not bother me at all.

    Also I just got the 09 riding gear catolog, you can get heated seat cover for the XP's for 300 bucks!

    Bombardier has really been working hard in the past years with new innovations

    I agree 100% they keep on pushing the evelope!

    I did not ride today as we are heading for home Thursday. When we are here for 8+ weeks it takes a while to pack up. It takes us 2 days to do it. It has been a wonderful season. I really enjoyed meeting all of the QR members. Snowmobilers have to be the best group of people in the world. I also want to thank all you who bought your passes off me this year. I can only say a big THANK YOU for doing that. Please make plans to attend our Summer Gathering on July 18 and 19.

    Bill, in my opinion, we should be thanking you, you make time, and help everyone in need! :drinks::good:

    Thanks Bill.

    Hey Daryl, nice meeting and riding with you. That happened our trip in January. First I've seen the picture also.

    The banks are fine with the Yammies, but they have a hard time climbing trees. Maybe a Cat would be better.

    Bruce.

    Thanks Bruce, will hook up again next season with you guy's. I wish I had more time off this season, I would go again in a heartbeat!

    Hey GTSE800, I am sure you will get a chance next time we meet up at the HI. Glad to meet you and looking forward to seeing next year. Good riding with you.

    Same here, looking forward to it for sure! :good: And welcome to quebecrider.com

    I seen the picture that 182ray posted of the sideways Yammie, did that just happen.

    Your smileing, so that's good. I had asked Gerry (GKW) if they tipped easy when riding on the side of a bank, like the doo zx's did. I guess so ay?

    Hey Bill, made it back to camp around 6:30 today.

    Had a great time riding with you and all the new people I met.

    Did Gerry make it back from QC ok with his truck and trailer? I dropped him off there at 12:30 today.

    Ask him how his brother liked using the heated coat.

    Also tell Scot, I wish I did try out his Yammi yesterday, they start up real nice when its cold out, it might be my next sled .

    ps

    Lot of sleds didn't want to start this morning

    I think Sandy and Judy did not want the sleds to start today. :D Its was Brrrrr. cold!

    That's trail 93 on the way to Monts Valin, right? If so, one side is ATV and the other is snowmobile if I recall.

    Correct! :good: we did go through some corners that thy had a burm in the center to keep people on there side of the trail.

    We broke the group in two today.

    Here are a few pic's from today.
