My 2014 Skidoo has been in the garage for a few years.. Now as I get older I was willing to pay the ridiculous price for the auxiliary lighting . Now the Local Dealer told me it has been discontinued .. and the latest price is around $400.00 and I thought $300.00 was an extreme price. Thank goodness the aftermarket makes taller windshield for my Gen III sled..
The problem with bombardier is when they reach the 10 year legal minimum they stop producing parts, after that it's after market of you get lucky, or junk yards. The fam had 6 of them, no more, as you've experienced its too easy to have one hung up in the garage for a couple of years with really low mileage and not be able to get parts for a perfect sled.
@@elusiveone7273 My 2006 Yamaha Attack has 3,800 miles with a Broken Skid. I have a new Diamond air skid to install but have not installed it yet. Other than a Weak skid the Yamaha's are really tough .. It weighs 185# more then the skidoo does.. Thus the Skidoo can be more fun to ride. All the same.. I probably will keep the Yamaha going for many years.. I spread lime with a 1968 FWD Truck that I restored and re-powered with a turbo diesel cat engine.. I had to buy several more FWD parts trucks just to keep it going..
Why does the skid plate STILL not go far enough down the sled to cover the area that sticks out for the brake rotor? I have seen several cases of people hitting a bump and denting that area and the skid plate doesn't help because it doesn't cover it. Arctic Cat is behind the times with their sleds compared to you and Polaris yet their skid plates DO cover this section of the bottom!
Biggest gripe about this chassis,those two lumps beneath the tunnel.Second day on my new 2017 MXZX 850 and i dented the brake side on a rock(Same part of the trail i rode over many years on polaris and yamaha sleds with no issue).Only solution is to install the RPM composite guards(Pricey but worth ever penny for piece of mind) 😊
That wouldn't make it new and exciting, or functional for that matter, besides they want to sell you a new belly pan for that "snowplow" called ski doo.
I thought $300.00 was way too much for the "LED floodlight " add on light in 2014.. Their last listed price is $400.00 but now I am told the part has been discontinued.. I just added an actual windshield to my sled made by Power Modd .. so much easier to stay warm now .. I almost always go for aftermarket parts when I can get them
Why can't you design skid plates that match the color of the sled?? By the time you design the color matching skid plate the sled is already a year old. SMH 😦
Too bad the 10" screen simply isn't available at all, the 7.8 only available for the 900 ace . So for my brand new spring order 23 xrs 850 the "ONLY" screen I can get is the little 7.2". Uuuugh!!!!!
can’t wait for gen 5 backcountry
Glad you announced these but is there any chance we get 2022 ATVs before 2023 sleds?
In Europe.

These sleds look amazingly like my sons 900 fusion. Congrats skippidy doo, you just reverse engineered a sled.
Comparing this to that turd of a sled fusion? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@fnatomagan yeah, isn't it amazing how low bomb-er- yah, had to go? AND it's still a pig on skis.
Hey Specialist lower the f***ing price tags on the accessories.
Good luck with that.
@@roller_47 yeah well until then they won't sell any new accessories to me, I'll just check out the used market if I need anything.
That's the part they find "new and exciting" this sport is being transformed into a joke.
