Hmm interesting! Just took a look at that. So it was available on renegade 137 850s last year but not on 129 mxz 850s. Weird. Now its only available on renegade again but renegade is only 4 stroke. Cheers, Jesse
You are correct! I knew that but for some reason didn't actually mention it in the video because I was too excited about the adjustability of the lever lol. Cheers, Jesse
Why dont you just stud the 1.5 ripper with 96 1.625 inch studs. I ride that set up and I love it. If you ride big miles you traverse alot of weather. I find the 1.5 to be the sweet spot IMO
I used to run the 1.5 ripsaw - I am not a fan of prestudded tracks. How I look at it is if I'm going to stud it why would I pay more for a prestudded track? For me its more so that Ski-Doo didn't offer a 1.5 ripsaw. If they did I would have gotten it. Cheers, Jesse
@@KliqDon1983 tunnel protection only comes factory installed if you option the sled with a prestudded track. When I am paying big $$ on a sled, I want it to perform how I want that's why I swap the track. Knowing I wanted a 2 ply track which ski-doo doesn't offer, I ordered it with the prestudded that way it would come with the tunnel protectors so it would be one less thing for me to install. Also.. our buddy does the track swap for us and sells my track for me so I hardly pay anything besides the labour to swap the track and install my studs. Cheers, Jesse
Sweet ride for sure. Are you getting the new Ice Scratchers (made for Smart Shocks) that fit at the front, rather than the back ? Am going to replace my current ones to the ones that fit at the front on my 2022 900 turbo r.
I just added the new LED signal kit to my 2024 MXZ XRS 137. Brilliant idea from BRP!!! The LED's are super bright. Super easy install but don't forget the small spacers for the caps...
Yes I get that I'm met a guy onthe trail with 30000 on one no problems with it so was just wondering if it was a seal gone the oil pump quit or an injector went bad
@@toddyuill3924 I'm not actually too sure to be honest. I never followed up as I had already sold it and it got a new crate motor. It was definitely the top end that went as it never locked up and I could still ride it the 10 km home sounding like it was on one cylinder. Wouldn't go into reverse. Cheers, Jesse
Thanks good to know the guy that bought my last one blew the motor at 19000 so it's looking like maybe should put piston and rings in around 16000 if you are hard on it
Regardless of what most people think, your sled will handle better with the standard fixed riser. Everyone runs the FAR too far forward. Your dealer has your sleds bars set perfectly right now inline with the steering post.
Hey Scott! Interesting.. I usually ride the FAR in the mid position. I move it forward mostly in real tight and twisties when trying to keep a pace. I've gone back and forth between other XRS's and X's with fixed risers and I find myself I much prefer the FAR and my sled handles great for me. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz Its the same as bar risers. There is a lot of physics in play with where your handlebar is set in place. Its funny. I took the FAR off my 23 and I was happy to see it gone for MY24. As long as you like it, thats all that matters but give it a try with the fixed steering mount before you make a final decision.
A little off topic but....have you guys talked about booking Vince Roy's A-frame on the French River? A collaboration video would be AWESOME with Beaver Tail Toys 😊
That would be awesome! I have seen Vince's place and it looks beautiful. Our seasons are usually so busy that I can't promise it but we can definitely add it to the list. Cheers, Jesse
Thanks Andy! Lots more to come over the next month or so. Install videos on some accessories, some unique parts, and then a video on our must have accessories. Cheers, Jesse
Hey Kevin. We don't drink the kool-aid over here. We went into all of that last season. Check mikes videos on his 23 gen5 xrs where he talks about the major differences from the gen4. Cheers, Jesse
Did you move the 3rd idler wheel to the inside or are they coming like that now on the smart shox? I had moved mine to the inside on my 23, my ocd couldn’t take it!
Forward Adjustable Riser was removed on the 23 MXZ models also.

It’s not just the brake lever. It’s also a 4 piston brake caliper. That gives you less brake fade and smoother / stronger brake application.

@@sledaddicz tunnel protection comes factory installed. And you don't have to do a track swap which costs time and money

Yup we already have them. Just gotta install them. Cheers, Jesse
More info on the Smart Shock ice scratchers please. Who makes them ?
The Forward adjustable riser gets sloppy if you ride hard
Never noticed that on my 22 and I ride pretty hard. That sled had 17,000 kms on it when I sold it last season
@@sledaddiczI had 2 replaced under Warranty because of it, I think you would like a fixed Riser if you pound the bumps!
@@chrismcgraw3042it's funny because I do pound bumps like crazy lol and never had that happening. Interesting. Thanks for the insight!

Hey Norman! Ya its an awesome piece of tech from BRP and we will have a video coming out on it shortly. Cheers, Jesse
Did you ever find out why last years 850 blew up?
Ya.. it had 17,000 kms on it lol

Are you expecting to get more riding in this year even with med school still going?
Beautiful looking sled, looking forward to videos on the trail.
Hope do! I'm really busy with med school so I'm not sure how much time I'll have for riding this season. Cheers, Jesse
Good walk around!
Thanks Andy! Lots more to come over the next month or so. Install videos on some accessories, some unique parts, and then a video on our must have accessories. Cheers, Jesse
After the kool-aid has settled in your tummies, what are the actual differences between gen 4 and gen 5? Headlights and Tupperware?
Hey Kevin. We don't drink the kool-aid over here. We went into all of that last season. Check mikes videos on his 23 gen5 xrs where he talks about the major differences from the gen4. Cheers, Jesse
Can that brake lever be put on a 2022 model?
I assume so. Can't see why not. Cheers, Jesse
Hello Jesse. Thanks for the video, appreciate it! Can you tell me who makes the tunnel top protecter you have installed? Thanks!
This is made by Skidoo. Cheers, Jesse
Thanks.
Did you move the 3rd idler wheel to the inside or are they coming like that now on the smart shox? I had moved mine to the inside on my 23, my ocd couldn’t take it!
I didn't touch the idler wheel so I guess they moved it. My OCD wouldn't have been able to handle that either lol. Cheers, Jesse
The rear part of the seat looks like Ace frehley makeup
LOL
@@sledaddiczI’m trying to figure out what that means
@b.pur9981 look it up 😊
