Ski Doo 800 etec TNT

[dickmsp]

what dealer??? I want one!

That's a little more than I was quoted for a 2013 GSX SE 1200 out-the-door. Don't know what an 800 would be as I didn't ask, but I guess it can't hurt to call. If you're interested PM me and I'll send you the dealer's name.

Hey Russholio, what dealer gave u that price? That's the air suspension GSX SE 1200, right? Dang!! I've wanted the air suspension ever since i test drove the prototype '08 silver 2-up GTX SE!!! I was chikin of the delicate little air compressor and air lines 1/2" away from drive belt, but they put compresser farther away from the drive belt now, and the 2013's have a beefier clutch designed for the 4 stroke torque.. Dang.. How many months till winter again??? Thanks in advance!!

ok, so I ended up buying both the 600 and the 800, I also decided to get the electric start for myself as I will be turning 50 in october, lol. Now not to open a can of worms here, but the dealers says there running full synthetic oil verus what i was told befor of semi syn. I also told him I had 6 gallons of VES Gold plus and he said that would be fine as well. Are you guys/gals running semi or full syn and what types.

thanks

Fatdaddy,

I am running full-sythetic in my 800 etec.. I didn't even go through 1.5 gallons on my first 525 miles... and I thought it would go through alot more during break-in period. Etecs are incredible and I don't think I want to mess around changing up oils to save a "couple" bucks a year... you can buy in bulk from Olson Powersports in Northbranch. Good guys up there...

Probably a good call on the electric start for us "older" guys...LOL

Same story here from Snell Powersports in Mankato. Bought an 800 etec in Feb. and they said to use the full synthetic also. buy one jug of the yellow good stuff and most dealers sell it in bulk to save a little the next time you need more.

Do you guys know what the sleds came with, I'm thinking semi syn, I was kinda thinking of staying with what it was shipped with. Also when you guys say your buying bulk are you bringing over a five gallon jug and buying it that way or just 3 gallons to a case. I use to buy arctic cat oil by the five gallons, the dealer pumped it out of a 55 gallon drum. Also are you running Doo oil or somethine eles?
