I listened to a Ski-Doo Q&A yesterday and this question was asked. They said that the lower powered 600 EFI in the Neo models would NOT be able to reprogrammed for higher power.

Didn't you get a new Doo this year? Why renting?

Hmmm that seems like a really poor move on their part to do that, but I bet the aftermarket will pick it up. Probably don't want to flat out tell people that so they buy the higher priced Sport models.

Funny story sounds like a dipschit. I can see it now alla the ski doopeys posing at the cross roads playing with their screens and blocking the trail.

Fuji’s usually too afraid to lose money on his sleds so he sells them before he rides them

The “higher priced sport model” is still a bargain for what it is.
22's came in in November when I was still living in TRF, MN so I sold them.
Moved back to Green Bay a few weeks back and wanted to ride with Polaris Dan so rented..good time. Rode from Watersmeet to Copper Harbor with all loops over 1.5 days.
No stop at Bear Belly, sad.

So are you going with a Poo in 23? Perhaps that trip sold you on a Poo, eh?
No.
I did like the Poo 650 motor up to 70MPH though, the shared stroke with their 850 shows.
One odd thing though, when coming off throttle from anything above 50MPH to a stop you get a single backfire (like a carbed motor) as you coast down to 10MPH, seems like the EFI has not been as finely tuned as can be leaving some efficiency on the table. My MPG experience was 15.2 when an 850 Doo can do 20% better than that.
Last note; I would buy a 650 Poo over an 800 from 2 years ago, the 650 is a happy humming motor compared to the 800.

MPG difference is due to Poo 650 is a SDI, 850 Doo is a full DI.
Abe,
I just noticed the new Doo gauge is $1,200 (about $1,104 after discount).
No way for me, I must say the new Poo gauge is better as you don't need a cell phone attached to run GPS.

Good write up on the 650, causing me to continue to contemplate if i want to keep mine, if i ever get it! I snowchecked one in March 2021 with a late March 2022 delivery, supossedly. What a joke.
Currently have 4 Doo's 2019 and newer, and wanted to see what a Polaris would be like after last owning one in 2005. Currently 3 850's and 1 600efi Sport, so thought the 650 would be a fun option and offer some variety, and I could move one of the 850's. Due to the Polaris delivery FAILURE, had to buy an in season 22 850 TNT. Dealer felt bad, and gave me a good deal, which I appreciate. Over 1100 flawless miles with only the DESS missing.
NO issues with any of the other Doo's I have had over the past 16 years.
Priced 23 Doo snowchecks out, Blizzard...not as bad as I thought due to limited allowance to dealers. No way as good as prior snowcheck discounts, but not MSRP either. And, used sled prices are crazy!
Fortunate and good problems to have, but just not sure about taking delivery of the 22 (or whatever) Polaris 650. And, certainly do not believe all that is written and posted on the internet, but seems like 22 Polaris sleds have a bunch of issues....quality control, fit, finish, etc....

I would keep it, and if nothing else, you can probably sell it for a profit. I received my 650 in early January and 700 trouble free miles so far. No problems with quality or fit and finish. I feel it is the best fit and finish yet for Poo. The motor continues to impress me and really pulls hard!!

I get it. I'd be livid if I was in your shoes!
Its on there. Click MXZ then it is the middle model between X - RS and Sport.
Okay, I hadn't looked at MXZ's. I'm interested in a 129 skid?
The Blizzard is a 129.
I considered it but it is only $50 less than the Renegade X 850.
