Throttle thumb on ski doo 600 rotax
- Thread starter Garrett
- Start date
Looking to get the wife a used sled. Was looking at Ski doo 600 mxz. How is the thottle on these compared to Polaris 600s. Or are all these carb sleds the same for throttle thumb issues.
Thanks
Yes, the carb throttle pull is harder than EFI.
If she never plans to go over 60 get a Doo 600 ACE, very lite throttle pull, great gas mileage, no smoke, dependability and good resale.

What don't you understand? Maybe I can spell it out.What?
it is harder but like anything you get use to it .
if going mxz I would do the Indy with efi also thong to think about is the high hanging rpm when stopping with that sled . I tinkered with it for a season and gave up and just chock it down at long stops . i wanted a 136 pretty much only reason i went with the doo sport for the second sled . it has been pretty bullet proof. and rode pretty good stock . I tossed some used x package shocks in it and will prob run it till it is dead at this point .
but again carbs are what they are and you need to be willing to deal with more than a sore thumb

I have 2 E-tec's and 2 carbs (2014 ski doo 600 and 2018 Polaris 550). The carbs may have a little more resistance but the difference is negligible and doesn't impact riding at all.
My what was for the fi respone.
All good. Thanks
The FI means "Fuel Injection", eh. What ever kind of fuel injection, throttle bodies have easy thumb throttle push.

Pretty much the way it is. FI sleds feather touch.
Yes and No.
Surely easier with FI, but the Poos for years (until electronic oil pump) had a bad rap for hard thumb pull on FI, due to being connected to the oil pump as well as throttle plates.
When changed to electronic oil pump, was supposed to ease up on the thumb fatigue issue

Opps, I didn't realize that. Our Doo SDI's don't have that issue.

What year did Polaris start using the electronic oil pump?
I think 15 on the 800's. Not sure if 600's switched over then, or a year or two later.

A lot a time the real issue is just having your hand in that unusual position for a long period a time and not so much the amount a pressure especially if you don't have a everyday job where your hands are worked out.

Saw a 2019 Indy for sale with 7600 miles. How is that possible on a 2019?
All last season and up till now this season.
Sounds like it got ridden like XCR440 rides. He's got almost 6k miles so far this season, he might get to that number in one season.

A 600 has a electric pump 2015 on?

No the 2016 600 got it.
