Hello,
I have copied/pasted the most recent info from the Ski-Doo Facebook page from today (please forgive me Mr. Dee) as it is very important to those who Spring ordered one.



We know some of you are still anxiously awaiting delivery of your 2017s, particularly Spring trail models, and we are working hard to get them to you very soon.

Approximately 80% of MXZ and Renegade X sleds are built and we will complete production of the final 20% in the next 10 days. Our shipping team is making every effort to get them to you as soon as possible. Our goal is to have every 2017 (including non-Spring models) shipped out by Christmas, which is still on target with our original commitment to your dealers in February.

We absolutely understand your frustration with deliveries of Spring order models in December, especially with snow falling. Designing, calibrating, testing and manufacturing a new platform and new engine simultaneously (both requiring new manufacturing techniques), plus a commitment to the highest quality vehicles, pushed REV Gen4/850 E-TEC production to the very end of the 2017 run.
While some of you are waiting longer than you – and we – would like, we're confident you're getting the best Ski-Doo snowmobile we have ever produced and it will be worth the wait. We appreciate your patience.


FYI; this is bogus dude!

850's were originally (WAY back in March) supposed to deliver in December. ALL dealers were told that at Club, ALL dealers were aware of this prior to spring fever. If your dealer did not disclose that to you, that is an issue you, as a customer and a consumer should discuss with your dealer. Do not blame BRP.

fuji; your post is bogus

I think a lot of upset people wouldn't be quite as upset if Ski-doo hadn't said this was such a limited build and you can walk into most dealerships and buy a sled off the showroom floor before they were getting there snow checked sleds. That is bogus...

I agree. Checkout Ski-Doo's social website and there are hundreds of gripes with Ski-Doo answering a random few.
One additional problem is the Dealers MAY have been told Mid-December delivery by BRP but the buyers were NOT given a date last March/April and expect a pre-ordered sled before December 1.

Could be those of you who are waiting will be better off if design flaws went out with the sleds some of you claim are at dealerships.

If you look at the Lake Gogebic cam, it looks like Mark at Timberline is getting some 850's in. :) There is a whole semi-load of SkiDoo's.

Ezra is wise.

The Ski-doo F.B. site has 100's of similar complaints, great marketing plan.
It's interesting seeing customers complain in four different languages.

I was told mine will be in this week too, hopefully by Friday AM with the Green Bay area snow announced.
For whatever reasons, the ADR 850 Renegade seems to be last.

Anyone who has an 850 before you ride it make sure you take the belt off and clean the clutches and belt. They have a light weight oil caked on them. This is a big factor why some are having belt issues I think.

Other than that WOW, if you didn't order one make sure you get a chance to ride one. This thing has upped the ante.

Thanks MoMoney for the follow-up advice, I asked.
The Green Bay Dealer told me my 850 ADR is in. They said they always wipe the clutches with Acetone as a precaution and the coolant burp is complete.
8AM Saturday is pick up time.

Be sure to check it after you ride too as it will keep slinging it everywhere. My dealer cleaned mine as well but still all over even after first ride. Inside belt guard. I also removed the matted board inside the guard to help cool clutches better.

Are you guys getting the A-thought brackets to keep your feet from unsafely leaving the footwells when ridden aggressively?
