I always wondered if people in Canada put their sleds in a garage/ heated shed (or in their living room), so they could get them started in the morning - I guess Skidoo owners up there don't have to ;)
My 800 etec starts at that in C but not F and it certainly grumbles about and takes like 4 tries before stays running. Hoping also the 850 is a bit better, certainly not roping over mine at -25F. Likely that isolfex doesn't help when cold and just using the thinner full synthetic XPS on the whole crank would help. It pours pretty decent at -30F even, much better than the semi they discontinued. They stroked the 850 so that should make harder to turn over unless beefed up starter but battery had same CCA and that sounded much better than my 800 when started. Anyways cheers to not jumping it off the truck!
I have a 800 and sometimes it does. 4 jumps off truck this year, even with new battery. So bahhh to that theory! Old F7's they all fired right up, 2 pulls as always. Those smokey old cats start in the cold but ride like crap.
Extreme cold start for me would be -50 up in northern Canada ...i no etecs dont like -40..I have a couple friends with etecs and they have trouble at that temperature ..our polaris yoyaguer and tundra 550s start better in the cold then the etecs..my one buddy has to put a hair dryer in engine compartment for over an our
Got to love those E-tecs, the most advanced 2 stroke engines in snowmobiling today.
Yes! For sure!
Honestly the most impressive part was that the battery wasn’t dead.
Not a surprise there ski doos, run like a top in any weather condition. Made in Canada!! Key
I agree!! 🇨🇦
Fondly remember the bitter cold mornings pulling over a V-Max 4. Not being a big guy, it was.....fun.
I liked the starting of the Snowmobiles in real cold temperatures.
Thanks!
+RICHARD maaske Its a great sound
Crisp
I like a older Artic Cat, nice smoke show!
Love that hockey rink !
Oh yeah it totally started right away

It gets colder than this up in Canada. Those really cold nights, we can take the battery out and keep it in the hotel room or cottage for the night.
I live in the arctic and -55C without windchill is not uncommon. Skidoo is the brand of choice and they start
New sleds they should start. Try pull starting a 1998 583 mxz in that cold. That would be a good video.
New sleds are harder starting trust me
Worse yet a 670, you will separate your shoulder
My 583 always started in two pulls..
It all how you prime it.

850 is better
Did you get that sled from the loiselle sports in Gatineau?
nice! ça démarre aussi facilement que mon ktm 300xc 2017 @ 20 degrés!
I started my 850 country x at -40 this year
+Howard Girodat Yes i think they beef up the starter this year
Etecs start awesome in the cold
+Cory Coulter indeed
+Cory Coulter -40 its starts
4 Season Bros I have a 1200 4tec and it likely wouldn't start in that cold of weather
+Cory Coulter my father has one and suprisingly it does

I have the 2017 Renegade X 850.....love it! Btw where did you get the custom registration number?
