Will watch this later but quick suggestion, can you post a technical trail riding video? For those that want to ride better (read: quicker) trail braking, weight transfer, enter/exit corners, throttle management, you some of the stuff you do when you’re really pushing. Obviously everyone needs to ride right and ride their own sled but some tips would be cool to hear. You and the south side guy haul….voice over trail videos would be cool. Or just a convo in the shop on the sled….
yea i can do something like that! thanks for that
Excellent idea :). WOuld luv to see that please please please
Hey jumping on the "great idea" bandwagon here...I would love to see this.
Glad to see you got it out on snow! The tug is getting socked with snow as we speak!
i know i should be there!!!!
That sled is gorgeous!! Reminds me of my 1993 Indy Storm!!
Thats what we copied from!! Thank you!
Any more news on throttle hang solutions? My VR1 boost is doing it at low speeds only but bad spots and still makes you want to grab some brake. A guy up here in Maine told me his came out of it after about 500 miles. Thanks for the great vids! You need to come ride in Maine!!
nothing from Polaris yet. Will from Velocity Sled Performance has a clutch kit ready to improve the sled all around and says it helps the throttle hang by 98%. so i would give him a shout
Great you got it out. My ‘23 XCR has 50 miles on it! Coming alive nicely.
i saw it out there!!
Lol I like playing with the throttle too. I like hearing the engine wind up,the adrenaline boost when accelerating from corner to corner.
you know it!
Glad you were able to get out and try your new sled! I was able to get my '23 Renegade Enduro out for an 80 mile jaunt in MN Saturday. Keep up the good work young man!
Thank you i appreciate that!! Enjoy riding!
Ride with Brett all the time, thats our home trails
hes a good guy!!!
This video got me super excited! I'm about 35 mins from Black Forrest if you are ever interested in hooking up and riding up there. Couple of my friends went up yesterday for 90 miles. You're always welcome
thank you for that! Maybe one day i will take you up on that!
@@JESSEJAMES322 Be pretty cool if you Did
My brothers old Xcr 850 did the same thing where it kept accelerating after the throttle was let off. Made it feel like a death machine.
i never had that on the NA sleds but Will said it was possible for them also
@@JESSEJAMES322 i think he said updated tune fixed it but i only rode it once and said f that thing after that.
I’m loving the Nike boots, where did you get them?
they are vans actually! and I got them online
For my assault this year I just installed elka stage 5 and man what a difference. If yoh ever get a chance to try a set do it, best setup I've ever had hands down.
its crossed my mind. we like to get these Walkers to work because thats was 99% of people have and thats what Bruce can help people with
Awesome! We have quite a bit more snow up here in Manitoba at the moment. No trails are open yet though. Took my 23 VR1 for its first ride yesterday. Do you also get a bunch of snow getting in behind the 7s? If so have you figured out a way to stop it?
this is my third sled with the 7S and yes you get snow behind them. Have to reseal the gauge with something else. i never found it to be horrible
I will let you know if and when Lake Wallenpaupack has good safe conditions. It’s a great spot for top speed runs when the conditions are right. You can let that baby eat!
yes please let me know!
put 120 miles on my boost today, Absolutely love it. Throttle hang was pretty bad. would hold 5500 rpm for a good 30 seconds or more, felt like cruise control, and definitely need to start work on the suspension. at 220 lbs thinking ill need the extra HD torsions. You using polaris hd springs or aftermarket?
yea the throttle hang is definitely a thing. we us polaris HD springs. I made another video of suspension tuning that may help but you are definitely going to want HD springs
@JESSEJAMES322 Actually ordered a set of the trap springs from Southside. after watching your other videos the trap made more sense.
Jesse - your videos are super narley. I have a brand new VR1 that just hit a 100 miles, are you familiar with the ECM going out on this machine?
Thank you and what do you mean ECM going out? im not sure i understand
Come over to Savoy, MA, Jesse 20 minutes from north adams and we have between 1 1/2 and 2 feet now!
will most likely be there tomorrow
PA riding nice. Are your coupling blocks both set the same looked different positions on video
nope theyre the same!
My assault boost does that weird throttle hang to, im curious if that was normal as well let me know what your guy says about it
seems like its a thing for sure. will let everyone know when i find out!
My boost does that also !, any further info?
You got me beat for first shake down ride of the season !
i wanted to be the first one on the snow!!
Damn I'm jealous! We got a little snow here in lower Michigan, not really enough to ride though :-( What C&A's are those ? Did you custom cut them to a point ? Looks badass! I just put some XCS's on my sled, can't wait to see how they handle. I've run RZ's and XPT's on my 2016 Cat zr 8000, each having different characteristics for sure. I'm hoping these XCS's aren't too aggressive .
these are XCS's. they are definitely a hand full at slower sppeeds but i am ok with that. i want them to turn when i want them to turn!
@@JESSEJAMES322 Good to know, can't wait to try it out! Drives me nuts when the sled pushes in the corners. My first experience switching from the junk ass stock ski's to the RZ's I was blown away on the improvement in cornering, almost zero push in the corners!!! Thanks Bro 🙂
I have a 23 boost 129, I am coming off a 21 850 VR1 129. I am 250lbs without gear. I added the heavy torsion springs and made a huge difference on my 21, but I was still bottoming hard. would you recommend a Twisted dual rate front track spring and a revalve to solve this issue?
yessir that would do it! The valving is much too soft. If you keeo going through my videos you will see that i have all 4 valved and what a difference it makes!
@@JESSEJAMES322 beautiful! thanks for steering me in the right direction!
Definitely following I felt the same throttle hang going into the turns. And very tippy feel
no answer just yet but working on it!
You guys here of any 7s displays going into dim mode? I have a 23 boost. They have fed it 3 displays. Every one is going into dim mode. Thought I'd ask.
yes i have seen them but normally they put a new gauge in and thats it. so you've put 3 gauges in and they all went dim?
@JESSEJAMES322 I recommended the tech put a display from a new one to test. Thinking the 7s displays the dealer stocked from last year were just a bad batch. He swapped hoods with a new boost last night and no issue. He's going to run it longer. These displays he's putting in go dim in 2 mins of operation. He's been in contact with polaris. I have a trip planned tomorrow so I hope it gets resolved.
My vr1 boost seems to do the same thing right after lifting off the gas too. For just that extra second it seems it's still wanting to pull.
Will from Velocity said it has to do with the smart boost. he is working on some clutching to help this
Put 65 miles on my 129 boost! It's got some great power. Adjusted front shocks for cornering. Definitely will be getting those HD torsion springs, it bottoms out really easy. You ever want to come to Wisconsin and ride with some hard core trailer riders let me know!
Hey Paul i will let you know for sure! To get these to wokr right they need serious valving done and springs all the way around. In my opinion they're so far in left field its crazy
@@JESSEJAMES322 C&A skis are on, front shocks are turned down for some ski pressure which it helped, it turned really good for the most part. Valve adjustments were working great, could really feel the change when making adjustments. I did not touch the center shock for added ski pressure, since there is not much to play with. Definitely going to pick those HD torsion springs up tomorrow and start with that. Never did much re-valving, not sure who I could get to do those without losing time on the trails.
Bruce from southside gets them turned around right away. he understand the season is short so he wastes no time in getting them done. if you were to do it i would send them to him
Hey Jesse, i watch and enjoy your videos. I am a fairly new rider, and wonder if you could do a video with tips and tricks.
on the list of to does!!
@@JESSEJAMES322 Thanks brother! I really appreciate what you do for the community.
I got my first test and tune today,Those trap springs are the 💩!! I also used the 18 XCR front track spring 95/300 and it's amazing 👍👍
you liked them? thats good news and thats a good FTS spring
Quick question. What did you use to paint the windshield?
just standard black paint but i go over all of it in this video

@@JESSEJAMES322 thanks bud
I’ve always thought suspension is too soft from factory. I know you haven’t ridden much but wondering if you notice a difference without the tipped rails?
i do not believe i will notice a big difference. ive run the 129/137 before and never really notice a difference. as far as it being too soft they are 1000% too soft from factroy
@@JESSEJAMES322 You knew it was going to be too soft you and Bruce will have it dialed in no time.
Yea we did but since I’m first on snow I had to try It out stock but boy are they off. I’ll be at Southside tomorrow getting the goods
Rode one yesterday at tug hill. Guy wanted to try my lynx so we swapped for 10 miles. It was pretty damn quick. But i did also notice the throttle hang myself i wasnt sure exactly if it was normal since i only rode it a short time. Cornered nicely, power was great on the seasonal roads hit 100 no problem. Not a fan of the clutching though. Now the bad....there were 5 polaris boosts broke down yesterday. 4 had belts off and had low to no compression, sled wouldn't start or run. All 5 were towed out. All were 2023s
throttle hang has been confirmed by my performance guy. all of them will have them in the rigght scenario. he is working on clutching and tuning to try and eliminate that. But yes they are quick!
Pics or it didn't happen.
@@brandonminick9310 it definitely happened 5 times to be exact
Just curious,, Why no tether? I know it doesnt come with it.
i used to always have one. then i had one on my XCR last year and i never used it. i should have one but
Let me know on the throttle lag issue. I one that does it and one that does not and I don't like it.
working on it!
Saw the old forge Webb trail permit on the v Max
oh yea shes been around the block!
Looks sweeeeet!!! Tug hill bound tomaro can't wait!!!
be there monday!
Looking forward to riding over Christmas
me too!
BOOST WHEELIEEES!😍❄️😍❄️😍❄️ I want mine😭😭😭😭😭
i want you to have yours!!!
@@JESSEJAMES322 My VR1 Boost still says january ship dates🥲🥲
Awesome 1995 graphics palette
thank you!
Sorry for the late, I just watched your video. I can say the VR 1. 650 had a horrible secondary set up from the factory. Felt like it was in high gear going and coming out of a corner. North star performance set up the sled, and now it acts like it should.
alot was left on the table with clutching!
Also sweet wrap sled looks cool as shit
thank you! very happpy with it
I want the details on that vmax lol I got a 2002 one I'd like to get extended and better suspension
99vmax 700, stock rear skid with tracks USA 144” extension kit (rails + tunnel) stock track off a nytro xtx. Seat from an fx nytro, 2” riser (stock cables) fox float 2’s up front from an fx Phazer. Made brackets for upper shock mount. Rides awesome for a small $$$ sled.
Brett with the quick answer!
@@brettpeters2306 awesome thanks! Was looking at putting a skidoo renegade skid in mine
You had your torsion Springs on the softest settings. And you say you bottomed out. 😳 What would Bruce say. SMH.
Wouldn’t have made one bit of difference. This was a test for valving. There literally wasn’t one bump so even on the softest setting I shouldn’t have been anywhere near bottoming
Sounds good
it does.
What do you think vs your xcr
too soft but my XCR was too soft in stock form also
Looks good on the snow!!
thank you i love it on the snow!
Who is Will?
Will from Velocity Sled Performance. He is who i am partnered with for performance goodies this year!
That is how you are supposed to break a sled in!!!
you know it!!
Looks a lot like Promised Land State Park
thats where it is
@@JESSEJAMES322 😉 I hike and ride mtn bikes there! I live about 20 minutes away by Lake Wally. That’s where I ride my ’01 SRX when it’s safe and the surface is good.
Two strokes do pull and pull and then they blow..
ok
Not broke in yet lol
gotta break in it somehow.
Love your colors JJ
Did u ever figure out the throttle hang? Kuz almost every boost owner is experiencing the same thing. Polaris tells me it's its my powervalve cable sticking on my 23 vr1 boost
no it has to do with the smartboost dumping all the back pressure in the head pipe and then that creates a vacuum and it pulls air past the throttle blades. Velocity sled performance has a clutch kit (i just ran it this weekend) and it didnt do it once. not to mention the clutch kit was light years better then stock
@JESSEJAMES322 so what your saying is I just paid $33,000 for a sled that now I have to spend more money on to fix myself? Wtf!!!
I agree 100%
