Ordered an Expedition with a 900 Ace in March and it finally arrived. Can’t wait to pick it up!
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
Looks like my grand touring. Love it
What a machine. Might have to get one
I think I know what sled I’ll be buying! Been debating this one forever-your video helped me with my decision!
Awesome 🙏😎this sled is hard to beat
You will be happy. Gaurenteed.
Can’t wait for mine to come in!! What’s the name/model of the auger holder?
Snow checked a 2024 Expy SE 900 ACE. Already looking forward to sled next sled season! :)
Nice ride Joey 😎
Thanks 😊
très bonne description de ta motoneige
Great review Joey, I’ve watched it a few times since I ordered the exact sled for 2023 and I’m pumped. How did you wire the power for the sonar, and can you tell me the length of the ram mount arm that you used? I assume you just used a U-bolt base to attach to the handlebar riser? Thank you!
Thank you 🙏, so basically I ran the power cord to my unit down the arm, and then to the left side of the machine( when sitting on machine left side) their is a negative and a positive. I just put attached the positive and negative to each of those ports that connect directly to the battery through the machine without having to fish a wire allllll the way to the rear. Worked fine and so far no blown fuses after 1000kms. Length of the Ram mount I believe is the 6inch arm, and is the 3/4inch ball. All it is a U bolt to a little piece of aluminum door hinge on the backside of the handlebar and use lock washers and your good to go!! Might need another person to help you but can be done by yourself also just might take some time.
Thank you!
Literally the perfect setup! Solid 10! Only thing missing is an oven for those panini.
Got one custom made for next season!!
Wrap em in tin foil, open your side panel and wedge it between the muffler and side panel...1/2 hour or so and piping hot.
Hey Joey, really enjoyed the video. I’m digging your rod holders mounted to the bumper, can you give me more info on which rod holders they are and some of the brackets you used?
Thank you 🙏 I believe I linked in one of the comments that asked about them if you scroll through but I’ll try to find them on Amazon
The bracket and rod holders all come in one pack
Ordered a expedition se with ice track so basically already studded from factory and the se includes the box on the back
Also the seat removes on the se model as well not sure about the other models
Will be looking to add the auger holder
Great review
Aweeome you’ll love that machine. Ya this version was just under the SE, but regardless you’ll love the ride 🙏🤙
Nice
Do you have the Amazon link for the auger straps? I can’t find them. Thanks
can you link the auger holders? Does the auger bounce around with those or is it solid?
Absolutely solid doesn’t even move.

Great review. I just snow checked the 2023 LE. Question can ant track be studded like yours or does it require a special track that accepts studs? Thanks
Yes your track will come with pre drilled holes on the Lugs and u can add the same studs like mine to it👍👌
Question 2. A friend of mine has the Expedition sport 900 Ace and finds it tippy on the groomed trail. . Is yours tippy with a 20“ track.
@@brianboudreau6083 yes a Expedition sport will be tippy, my buddy prior to this sled had a 600 ace sport and found it really tippy. However with this new 20” track it is an absolute dream to drive. No tip at all. 👍
Just saw this video, well done! I have a 2021 Expedition SE 900 Ace Turbo. I am looking for Ice Rod holders and noticed you had some mounted on the back.....can you share info on them?
Thank you for the support, that’s a beauty sled you got. Hard to beat the new Ski Doos. Here are the rod holders I have.

@@Joey.T I also added the heated seat, glove box extension with USB plug/heated cell phone display and SB50 storage. Great machine so far!
Nice, got the same sled, same year, only I went for the 600R ETEC. Man does it pull. Lifts the skies at will, up to about 60 or 70+ kph. 146 kph, with a little throttle left. Didn't realize I was doing it until I looked down. Oops.
Where did you get that rod rack?
beautiful rig, i shouldve got the 600 to keep my insurance lower however im not complaining with how much a beast this 900 is also. and i got the rod rack on amazon, if you check some of the comments i believe i attached it there
Really nice setup. Did you install studs on the track? if so what brand? I am thinking of getting the LE and I am being told by the dealer they will not install studs on the factory 1.5" Track.

I basically just ordered a pack like this off Amazon. It wasn’t exactly this pack, but it was a pack of like 1 inch hex nails and I screwed them into the pre drilled holes on the snowmobile track. Works amazing and grips the ice perfect. The track comes pre drilled with holes on the paddles so you can install easily yourself. Just have a tail lift for the sled and you can just install it easy, just don’t over screw them too deep. Hope this helps. Took me about an hour to install like 150-200 studs
Do you think the 24” wide track is too big? I know you have the 20” just curious on your thought! Great vid!
Personally I think the 24 would be too wide for what I need it to do, this sled is the perfect in between for fishing and trail riding, a 24inch track would be too much for what I do. Just my thought plus you’ll be paying a lot more for that wider track comparative to this.
Hey Joey, wondering where you got the mount for the Garmin made. Looking at incorporating that into my ride as well. Any info is appreciated.
Where im from we have a place called radioworld, but they are just called RAM BALL MOUNTS!! Im sure you can order them through amazon or something
That thing is absolutely Bananas 🍌 🔥
Joey T what's up!! Based on how much you fish Simcoe I'm assume you to be a Toronto native. I'm from Cambridge myself. I'm wondering why you prefer a sled over an ATV which can serve useful all year long? Based on my schedule, I aim to fish during week. Maybe I'll see you out there some time.
Born raised in the GTA, however I prefer a sled over ATV because I don’t do any summer activities that would need an atv such as hunting or off-roading.. I’m using my boat at that time. When winter comes I want a machine that will start in -40 without hesitation, and get my through the thickest of snow/slush. I’ve pulled out countless ATVs and UTVs due to slush conditions. Sleds move with less pound per sqft on the ice and snow, and floats ontop of snow better than an atv plowing through it and getting stuck. When it comes to pressure cracks ATVs usually front heavy and fall through, snowmobiles just glide right over as the power lifts the front allowing the skis to safely get over. In my opinion sleds are 100% the ice fishing way to go, however it is only used for winter use and you’ll lose that summer aspect if you hunt or off road activities. All depends what hobbies you like doing, ATVs are all around vehicles but will hinder during ice fishing (it’ll get the job done as it beats walking) but personally I’d never own an atv while ice fishing. Nope this helps
That was very helpful and informative. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Looking forward to watching your upcoming videos. Keep it up, your doing a great job. You content is both informative and fun to watch!! 👏💪
Nice sled. Very good on gas the four strokes 👌. 900 ace is a tank. Never get stuck with mine either.
I think i filled up a total of 5 times this winter for this thing, and I was fishing almost every day. 👍
@@Joey.T what do you think of the extreme 850 turbo? I'm thinking of buying another one or might get the same one 900 ace
@@michaelpanacheese604 Turbo not meant for ice fishing. You’ll blow belts pulling a hut around. If you trail ride only then that’s the sled for you, if you ice fishing look for something that isn’t turbo and more of a working sled like the expedition 600 or 900 ace, or a grand touring non turbo.
@@Joey.T thank you sir. Think I will buy another 900 ace then. But same color as yours
such a sick sled.
Absolutely love it
Where are the relays located
My friend, you may stop putting holes in your huts if you used an auger cover! Bad practice leaving a sharp edge like that exposed.
auger cover always goes on, just didnt put on when making video, was more so just an object to show how i have the snowmobile rigged!! thanks for concern, my hut has no holes in it either, hard to cut holes in the hut with the Kdrill Serrated blades, no live sharp edge exposed with them.
Did you experience any heavy slush with this sled? Just wondering how the 900 would do in those conditions..ant lack of power?
Indeed experienced a ton of slush this year, even had a point where there was maybe 3ft of water ontop of the ice if you look at my shorts you’ll see. No issue what’s so ever, just so much power and high clearance on the front end allows for no build up and the sled just plows through. 👌
3 feet or inches?
Obviously meant to say inches...lol @user-uw7kc9uo2i
@@user-uw7kc9uo2i inches for shure, it will sink in 3 feet :-D
Did you install a tunnel protector when you studded the track , thanks
The first year I had the studs I didn’t but then second year I did install the tunnel protector
Hey Joey can you send link to that auger holder?

Where did you get the rod holders ?

What kind of studs did you put on?
The track comes with pre drilled holes on the lugs, so I just tapped into those holes with these

Very nice. I'm just wondering what the cost of that beauty would be ?
I just snow checked a 2023. 19 500. But the SE has more standard features. Mainly the box on the back is not included on the LE and is on the SE. But try and find an SE is impossible
@@brianboudreau6083 If anyone is looking, I snow checked a 2023 Expedition SE and wont be getting it. 7.8" display.
You won’t be getting it why. Did you cancel it or is it not coming in
@@brianboudreau6083 It is scheduled to come in but I am not sure I want the Turbo R and the 7.8" gauge. Might wait until next year. Still undecided but I will keep you posted if you'd like.
@@markmclean722 Hi Mark, if you do not take that machine, I am in the market for one.
Good review but I can tell how you have your rods mounted that you must not do the same stuff as I do in the north or you'd snap every rod you have lol
In terms of bushwhacking?
@Joey .T yeah we cut our way into speck lakes every winter and its brutal but tons of fun, beauty sled. How has the 900 ace treated you?
@@patrickirish9427 I’ve done my fair share of bushwhacking however I would take my rods off and put them in a rod case for that matter without a doubt, the rods are there simply for traveling lakes I haven’t had problem, add reel covers for the snow that kicks up and their mint!! But I can understand back lake forest bushwhacking this wouldn’t be ideal. But the sled is absolutely amazing, if I were to buy another I’d buy the same one. Doing another review soon!!🤘
@Joey .T Awesome. So I'm getting ready to buy a 900 ace but want to know about the throttle. We do lots of climbing at super slow speeds, how is the throttle at very slow speeds crawling? Does it engage nicely in low gear vs the 600 etec? Rarely ever get these things stuck out fishing and even run over lots of trees and here in northern ontario we have many feet of snow and rough conditions. I think overall the 600 etec is the better engine but can't beat the 900 ace overall for longevity when these things cost what they do. Glad to hear you do some bushwhacking and put this baby to use!
@@patrickirish9427 so the amazing thing about this sled is it has a High gear and a Low gear, you can switch it to Low gear which allows ur throttle to be less jumpy and more power at a crawl which is amazing for like towing so you
Don’t blow clutches or getting out of ditches I put in low gear so I don’t burn the track out causing a burn out hole!!
Any issues with it overheating with no scratchers?
Absolutely Zero issues all winter running glare ice pulling a hut. Like I said their would be a air motor that would kick in if it needed to cool down. But all season it would heat up to 3 bars out of the 10 and that was it🤙
Nice! Any sliders left lol? Get some scratchers. Its a night ad day difference. The 4 strokes are a lot easier to keep cool, but with no lube your slides must be worn.
@@shaynepilgrim6593 they look brand new still believe it or not Lol. Doesn’t even look like I ran it without scratchers.
@@shaynepilgrim6593 this video was filmed on my very last day of the season and you can see theirs still lots of slider left. But next season definitely adding scratchers. 👌
@@shaynepilgrim6593 a buddy sold his 2019 900 ACE, no scratchers, sliders were still perfect, 12000 kms.
Is this the non turbo model?
yes non turbo!!
Whats the turn radius on the le
Not the greatest!! But give some gas and lean and it’ll turn lol
Until the 900 ace is tested for as long as the VK Professional with the bulletproof tried and true 1000 genesis engine, I will stick to my Vk Professional. Had a new 2010 skandic 550 fan that always had problems. I don't see those small issues with Yamaha
Everyone has their confidence in machines. Knowing a couple buddies of mine in the yukon territories they run ski doo skandics, up to -60 weather and they start and run flawlessly, you also mentioned a 550 skandic which truly is a 2 stroke and not a 4 stroke machine to compare with the one displayed in the video, 2 strokes always have more issues, and arent reliable in the sense that they blow up more often, and the oil gums up the carbs after every season often than not. Hard to compete with that in terms of those northern provinces mostly running skidoo 4 strokes, however the VK is a great machine too, ive also drove on that prior to my purchase, only problem is i didnt like how versatile any of the compartments are, the availability to purchase anything is slim, and it didnt handle well in slush because the front suspension is alot lower to the ground allowing for slush and snow to pile up and then get stuck.
I have 10 BRP skidoo dealers within 15 mins from my house and they have everything and anything i need for my skidoo. I can also trail ride with 4 clips i can take off everything including the seat and have a fully mobile trail sled, unlike the VK which is truly just a working sled, and then when it comes to slush i had to pull out 2 VK's (because my buddies have them) last year due to them getting stuck in deep snow/slush- the new skidoos have such high front clearance it never allows for any slush and snow to build up as a result it can never get stuck, it may bog down but never gets stuck (and ive been in some deeeeep snow and slush in the backlakes like almost 3ft of it and got out without a issue while towing) Both have pros and cons, personally i put alot of kms on the sled already and its a dream to ride. thats just my opinion when it came down to purchasing the sled based on my experience with both machines. Once again im not prostaff or sponsored, i just simply adding my two sense based on experience prior to my purchase.
The 900 Ace is tested! BRP uses the same motor in the Can Am X3, Sea Doo, and their Can Am Ryker. Some of the 900 sleds have well over 30,000 miles and the rentals go 10,000 to 15,000 with zero issues. 600 and 900 Ace are two of the best motors out there. My 2015 Renegade 900 Ace has had zero issues and I’m still running the same plugs and belt. I groom 8 miles of trail ever weekend and I ride ice, dirt, slush, water, sand just about everything but snow! Lol. Zero issues.
Where you been?
Been a crazy work season :( working on trying to put together a video for everyone soon!! I appreciate the continued support, people like you give me the drive to keep the vids rollin ❤️thank you!!
@@Joey.T I understand. Thinking of hitting Simcoe Monday for small mouth and maybe some jumbos. Between video instruction from you and Lady Bass I think I have a shot.
@@shredguy2153 I will be putting a video up after this weekends tournament so be on lookout for that🔥Goodluck out there for smallies, they are biting!!
yo bro been out yet this season?
Video coming tomorrow 🤟
Can you carry extra fuel? 8:17
Yes, you can add a jerry can to the top of your tub for extra fuel
Or you can take the seat off and clip a linx Jerry can on.
You are not too mechanically inclined eh. Liquid cooled and air cooled? Say what?
Liquid cooled engine, but has an air radiator with a fan that kicks in to help cool off engine when it overheats. I’m not sponsored by ski doo so bare with my explanations just trying to be honest in the ways I’m trying to explain it. Needless to say haven’t overheated once all last season even runnning it on bare ice with no snow all over the lake 👍
I see you got it set up to troll!
Lol 😂 oh ya
That ice doesn't look so ggod.
Not the best
Insurance papers? Really good old tax usa…
Canada actually
Very nice. I'm just wondering what the cost of that beauty would be ?
Total with accessories costed me 18K, without accessories was 14,500+tax!! 👌
What mine was $19,500 and I added the front skid plate so $19,750. Price gouged me I guess
