I’ve seen a few comments about the content feeling “off” I think part of the reason for it feeling off is that no one is narrating while filming the video sequences. Leo would always be talking to the camera. I’m still a huge fan but the videos need some narration when there is no dialogue.
I disagree. Whoever is infront of the camera should be the voice. Especially with like 7 ppl around shouldn't be any reason someone behind the camera has to chime in.
Great overall content today! Love the “off camera” chat with Matt and Mike towards the end!! Brother talk with Joey being amused behind the camera. Love it! More please!
Matt-make sure that the exhaust valve guillotine isn’t contacting the side of the piston. That’s a known issue with these Polaris sleds with a lot of time on them. The guillotine stop in the cylinder just wears out over time…Just grind down the edge of the guillotine to make clearance
If you don’t have the upgraded stainless steel ones, it’s heavily suggested to replace them, as when the guillotine stops wear, they can snap off and fall into the cylinder. Especially on the 800’s
The 2stroke / 4 stroke issue is partially power (and when it comes on the power band) but its also weight. Traditionally 4 stroke engines are heavier and therefore the sled is heavier and less nimble to sling around in the mountains. Tech changes and the difference may not be wide a gap anymore but riding an old 4 stroke vs a 2 stroke was night and day difference in handling in the powder.
U finally caught the bug. BEST powersport in the game. And ive done em all. Nothing beats a sled in good snow. From stop pin it and when the skis finally touch the ground your doing 100mph. Brp is right. We Canadians know how to build a sled. If you havent done it. DO IT rent 1 for a day i promise youll have the sled fever
Grind Hard has made some incredible stuff with the Arcdroid. They also interview the Arcdroid inventor, Andrew Miller, on their Sent and Bent podcast. I can't wait to see what you guys create with it!
Yea I first saw it on Grind Hard. I talked to Andrew a little on the phone and he's a cool guy for sure, loves it when ridiculous stuff is built using his machine lol
A WHOLE video with no LEO. INCREDIBLE. Been a long time since i could tolerate a whole episode. Keep THESE coming!!!!!! So Stoked to watch how this plays out with these!!!
@@jeffmielke1504 i clearly said i havnt been able to tolerate an episode is soo long. Didnt catch that? So no i had no idea hes been gone and i couldn't be happier! Now i get to be a viewer again and not cringe every time i hear him or watch him be a blatant prick to the other guys and their equipment!
famous last words ''they always run the best before they blow'' and that they do my buddys freeride was running soo good she had so much power and balls and them boom 30 psi in one hole and the other 110
Matt check your jets in the carbs. Maybe the previous owner jetted the one carb different and that’s why it more lean. Sorry about your sled. Glad to see you are going to rebuild it. Great video guys.
@@SXSBlog put a yamaha nytro turbo motor and CVT setup in the old frame. Yank it straight with forklift and some chains! Then can race vs the 2-stroke X3.
I have a free Polaris, Indy, 500 if you want it for a back up sled in the cheap sled challenge, it run runs for sure, the axle broke but I have another one and the bearings all you have to do is put it together drain the fuel tank, new gas you got a ripper ! I promise come pick it up Erie Pa
Mag side CYL on the old Polaris Needs the fuel screw turned up the width of the blade of a screw driver from the Clutch side.. all the 700/800 edges sleds burn down on the mag side...We deff Experience that here in Canada With No speed limits and miles of logging roads.
I noticed your v-max 500 back there, you used for sno-x. I have a shortened Venture 500 I use for sno-x. Would you like to exchange clutch and gearing set ups?
Not seen that many of your video´s yet, but i watch new and last year. and it always seams to be 1 inch of snow and mud. do you get any proper snow ? :)
That thundercat has something audibly rubbing when it goes ripping past at full throttle, I think that may be the source of the smoke, I’d look at the track tunnel and the clutch
Good ol ethanol. And nothing has a petcock anymore but if it does when u store it let it run till it dies. And you wont need a carb cleans every year. Thats what ot needs.
@@dondelche fair point. I just feel like Joey and Doug are so damn cringy it makes, what would be really funny/cool, videos kinda hard to watch. I feel like when Leo was around it made the cringy stuff seem more normal now they just sound like old dudes with too much time.
I feel the pain blew up my first sled This year. Just bought it this year, there was so much blow by it blew all the grease out the bearings by the primary. It’s a 03 rev 600ho with only 3500 miles too
You can just tell by his comments about the f7 that he'll never let that sled win..wont do maintenance to get and keep it running properly..treat it like shit and bitch its a crap sled..while the allow a full rebuild on the polaris..it blew ..he should be out..the f7 is the fastest best suspended most reliable sled of the bunch..and stop sitting at the back of the seat when turning..get your balls on the tank and lean..ride it..be aggressive.
I liked Leo it was annoying when he was always trying to get the guys to do more crazy stuff for videos purposes only. Leo was all about clicks. It sucks that the SXS Blog as I've known since the beginning is all but gone. Hard to run a business and stay successful with a bunch of buddies.
I think part of the reason for it feeling off is that no one is narrating while filming the video sequences. Leo would always be talking to the camera. I’m still a huge fan but the videos do. Red tweaking.
That ain't a whole lotta mud... Saw a guy take a brand new Arctic Cat through the bog pit back when they used to have the mud drags up at Albright Shores... That thing flat hauled it down through there..
Man, I really hope SXSBLOG and Leo’s new channel are continually successful. I feel like a divorce kid hoping both parents are ok. 😂😂😂
What is Leo’s new channel??

it looks like it was sucking air somewhere. Crank seal or carb boot leaking at the cases would be my guess.
You better watch out, 2 drunk guys and a station wagon are gonna steal your views 😂
Good to see sous more in the videos. Doug and sous are the og’s.!
That’s definitely on purpose at this point as part of their build back better strategy lol
He brings the OG energy for sure!
Hate to say it but that Lynx is really good in a straight line, and that’s it. Justin’s Khaos is the “real” snowmobile.
Justin is rapidly becoming my new favorite since Franky left...Dude is hilarious to me.🤣🤣🤣
Frankie and Leo have their own channel
With the amount of time we see him riding, which is a fair bit, he's going to get good, quick on those machines.
@dadbeard-pi2oy I fully agree with you on that one
@@Berm_Blaster it's all part of the learning process. I'll admit, that woop crash wasn't elegant. But he learned a lesson.😂
@@Berm_Blaster he went full 110...
For polaris giving sxsblog a sled i saw a ton of lynx footage.
The vmax 4 is by far the coolest sled you guys have

The stock vmax4 sounds like an orgy at a chainsaw convention.
The vibe is getting better
Make sure you check the crank bearings on that! Those liberty 800 motors are known for crank bearings!
Joey knows what’s up. All his stuff is sick!!
Hahaha that lynx sounds like shit.
I enjoy every video you guys do they are so fun!! I think you should get your hands on a Segway villin 1000 cuz I’m curious!
Y'all are awesome can't wait to meet y'all
Joe's sled sounds rad in my headphones. Cool sled, man!
Sounds like a 2 step at the idle, and on the throttle closing. Sounds sweeeet
Sous behind the camera!!! 😂 awesome like ls george and cleeter!!
A WHOLE video with no LEO. INCREDIBLE. Been a long time since i could tolerate a whole episode. Keep THESE coming!!!!!! So Stoked to watch how this plays out with these!!!
Leo isn't on the team anymore where have you been the last month or so
Right?!?! Reading some of the comments from all the nut-huggers over yonder I thought I was only one that though Leo was cringe at best.

Steve, you should try disconnecting the wiring to your power valve controller, and connect the vents to each other with a piece of gas line.
I'll give it a shot if this new regulator doesn't solve it, thanks!
Purple yz frame in the last clip????😮
famous last words ''they always run the best before they blow'' and that they do my buddys freeride was running soo good she had so much power and balls and them boom 30 psi in one hole and the other 110
Will you guys test a segway villan??
lol little Frankie and Leo gonna take over with there new channel
"Almost beat me" Cue the Fast and Furious references..
Wanna see that apex drag race the lynx
The Vmax4 outshines em all! The sled content has gotten really awesome
So whats uncle chets thoughts on all the crew being booted? Remember if it were not for him sxs blog wouldn't be in that huge factory.
Doug was the guarantee for that property. Turns out Leo wasnt that honest.
@@woofersd2383 Here I thought I was the only one who go con-man vibes from that dude.
If Italians made a sled, it would 100% sound like that vmax 🤣
Matt check your jets in the carbs. Maybe the previous owner jetted the one carb different and that’s why it more lean. Sorry about your sled. Glad to see you are going to rebuild it. Great video guys.
Check the tail light wires on the rev had similar issue with mine and it was ground out
That lynx sounds so rowdy.
Thundercat .. Brings Back Great memories 😊
Thanks for the Great content 👍
Was that a YXZ frame in the background at the end?
Yes sir!
I loved that teaser

Good dudes doing what they love and having fun. What more do ya want from a youtube family. Cheers guys. Hope to see you guys at the freedom 500.
It'll be interesting to see if they get an invite or not.
What were the symptoms off the bad voltage regulator? Same sled been chasing issues hard switchback 600 ho
Justin carving in neutral position like a boss!! Keep up the great videos yall rock!
Leo and Franks new channel is keeping up with almost the same amout of views already
I see a YXZ frame!
been waiting for this
"It's funny to start it but actually not good" lmfao 😂

The new Lynx´s are awsome, you dont even need that many CC do wheelies, i wheelie with my small 600R Lynx

FPV clip was killer
Don’t quote me on this, but I believe they are step jetted, and that cylinder supposed to be a little fatter than the other one
Hey Leo has his own channel with FRANKIE!
I see you got a new yxz frame there
Love the snowmobiling series
Great times. At least you have some snow!
Vmax 4 sounds amazing. “I don’t care if you win by an inch or a mile”
Good ol ethanol. And nothing has a petcock anymore but if it does when u store it let it run till it dies. And you wont need a carb cleans every year. Thats what ot needs.
Let's goo boys sled days equal fun days
When are yall going to the U.P with the Snowmobiles
helluva time for winter to check out.. road trip out west for the rest of the challenge?
Love that v-max 4
I think that might be the new yxz frame
We don't get much for snow here anymore so its only the die-hards who buy new sleds. The ditch banger sleds rule the roost out my way.
I’m still waiting for you guys todo a long track phasers build so I can copy you guys
great team
I feel like if they’re gonna get rid of people all the time, this channel would be like 100x better with everyone except Doug and Joey
At least the garage channel is mainly mike and matt.
@@dondelche fair point. I just feel like Joey and Doug are so damn cringy it makes, what would be really funny/cool, videos kinda hard to watch. I feel like when Leo was around it made the cringy stuff seem more normal now they just sound like old dudes with too much time.

What part of Minnesota are you guys gonna ride in for the final? Thought you mentioned you were heading up that way in your last video!
You guys are great!
Joeys sled sounds like it's got rolling anti-lag
I just have to say "ELECTRIC ANYTHING WILL NEVER BE THIS COOL"-"NEVER!!"!!!

Need to see Thundercat vs Vmax eh buds
Thats my next sled lynx 900 turbo r xterrain
Who's ibex 800T is that on the back ground? Looks awesome!
A Frankenstein's monster is born?! I'm here for it!!
