first doo in 10yrs hope this is good!

I believe all the bugs have been worked out of it by 06. The ring problem was corrected in 04. That 06 X has the new roller secondary.

It should be a ripper, gas it and go.

I only use BRP's synthetic oil. If you can afford it, it's the best you can get according to SnowTech. They said they even use it in their other brand sleds. It's made by Castrol for BRP. You'll want to run a couple quarts of mineral oil through you tank first though - to seat the rings properly. Then switch to the synthetic blend or full synthetic.

My own opinion I use amsoil. But a guy should use one type and stick with it. BRP is good too. All the synthetic oil these days are pretty good. If you have an 06 you should be good to go. All the guys on here seem to know sleds... so get a pen and piece of paper out, class is in session
What did you ride for the last 10 years?

wow a little negative don't you think?

and why would yo buy a sled with so many problems...

with an outlook like that you are likely to be the one that gets the lemon!

i don't think i was being negative just wanting to know if those problems are corrected for this year that's all but thanks for your help viper.now i been riding yamaha for the last 10 years and a couple of cats.but i'm back to doo. had a bad 97 mxz 670 so i switched brands.so should the clutch cover stay on or off ?and hows the stock clutching on 06 600 sdi gade x?oh and any good tips for suspension set up i way about 220lbs thanks .

put gas in it and go

oh wait

do not doo that

put oil in and gas and GO!

Congrats on the new sled. I bought an 06 Adrenaline 800.
I put 400+ miles on it last year. I hate the smell of Ski-doo
oil sooo in went Torco SSO! No problems yet. Just run an
Iso-Legd rated oil because it is a European standard an
boy they run the motor overheated for 3 hours and run
the oil ratio's as low as 150 to 1 !!! that's gas to oil!!
The motor cannot lose power or blow up to pass!!!
Any oil that meets this test has gotta be good. Klotz
is iso-legd rated. Just check carb boots, Exhaust bolts,
and doo the air box mod by Rev Barron. I did not remove
my plastic clutch cover just removed tool box and put about
a dozen holes in cover down by slit in the gull wing side cover
to allow a little extra air in the clutch area. Doo a search you
will find all these issuses and probably more, Good Luck!!

I cannot comment on somethings, as I own a 2005 800 151"summit but here is what I would do regardless of sled size and type..

Free stuff-
1) Remove that plastic clutch cover
2) Remove all the foam
3) Remove some of the unneeded heat shielding. If you thinks it's critical then apply some reflective tape.
4) Remove anything that looks useless?

Useful stuff-
1) Bar risers
2) Left hand throttle
3) Clutch kit
4) Add an exhaust can, probably loose about 5-8lbs, just depends

I have yet to see or hear of a sled that comes from the factory with perfect clutching, maybe close but not perfect. Also, for break in period I would just go buy a gallon of Doo oil and run that until it's gone. Your rings will be good and broke in by then and you can run whatever oil you want..

If you like to jump a lot look into getting some factory running board stiffeners as they are a bit weak and it's best to have that stuff on there when everything is perfect.

Most importantly after it's broke in?. Ride it like you stole it cuz

thanks for the helpfull suggestions .anyone thats put clutch kit in their 600sdi gade can you tell me what was the results in how sled ran before and after thank's i think i'm going to like this doo
