My snowmobile experience is "mixed". My first sled was a $950.00 Evinrude Bobcat SS with a flat apposed 400 cc 2 stroke engine. The heavy little sled had a narrow track no shocks of any kind, resulting in a beginners sled experience of 70mph if you had enough lake, opened the air intake box and shortened the wind screen. My second sled was a Ski-Doo Everest body and 440 Liquid cooled-Polaris "racing" engine which included some titanium rods of some sort and 2-48mm Mikuni Carburetors. It was quite useless, due to gas mileage and the likelihood that my brother would take it beyond it's limits. ( total seat time 3 hours). I never had the chance to see what it could really do. It's tank allowed about 20 miles range. What was left of the "Everest" was traded in for a 440cc Arctic Cat Puma(?), which had ridiculous gearing meant for powder only. It floated beautifully but it's top end was about 40 mph. This one lasted about as long as the Polaris Everest; that's 3 seat hours for those keeping track. The last two sleds cost about $150.00 per seat hour to own. For those of you who can choose and own a sled that starts after 3 hours of seat time, consider yourselves blessed.
Uh dude, you haven't even actually owned a Snowmobile then. First off, most Snowmobiles now days and even for the past two decades are at least 600cc and most are 700cc or 800cc. Second off they can last for tens of thousands of miles if properly maintained. They aren't even really that hard to maintain. Just check the oil, change the filters and plugs, change the wear rods every year or two, and put a new track on when they finally wear out which can be a very long time if you ride them correctly.. Maybe try again..
I have both a mxz 800 and summit 800 both Zx chassis, on good packed trail both the ski doos I have are neck and neck with fusion 700 and cat f7. It seems traction is the difference between even or a sled length ahead
I had an SRX set up 162 HP good sled fast 122 on the gun but the SXr is more fun gets 15 mpg like my APEX and is set right radar at125.8 in little over 1/4 mile
Those old ZX 800's were nice looking, but they were boat anchors. I remember when they came out and the dealer really hyped them up. We asked how they would fair against our also fairly new at the time, Mach Z 800 triples and he outright said they would "smoke them". Well...needless to say, he was greatly exaggerating. They never stood a chance.
To get more out of that MXZ you're going to need to clutch or regear.... They're not meant to do 100 miles an hour from the factory it's a Motocross sled that will top out at about 75 80 mph but it will get there faster than anybody else.

Never have had a problem with crank sealed bearings on the 4 srx s we have one. 98,99,00,01. Never

sx R = 108hp if it has the Single pipe..
800 Mx = 137 hp

I'd say someone's cheating and it could be the mechanic with the ( stock) sidewinder.
Yes 29 hp should't make any difference
Which one rides better?
they are both fairly similar...but the skidoo handles the bumps and rough trails better I'd say 🍻

It's not a srx,quit calling it that. There's a huge difference between sxr and srx. Srx is a completely different animal!
Something isn't right, when a 700 Polaris runs 95 and the 800 Ski-doo runs 68. Especially when the Polaris was rubbing on the tunnel.
