Ok my son bought a brand new ski-doo 850 sled off the show room floor. Ready to run. O miles on it. At 1.9 miles he blows the motor. Any one ever hear of any thing like this? Wrist pin came out trashed cylinder, head and the bottom end. Even the manager said in 20 years he has never seen any thing like that. What are your thoughts.? Rutnbuck
 
Friend had it happen at 40 miles. Did some easy trail riding to break it in, took it back country and it stranded him. Ski-don't gave him nothing but ##### until he finally got it repaired. Went back to RMK
 
Haven?t heard anything like that on the sled forums. Have heard allot of belts blowing and some have said at about 2000 miles the engine is shot. At least it should be under warranty. Sometimes there's just a bad one every once in a while. Bummer for him though.
 
They put a new motor in it for him took it out today it ran fine. That was a pretty fast turnaround however he's not too happy to have a new sled that's had a bunch of mechanics in it.
