- 6 Tips for really New Ski Doo owners
Dino’s Tinker Shed, S1-Ep40. Six things a new, late model Ski Doo XS owner may want to know.
In this episode, I will talk about my 2018 Ski Doo Renegade Enduro, with the 900 ACE engine in the XS chassis and six things that I learned about it after I purchased it. This video is geared at those who have never been snowmobiling, returning to the sport after a long absence or maybe like me have switched brands over to Ski Doo. More experience riders may find this video a bit boring or obvious so please keep that in mind.
As always, I have included time code chapters so you can skip to any part you want to review.
For years, I had ridden older sleds, and my sled before this one was a 2001 Polaris 600 classic, a sled that served me very well and one that I had put literally thousands of Kilometers on over years of riding. However, when I decided to step up to a brand-new sled, I decided to switch brands and engine types from the old tried and true 2-stroke to the modern fuel injected 3 cylinder 4-stroke mill that is the 900 Ace.
For me there were a lot of differences and features that the old Polaris just did not have, and it took me a bit of time to get used to so I thought it might be a good idea to share some of the basics with others who may be looking to buy one of these sleds especially used.

Dino
Nice job on the video. Very informative and interesting
Love your channel .Keep those videos coming .thanks
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
Dino
Thanks for the info, and you have a great presentation
Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it helpful.
Dino
Excellent review. Super helpful, particularly in light of the different technology of these newer rigs vs those old dawgs we rode (and likely will ride on occasion).
So true. I still like the old stuff. It's more fun to work on in my opinion.
Thanks for the comment
Dino
Great intro video for that newer rider(s). About the tools that snap on to the belt cover. I'd strongly advise that they be placed in a mini tool pouch & placed either in a Glovebox, Handlebar bag, Tunnel Bag, etc... They have been known for falling off or not placed securely & get caught up in the Clutches.
Thanks for the tips!, I can see how that could be an issue for sure and could lead to a bad day if the run through the clutches.
Dino
Thanks for a well done review on the Skidoo. I found it very interesting and information also. Due to some personal heath issues I took a 4 year brake from sledding. Returning to the sport this year, your review helped me get reacquainted with my 2017 Skidoo 900 Ace Blizzard.
Thank you for the comment and I am happy you are returning to the sport. I am also glad that my video was helpful, as a past sledder I am sure it was more of a refresher than a revolution but it still amazes me how fast the sled are changing each model year.
Have fun this season and enjoy putting miles on the track.
Dino
Just saw your channel and the video was really good to see, those are sweet sleds for sure.
Glad you liked the video and the sleds thank you
Dino
Great video Dino!
Glad you enjoyed it
Dino
Awesum job Dino!
In the 2 stroke sleds, the oil tank is where the fuse box is here
You did a very good video! Thanks
Go
lad you enjoyed it
Dino
great info!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Dino
All very useful points Dino!
Thank you Mal.
Dino
Apologies - I guess I should have looked at some of your other videos before I made the suggestion. I check out the one you’ve mentioned
Thanks
@@joelgregory7321 no apologies required. Hope the video helps out 🙂
Great video and exactly the sled I’d like to get next. Still riding an ‘09 MXZ eTec 600, which gets pretty good fuel economy, but I’d like to go 4 stroke and the 900 ace is what I’m after.
I really like mine, it is smooth, quite and with the air ride you can cover hundreds of Km per day in comfort. Not having to buy oil is also a great advantage.
Thanks for the comment
Dino
My 04 Polaris switchback had that same design clutch tool to change the belt.
Good to know. I had a 2001 edge and it did not yet have it. I wonder when they introduced it?
Thank you for the information
Dino
great content - especially the part about belt removal and deflection ... do you plan to do another video on optimizing belt deflections and the steps to achieve it?
Thank you for the comment. I do have a video out on setting belt deflection already, it is a basic set up and only covers how to set up the belt as per the manual. More advanced alignment or how to shim for clutch alignment is not covered in it.
Dino
Would love to find an 18' in the lava red with an ACE...
It's a nice sled. You don't see as many in the red as you do black.
Thanks for the comment
Dino
There is a fellow who i know could be your twin!! you guys are identical!!
Lol, you know Brad Pitt? But seriously that's weird although it's said everyone has a double somewhere maybe your buddy is mine.
Nice job. What year is your machine.
Thank you, it's a 2018
No commercials
Sir, I have heard of folks premixing the oil with gas, just to be on the safe side. There is no way of knowing for sure a 07 500 Ski-Doo is getting direct oil.
Its not a bad Idea if you can not verify you are getting oil to pre mix.
Dino
I have a 07 Ski Doo. How do I know if it is getting oil to the gas. My lines are dry
Boy oh boy, you should be able to see the oil in the lines. You could try and make up a gallon of pre mixed fuel and run the sled on that then you could pull off the oil lines to ensure oil is flowing.
Dino
I am going to bleed and fill the oil lines. The sled has not been ran in 3 years. Just going through everything, before a start !!
@@michaelmaurer1226 always a good practice
I cannot find any oil lines on my 07 SKI-DOO
starts at 3:25 your welcome
You can also use the time code chapters in the description to jump around 😉
Dino
I cannot find my oil Lines on my 07 Ski Doo
The main line runs from the oil tank down to the pump and then up to the carbs I believe on yours if it is a 2 stroke.
Dino
Yes, 2 Stroke 550
@@michaelmaurer1226 hmm that's the fan cooled correct? I have never owned a banner, but my so in law has, I'll ask him. Is is stock Or could a previous owner performed an oil pump delete?
Di o
@@DinosTinkerShed No Fan or radiator. But does have coolant tank.
@@michaelmaurer1226 and your sure it's a 550? Just checked the service manual and the 550 is a fan cooled unit. Are there heat exchangers above the track mounted to the underside of the tunnel?
Sorry, its a 500ss
Like don’t buy one lol
LOL that could be tip 7 for sure.
