2005 Ski-Doo MX Z Renegade 800 H.O.

"05" Renegade 800HO P-Tek

Excellent riding machine, bridges the gap between trail & mountain sled excellently. The only drawback I have encountered as many have found out with this machine is in order to insure longevity & durability one needs to change the carburetor specifications to the 2007 800HO P-Teks. The pilo...t jets need to be changed from the stock "05" #17.5 to the "07" #20 & turn the fuel screw out from 1.5 turns to 2.0 turns to cure the hanging idle problem. And the slides needles need to be updated to the "07" needle to fatten up the mid-range as the "05" carb needles are notoriously lean in the mid-range. Also special attention should be paid to the intake boots which are known to de-laminate & the exhaust Y pipes bolts are known to loosen. Once these issues are addressed you will have a bullet proof set-up for a sled that anyone can be proud to own. Read Full Review
