I just picked up a new '09 800 xp with a 163" track last Saturday.
Went riding on Sunday and had the recoil problem with 18 miles on the sled. Pull on the start rope and it doesn't engage to spin the engine, we had to start it off the clutch with the rope from the tool kit. Later on I was noticing a bad vibration from the engine, it was RPM related and not speed related. Three other people took my sled for a ride and thought the vibration seemed excessive. By the time we got back to the truck, my hands and feet were numb from the vibration.
I took it to the dealer today, they said there was no grease in the recoil mechanism, so they greased it.
They said they couldn't find anything that would cause excessive vibration and they checked the primary clutch and crank runout. They said that the vibration is because it is still in the break in period and just running a little rich.
Anyone else experience this? Will it really run smoother after the break in period?
I don't remember reading anything from Skidoo that says I will be suffering for the first couple hundred miles until the break in is over.
