my 2011 xp 154 worked fine at most elevations, until i got over 5500 feet . i would hope that the new one should do as well or better with no mods.
Yes..and I am a fan of low gearing! Just like the '12 X's, the XM 163's are coming 19/51, I liked 21/51....154's are coming 19/49 and I also went with a 21.
We have been gearing them DOWN from stock since the '08's but IMO Doo jumped over the sweet spot on gearing for the TRA with a big track.
I found this pulled harder, easier on fuel (like that matters, but it's a bonus) and helped keep RPM more consistant....gearing TOO low will allow the clutches to "hunt" as they are not seeing as much load. I still never had any belt issues. JMO.

I am also planning on gearing up a little.

yep i agree strait 40 and 19-51 is to slow .No load
Exactly my thinking as well.
No load and all spin, seems to translate into trenching issues in the deep powder.

has anyone geared theres up yet?If so,how does it compare to stock?
We geared up many 12's (identical clutching and gearing as XM), along with our helix cut and different springs. I preferred this to stock but will be experimenting on my 13 to be sure its effective or needs some tweeking.

So far on the flat I find mine takes too long to upshift but I will put some time on it before I start playing with it.

Have you been out on your new xm yet
to compare your clutching to the stock clutching yet. Thanks

Per my shop here the recommendation is 23/51 for the 163 for us in Alaska. Thoughts?
