XM.. Great Sled!

RKT · Dec 9, 2012

Finally got some DEEP powder time on the new XM..

This sled floats like mad! It is not a big power-house but the track makes this sled climb like cazy!!

Very happy with the entire sled.. handles great, clutching is OK.. Will work on that....
Overall. much better than expected...

At the end of the ride, I lost all head lights, but everything else is still onand working... Not sure what happened there.. Hopefully there is a"headlight only" fuse stashed somewhere..

Anyway, the new XM is the real deal.. Had it up with our other sleds so we had some very good and realistic comparisions between all 3 new sleds..

Can't wait to get this one Big Bored!!

You mentioned that there were other sleds to compare to what were they and what were your thoughts

Good to here you decided to get a XM.

How is the big bore coming any way Kelsey?

I know our XM's have been great so far, talk to ya some time here soon, David

Road mine today in Island Park. Worked great! Needs some clutching. Want/need mine to engage "stronger" when coming downhill. Saw 40mph dropping a big chute today. That gets a little scary!

Kick a$$ sled

The 2 other 2013 (Doo and Polaris) are also mine.. Rode each one equally and compared..

ALL 3 good sleds.. My Pro is modded but the Cat is stock... there were other stock sleds there (XPs and Pros)

Again, in the steep and deep, all 3 work great...

Nobody should be complaining about ANY of the 3 sleds.. All great, all winners..

Rode mine today in hassler it is unbelievable in the deep,snow on the hill and on the flat I can't wait to see how it works once the breaking period is over. The front bumper however is made of tinfoil and is by no meens what you would call a bumper more like a moulding.

Which sled climbed the best in stock form?

Now that would just get the people mad that do not own the sled that climbs the best.

Not trying to start a comparision thread.. Those always go south in a hurry.. Never does any good..

Just wanted to give props to DOO, Cat and Poo, for having 3 great sleds...

Yes I agree on the front bumper I bought a raw aluminum

front & rear bumper from JT and I'm getting powder coated blue when I took the front bumper of it weighed 8 ounces. Wow

I think the headlights are on recall or something. I heard rumor or something about that. Dont quote me tho im not sure.

I'm worried about putting a stronger bumper on and bending the mounting points and I think that is worse than just replacing the ****ty bumper more often.

ROKRIG · Dec 10, 2012

Yeah, the bumper mounting points (one 4mm(ish?) bolt on each end) seem a little lacking and the OEM bumper is somewhat minimal but I'm guessing it's designed to absorb the impact as opposed to transferring the impact into the important stuff behind the bumper.

Are you sure you didn't lose hot grips and gauges as well? Just had that happen to me on my 600 and it was a relay that goes bad quite often. If you did lose them all the relay is on the right side.
