TA you must have done something to OT !
He bought an XP.
He posted it on the old Fourm.
Maybe he posted it on here somwhere?

Ps Thanks For the pics.

OT bought an XP? We better keep that on the QT.

OT bought a XP?? Say it ain't so.

Was it the guy that ran into his sled in WY that finally knocked some sense into him?

4 days in revy on the XP

4 days in Revy on the new xp..climbs like a cut cat....lots of power....smooth...very agile...but...almost too responsive...any little imput...it moves...you have got to be right on your game to ride it....moving quickly from side to side to respond...finding it a little challenging to learn the nuances of getting it up on its side and holding it there...very tight turning radius...much easier to get unstuck...lighter...great fuel mileage...me 1st day..22 liters...M8 25...1M 900 27....very low oil consumption...didn't use a whole gallon for 4 days of riding...no belt issues...no over heating....very smooth down the trail...on the trail easy to turn....very tight...no rattling parts...generally very please with the sled.

You will find that once used to it you actually spend less time jumping from side to side instead you can stay put and shifting your weight.Nice to blow a tight cookie without standing on the inside running board.

05 Rev and then an 07 Rev

I might have too much ski pressure...maybe the bars need to be moved back a bit...again very happy with the sled...it smacked all the sleds I was riding with...just need to tweek it a bit to be completely happy.
