09 XP 800r 154 everest stock size a arms Roosterbuilt clutched an slp can
So a couple questions
Gas gauge is it better?
Love the fit an finish of my XP, tired of the little things (hand warmers, speedometer, gas gauge,stock clutching)
I can fix the clutch, Roosterbuilt is awesome! Speedometer an gas gauge cause me issues. Got a good deal on a 13, got me thinking! I have searched entire xm forum, I notice every part on my 09 has been upgraded or superceeded. Just wondering on the gas gauge. Thanks!

my gas gauge seems to work good on my XM and is pretty accurate so far. I've had 2 xp's, and loved them both, but my XM make both of them seem pathetic now looking back. Pull the trigger on the XM, you won't regret it.

I don't think anyone would be disapointed going XP to XM. I'm not hearing of many of those "little things" like the XP had, although the designs are the same I think they are doing a better job with quality control.
We are using the same helix on the XM :face-icon-small-win

Buy a xm there is no comparison between that and a 09 Xp. The 2 sleds might look the same but they are completely different handling sleds
