so the comparison tests in the latest snowest mag stated that on several occassions the throtttle on the m-8 stuck open despite several attempts on the part of snowest staff and the dealer to rectifiy the situation, apparently to no avail.....soooo, whats the experience of those who have them, any similar incidences? not a very good thing to be happening, especially to tree riders....:face-icon-small-sad

have had 2 buddies with 1100's have them stick. one stuck while loading and was able to hit the kill switch. the other not so lucky. took off and smashed into a vehicle and then bounced off and hit another sled before stopping.
