Bought a 2013 XM 154x new. Has 1500 miles. All stock. have decided trading is not the best $$ choice for me. Going with Trygstad 872 over the summer. Where should I go next? Track? Rear suspension work? Dial in stock chassis and track? Ride 9,000 - 11,000 feet mostly trees, drainages, climb here and there.
After the 872 ........... ?
- Thread starter Rave
- Start date
3" track and some skinz Rasmussen boards. Make sure clutches are healthy and dialed. Then ride the tar out of it, take more trips if possible and log more smiles.

Narrow boards and the narrow skinz side panels...I was a non believer until I tried it. Wow what a difference on the steep side hills!!
Raptor ace rear shock and raptor fronts and centre
Get a clutch kit from dynamo Joe. Ibackshift.com he has an 872 so he'll get that power to the ground. Revalve and rebuild shocks ride the piss out of it.:eyebrows:
Been talking to Joey. I feel the shocks work quite well. What changes need to be made to make them better? Thanks
In my experience stock shocks never last much past the mileage you got. One never thinks his shocks are that bad because they degrade so slowly over time its hard to tell. That is Intel you ride a sled with fresh shocks then its an eye opener. Its cheap and your body will thank you.

I've got a 14 XM 154" with a BB. Clutching is important to get that power to the track. I also did a TKI belt drive (before the BB tho). I do have a 3" track now. One of my favorite changes was the skid relocate kit. It changes the approach angle of the track and keeps the front end down when climbing, keeping more track on the snow so you're able to utilize more power of that BB. Don't get me wrong, you can still wheelie when you want to. Helps with the trenching issue also.

Looking into relocate kit. What drive ratio did you go with? Sled is running!! Got it all together, just touched the electric start and it fired right off like it had never been apart. These Etec engines amaze me.

I can't remember what I went with for the belt drive ratio.

Gear it up as discussed, With all that extra Hp and Torque it will pull more gear easily, Most belt drive builders gear lower than stock so they wing up faster :face-icon-small-con ??. Chain and gears are very good product as tested by many knowledgeable people.

Yup, located a gear to get to the ratio we discussed. Will look for a time to stop over with the sled.

For what it's worth the TKI belt drive is a very good product as tested by many knowledgeable people as well.
