noticed you still had the felt on the underside of hood....is there a reason you left it in?

Yeah no real reason to take it out for now, the other stuff, yes! I don't think it matters if you did!

Wow, way way to many fasteners. I would hate to have to do that in the freezing cold with the wind blowing and cold hands. That is a prime example of poor engineering.

Kinda what I was thinking. The Xm is hard enough to take off.

owned a turbo t3 and a stock one with a can. 2k miles on each NEVER had to remove the hood in the mountains.

Really? I thought it was pretty reasonable. 4 Torx bolts (using the supplied wrench in the field) and it's out. The rest is wiring harness clips and plastic panels that just pop off. It's a lot easier than my ProClimb hood to remove, I can tell that much.

Eight little screws and a clamp but who is counting I guess. Sorry for the opinion. And as far as not removing in the field I agree it is rare anymore but it does happen and when it does it would be nice to have it a little easier. I do not currently ride Doo but I am very curious how these will do. I just see all the little things like this that make me shake my head. Again not trying to start a bash just noticing things like this that could be better or easier.

I love how the engineers get compliments in beginning for making it simple. That is one of the most ridiculously annoying hood designs I've ever been seen. Looks fun for working on your sled on the mountain. Why not just go all out and make the exhaust system part of the hood.

Be nice if they hadn't destroyed my torxbolts at the factory. The two closest to the handlebars are shredded and I can't get the heckrs out!! Plus, they're not the same size as the other 4....WTF over?!

We were both wrong, it's six bolts. . 4 for the hood, 2 for the glovebox. And the inlet clamp like you said. I wasn't being sarcastic, sorry if it seemed that way. It really is a lot easier than my M8000 to get both the panels and the hood off. Did both sleds this weekend to compare. You don't have to pull the windscreen the glovebox lid, or the belt guard like Dave did if you have longer drivers. It's a trade off, I guess. But I got the hood off with one T27 driver in less than two minutes...
