I live in Saratoga NY. Like to ride Saranac Lake, Old Forge first year on an 2008 xp 800r with 1500 miles. Also ride and race 2010 crf 450 expert class. Never thought I would buy a Skidoo had Yamaha's since 1982 when I started snowmobiling. Like boating with my 2 boys have a wellcraft with a 454...

I am new this year to my 2008 xp 800r and after reading this I almost wish I stuck with Yamaha's. Are there people out there that ride these sleds and like them with very limited problems? Or are they just a problem sled? I am coming off a 08 Nytro that could maybe on a good day brake 100mph...

I was under the impresion if the cable broke it was stuck wide open dumping oil? Just had my sled serviced and I am sure the guys didn't look,hate to pull the carbs off after just paying 377 for a service.
