    2016 XM T-3 174" Rear swing arm 2 piece tube vs 2014 non T-3

    Greasing my skid and grease came out of the outer tubing, it appears to be a factory design on a T-3 to have a seam, my non T-3 XM is a solid tube, I know Maxwell would know if this is the way a T-3 comes from the factory vs my other sled, does anyone know if i broke the tube or if this is how...

    Pandemic Riding

    Victoria vandalism: Bertans should be safe to park their trucks in BC without attaching fake plates going forward, the scum bags are after Americans now, too bad for this guy that he is a Canadian that is moving back to Canada. I have been sledding in BC for 25 years and have never been a victim...

    Replacing OLD sled.

    If price range and reliability are a factor i would recommend a 2015-2017 XM 174 with e-start, i have a 2016 X 174 e-start and a 2104 X 163, both purchased at 1 yr old with 300 km, i would like an 850 with either 165 or 175 to gain the shot starter and flickability as i'm 57 years old and the xm...

    Keystone

    Im ok with a few hundred willow scratches on my sleds on the trail in, but some folks might not be happy, willows are bent over the trail and even with 5 more feet of snow will help, some pruning would help.

    All 850 summits for sale state"running original belts, no problems"

    looking to buy a used T-3 174"or a Gen 4 in 165" or 175", Love my 2014 163 X XM but want more track, Caveat emptor law applies and all ads say no belt issues, It seems like getting a 2016 174 X with 2 more years warranty might be a safer way to go in light of all of the bad press on the 850, My...

    2008 Ski Doo Summit XP Top End?

    I would be checking the PTO stub with a dial indicator before doing a top end, if the crank runout is excessive and the pistons are done it might be better to sell the sled as is rather than doing a top end and having a crank bearing fail and needing a crankcase and crankshaft. Or do the bottom...

    5 yrs with Habervision fans, have 3 pairs, too loud for snow skiing, don't hear them much on a sled though, web site orders have all been seamless, I recommend trying them.
