    Modrods's XM front Bumper

    Looks like it would pack up with snow/ice really bad, anyone have one of them? Not cheap at $360 USD... plus shipping, but if it's a stronger bumper, a grip&rip s-module brace, and a skid plate all in one, then it might be worth it. Anyone got a cheaper/better bumper suggestion or a local...

    Anyone ever bought a sled in a crate? (ie: no $600 dealer PDI)

    Just curious if this is possible to do, or if anyone has done it before? I've always had a problem with the extra/often hidden charge for PDI/set up fees, for anything, not just sleds. Near as I can tell, it's pretty darn simple to do myself... and seeing as I normally strip the sled back...

    Raptor 350 Transmission Sticking When Hot

    My 2007 Raptor 350's transmission won't shift into neutral when it's hot with the engine running sometimes. I've sat there trying for 5 minutes, wouldn't go, just keeps bouncing between 1st and 2nd. When the transmission is cool, or the motor is off, it works just fine. Any ideas? Is this a...

    RV Fridge Repair in Calgary

    Got an older RV (2001) with a fridge issues. Fridge doesn't work on 120V, no noise from the compressor. Fridge has power though so I'm thinking the compressor might be seized, or there might be a fuse blown inside the fridge. Works sometimes on gas, but is so slow to cool down there's no way...

    Check Engine - Fuel Gauge Showing Empty - Possibly the key?

    Had the check engine come on on Sunday at Forester. Sled was in limp mode, got it back out to the trail. Took it apart on the trail, checked all hoses, connections and exhaust temp probes etc. When taking the top off, I forgot to check the vacuum tube on the right side. Don't know if it had...

    Figure it'll last me the season?

    Tore a chunk and a strip out of my xm's 163 track two weekends ago. I've ridden nearly 4 full days on it since then and haven't noticed any cracks growing. Figure it will last me the season? (I'm picking up a new takeoff tonight but am lady and was gonna tear down the sled this summer anyways)

    Government's Plan for the Backcountry - Input Window Almost Over

    I strongly suggest everyone take a look at this and give some feedback to the government before the January 15 closing date! This will affect dirt bike and ATV trails, random camping and even access to areas on foot. Eg: Page 53, the whole Livingston area is declared 'green area' and on page...

    XM still bogging on right hand turns.

    My 2013 XM SP is still bogging on right hand turns in powder. No issues turning left so I figured it was the exhaust getting plugged but the snow wasn't very deep last weekend and it was doing it worse than ever. Those right turns to go back up in deep snow is exactly where I need the sled to...

    Best Place In Calgary to buy an aftermarket Muffler for an XM (price)

    I'm looking at picking up a can for my 2013 XM. Is there anywhere in Calgary that's selling them for less than $350? Not too picky on brand, don't want it to be too loud, and prefer it to be light-weight, and $300 or less. Also, according to the parts girl at Bow Cycle, if I buy it there, and...
