Major bummer, but at least you got a new engine. Do you know if it cost you less to have your mechanic do the rebuild vs. just getting a long block from Doo? I did a long block swap on non-ETECs on a past sled, when upgrading to Doo's latest release just did not seem worth the extra...

Ha! So much doom and gloom! If it was running well for the seller before they put it away for the summer, then it isn't a wire chaffing. Fresh gas would be a good start. If that doesn't work, take it to the dealer. Bogging and wire chaffing are not common problems on G4s, even the '17s (I...

There is a particular weakness (yes, a design flaw) that Doo refuses to fix (guessing because they truly believe it works better) in the attachment of the arms to the bulkhead, that causes catastrophic failure of the S-module when you catch a ski DURING IN A LOADED CARVE. It doesn't happen...

Major bummer about the motor. I'd be pretty frustrated in that situation too (I bought an '08 XP new, so I've felt that pain) but your expectations are delusional IMO. There is no way that a dealer will give you a brand new floor unit to use while you work out your warranty issue. They don't...

Isn't that how it is supposed to work, i.e., you can turn the knob but it won't actually change the setting until you compress the skid?

I've got a 154/3 and I found it's way more "flickable" and fun to ride when you loosen the strap a notch from the factory setting. But, it will be a handful climbing straight up a steep slope. Especially if you're used to just pointing it and putting the throttle to the bar. There is a huge...

I'm actually pretty stoked on those numbers. I'd pay $350 for a brace that's been tested by Doo and requires engine removal for the install. I have the GnR and haven't installed it yet. Probably do both at the beginning of next season. As for the $9k trade-in, that sounds about right. I'd...

These bulkheads fail when you nail a fixed object with a buried ski during a carve, not bumping a tree. Doesn't take too much force, which sucks, but it is an isolated scenario. Same design (i.e., a-arm attachment) with slightly different materials is used on the XM and XP and they fail...

I own both as well. I don't race them, so maybe Fred is right about that, but I can say there is no comparison when it comes to throttle response and handling, which are the elements that make a sled nimble. XM is a good sled, but there's no comparison when it comes to the fun factor. Jumping...

Do you have any basis for that amount? They have to pull the engine to install it, so that seems cheap for an all in cost.

Can you give us an idea what "a while" means? I've been waiting for your kit, but if it's not going to come out until next year, I may try something else (then probably buy your kit anyway). I'm a happy past purchaser. Thanks!
