i have purchased 2 sleds and two SXS from them so u think they would be doing updates for me no questions asked! But it's probably because I purchased this 2017 used from someone else and didn't buy one of there demos they had on the floor ! Who knows !!

I haven't had any issues with GVP. Been buying parts there since the rev days and after going threw a couple other sh#tty dealers bought a new sled from them last year. All good so far

I honestly have always have had a good experience too with them! I think it's just the service lady I've been taking too is just not knowing what is going on! I'll try and talk to someone else and maybe I'll get somewhere !

why buy a bulkhead brace??? I purchased a 2014 XM 163 before with a bulkhead brace already installed on it......and later it got hit very hard on the bulkhead with a rock. Long story short the sled had a very weird bend in it leading back to tunnel giving the sled a slight twist to it. Very hard to see where the problem was pulled motor and had to replace the E-module is it was slightly pushed to one side. while removing it and taking rivets out it made a loud pop and tunnel somewhat straightened. Still had to replace S-module as well because it had a slight tweak on front end as it was damaged.I would have rather have had the S-module give way and leave the e module and tunnel alone from the hit. It made it hard to diagnose a problem and more was damaged than needed to be with brace on......................best engine brace out there is a call to your insurance company and save a few hundred dollars and 2 hours of putting the dumb thing in!!!! Just my experience of course.

2017+ skidoos little dif animals then the xms not as strong in my opinion from weird angle impacts, insurance is pricey and you loose points off your license if you wreck a sled in sask. i run all other insurance just not collision and im pretty sure that little brace has saved me over the years cheap insurance in my books
