No really, I have no love for it at all. My '14 ran way more consistent and was more fun. G4's are turds for guys that ride them hard and if I'm shelling out a few hundred a month in belts that will affect how much I can ride. Looking at Mtn Cat or Axys for next machine. Just need to decide whether I keep the XM for another season or not. Can't mile it out or it'll never sell because the used market is in the toilet on all sleds cause the damn manufacturers produce too many to keep unit cost down but then blow out the holdovers and screw their customers trying to sell used machines. This sport is fawked, it's a damn good thing it's so much fun!

The last two trips out I’ve used all my fuel and ended up having to head back to the bus before I wanted too. A real piss off.

I hate the fact my boots fill with water that turns to ice and ruptures them leaving me with no steering and stuck far from home. Gen4 Summit x 2018 175

I have the same problem with my 2013 Arctic Cat. Boots fill with snow and freeze and I can’t steer. I can make it back to truck but my arms are killing me by then.

I think that for next year 2019 and every year after some manufacture's(Yamaha) should make available. complete sled packages with the newest cool stuff with optional tracks and badass suspension's without the motor. Being that Yammi motors are out lasting their chassis 2 and even 3:1 why not sell us chassis at a 1/4 of the price with a little instruction booklet on how to transfer your motor to the newest badass chassis.

I could just see the advertising; "While the competition has both hands in your pocket's and wallet's, we at Yamaha will keep you upgraded on a token of one sell. Yamaha Rev's Your Heart's."

Just did one in mine, $450 all in. Do the work yourself and it's a third of the price as the dealer. Or make an insurance claim, still 4 months of riding left!

I keep putting gas and oil in my sled and every time I go riding I have to refill the gas tank usually. I've checked the gas tank for leaks, took the tank out for a visual check. Nothing, and when I start my snowmobile, all that comes out is smoky air out of the pipe that makes a lot of noise. I even melted my favourite Homer Simpson pj's on that same pipe!!!
