Got one as well, almost 5k Kms on it all trouble free.. Love it but might upgrade to x3..

Funny thing is dealers will not even take it in on trade.. They just sell new.. What a joke

Dragonfire ... nice stuff .
And CT race works gusset kit is a must ...

Oh ya the gusset kit definitely sove the front end there. Still managed to twist up the lower a arm. The tie rod was actually bent in an s-shape. Didn't break. Would of been much easier to get out if it did. Had to send the wife back to the garage to grab a sawz all to cut it off. Fun day but like most not cheap lol.

how do you like the portal lift?

Portals work great. Only issue so far was Super ATV sent me the 3 fronts and 1 rear when I first ordered them. Quick phone call and all fixed. And they do not fit with a 14" rim, despite whats listed on their website. Brake calipers do not clear the wheel. The gear reduction is nice and the 4" lift saves on axles for sure.
Biggest issue I have currently is getting the clutching dialed in for the portals and Evo stage 4 kit. Currently running a dalton kit but not enough weight in the primary, still hitting rev limiter pretty easily.
Gonna try a QSC Rev X HD for a primary now. The stock turbo primary is good, but need a special tool to pull it apart. PITA. The REV X is alot easier to add/remove weight.
Have a STM Rage 3P as well but have had zero luck trying to find a baseline setup for springs and weights. I would love to try them both out but don't know where to start.
Probably gonna toss that one on the wifes bike.

Buddy on is XMR mav breaks something every ride, expensive indeed. Poor guy is so discouraged he's selling his, wants less power for less breakage haha

How are you liking the tracks?
Get a belt temp gauge if you don't have one already. Razorback makes an awesome one. Pay up front but its cheaper than belts. Every mav should run them.
When the belt blew did it take out the cover as well? Seems to be a common occurance with the Turbo Mav's and the extra cooling duct in the cover.
First belt that I blew up took out the cover as well. Bad enough the belt was $200, but the cover was an extra $250 and was on back order for over a month.

Tracks were awesome I was going everywhere the sleds were. Just not climbing as high as fo keeping up with them there was zero issues. I was gonna buy a sled but not now.
