I had snow checked a 2014 Summit X 163, when I got it I found that it didn’t perform like the 2013 163X demo sled I rode. I figured it was because the sled was still in break in mode. My sled ran well but not great, even once it was out of break in mode. I found it to be sluggish and lazy, not very responsive on the throttle and the clutching sucked, it worked but would trench everywhere and I had little control of the track as it was either full on or nothing. I also found that I would get RPM fade and lose power on longer pulls.
After I had Dean install the full XM package they sell, I found it to be a night and day difference. The sled is snappy and responsive, it pulls harder and throttle/clutch control is spot on. And the sled does run cooler now with the upgraded thermostat and thermostat housing.
All I can say is that I now have a massive $hit eating grin on my face, and with the way the sled runs now… I feel like I am cheating, it now runs that good! I can’t thank Dean enough for helping me get this sled setup and running amazingly well.
Parts that were installed:
- Billet thermostat housing and thermostat
- Reeds
- Plugs
- Clutch tower brace
- Gears and chain
- Clutch kit – Primary and Secondary
- Clutch shim kit
- Can
Thanks Dean Keep up the fantastic work!!
