Fred everyone knows that dynotech posts those numbers but why is that? I know but not telling.

Local dyno shops in the Edmonton area that have dynoed off the showroom floor production models have dynoed that engine at a corrected 150-155 range.

Yep and I think it's gone off my page as well cause I was having a heck of a time even tagging people I knew would want to see it. I can still see it but it's acting weird. The new colours are sick BTW.

Do you think Jim at dynotech with a proven 30 year track record would skew there numbers to make doo look better than poo, cat, yam and risk his entire reputation of years of testing the big names.. I'm sorry I don't think he would, once you read his documentary of his dyno sessions it easy to tell

there lab is almost at sea level, and get good air densitys, run a very exspensive dyno with very accurate, and repeatable numbers.. Check them out. .. Now how is edmontons shops..

3% HP loss per 1000 ft. above sea level.

Edmonton is @ 2201ft. It calculates to 10.7 hp loss.

There is a video up on Facebook. It shows the new sleds.

From what I see, the running boards are no longer sheet metal, but extrusions for the platforms.

850 cc on a next generation rev chassis. I like the free ride colours, but it's still the XM chassis.

I think there are a couple of other vids, because I haven't seen the clutch info or hp info like in those pics.

The new freeride colours are sick! Love it!

My guess is your only going to see a 165" in the next gen chassis for 2017.

Ya, that is the one I can't seem to find.

Thanks but I meant the engine one. But I can still see it and play it on my page, just can't share or comment in it.

The jackshaft isn't that close to the cylinders on the current XM is it? Oil tank over the primary, won't have to worry about putting your knee through it anymore. The turbo guys will be able to take over control of those auxiliary injectors.
