The access between the walker cr fsr and the morkhill fsr that I think they used back in the day has been closed since 09 due to caribou habitat closures. On the morkhill side there is a trapper that is not friendly and we have had issues with as recently as last spring. One time He actually...

I thought that it was a little too warm under the hood of my XM so I drilled some holes, well by some i mean about 300 in total, to try let some of that heat out. My next step is to buy a vent to add to the front of the side panel to let some more cool air in to help push the warm air out. Not...

I am a Skidoo guy but out of those two choices the M8 would be a better pick. The 09 doo does not have any of the real updates that made the xp a good sled. Lousy ported track, wide ski stance, steering geometry etc. Unless the xp is an 11 or newer I would take the M8. The M8 of that year is a...

I agree.with my half ton I can legally tow my 27 ft travel trailer that weighs about 7000 lbs fully loaded. I have the proper hitch, brakes, equalizer bars, however that is with nothing in the box, and only two kids and two adults in the truck. I don't think that a good four place trailer would...

The dealership in Smithers b.c. Recently advertised having a couple.

When my adjustment was out I put a bit of oil in the gas tank to make sure I was safe until I could run a couple of tanks of gas through the sled and make an average calculation of oil usage. My problem was a bent bracket so I wanted to make sure I didnt run it lean on oil after a major change...

My buddy and I both bought 2014 xm 163 sleds this year, I put on a rooster built kit before I ever rode it, my buddy left his stock to compare. On our last ride in chest deep powder we switched back and forth to compare, we both agreed that his worked well but mine just worked better. I had more...

On dootalk go to rev xp/xp's chassis. Then type in oil pump adjustment in the search box. There is a three page thread with pics and measurements. It was posted on jan 15 2008 and last updated on dec 20 2008. Sorry I don't know how to post a link.

I also thought that somewhere around 09 or 10 that skidoo made the sway bar a bit less stiff, so that it would take less effort to twist the bar and allow the sled to lay over a bit easier, but my wife tells me I'm wrong on a regular basis so now I'm not sure.

I put 5000 km on my 08, I tried sway bar in and out, different shock settings, changing ski stance and in the end I wound up with the sway bar in for the last 4000 km. Since nobody wants them you should be able to pick one up cheap, and then buy some of the quick disconnects for it so you can...

Sorry I can't remember the measurement but when I had to adjust mine I found a good thread on dootalk that had pictures from the factory manual on how to measure and adjust. If no one gives you better info you may have spend abit of time searching on dootalk. Good luck

I have had pity on all of his previous sleds.You are right he will run out of steam riding hard. I tried the rear foot rests on my xp and they kept breaking where the rivets attached to the tunnel, so unless the new xm rests are more durable it may not be worth the money, but it may be worth a...

I am with you, I picked up my sled on nov 5. Since then I rode it around the yard once with the kids and put it in the shop. We have snow I just have not been able to get out. It has been unused long enough that the wife started piling bags of empty cans on it. I do dream about shredding the...

Ya I have looked at the boards on my 14 and see that it is strengthened slightly, probably good enough for my 195 but when well over 300 I think more bracing would be good. Would love to see a pic of the racers edge braces.

Ya I am curious too, a buddy of mine just picked up a new xm 163 and he is 325 without gear. I'm looking at the running boards and looking at him and thinking there could be a bit of bending somewhere. Would be nice to strengthen it before trouble occurs.

After taking out the clip I used a dremmel to grind a slot into the bushing, I was super careful and took it down so that I could just collapse the bushing and push it out with a screwdriver. Pushed in the new one with a socket and some light taps with a hammer. I did put in some green loctite...

I find it much easier to take the entire secondary shaft and all off the first time to get at those stinkin torx, heat them up one at a time and the come out ok. Then replace with bolts and it's super easy in the future. I have tried to leave the top gear in place with a socket and have been...

The 08 pullers are a bit too long to get a good bite on the e techs, it will wreck the threads. You can grind off about 10 mm of the puller end and it will work. I always use the water trick to remove primary then I thread my old puller from my old 670x days into the clutch quite a few turns...

It is one of several main areas to ride near Barkerville.

Do you experience any performance issues when the light comes on?
