They did the same last year and they said that it was a problem with the company that made them not charging them properly.. But i guess that they didn't get that fixedfor this year. Put a holz rear skid in it or a racers edge skid in it.. Problem solved and a way better skid to boot.

Then i'd go into your dealer and complain as they should fix that under warranty.

I trully hope everyone get warrenty for thier shocks, but good luck getting it at Turple Bros in Red Deer. They told us flat out if it's not recalled it wont be replaced. Or has to be totally gone. We pondered hard about buying out of the US but decided to SUPPORT local and get the warrenty. Well I know were I'm buying from next time...well at least were I'm not . Love BRP..hate TB

we have not had any issues with the rear clicker shock on the hillclimb models. maybe that is the upgrade folks should be asking for?

I have an 08 XP 154 everest and it too started to sag pretty good. My dealer replaced for me while it was in for the crank recall. From what I heard in the shop that day the problems seems to be in the valving of the shocks but skidoo is still persuing the charge angle. Have to wait and see how it all pans out. I suspect that a lot of shocks will get fixed/replaced twice before all is said and done.

We rent out several rmk/dragon 800's and they sag more than the doo's do right off the showroom floor.. So before you try pokin fun at the competition you should pay close attenttion to the poo that you ride.. A buddy of mine has less than 400 miles on his brand new dragon 800 '09 and he blew the rear shock out of it.. Just a bit of info for yah..

was at martins thursday, was looking at a 09 out in the parking lot when a mech walked by i asked why the sag? he said shock wasn't charged enough, i guess it needs 300 of nitrogen. i changed my 07 for a fox float works very nice!:d
