confused: Had my new XP out last weekend, the thing runs great on the trail but as you climb it starts to run rich, above 5500 feet it does not have enough power to even spin the track. Has any one else experienced this my dealer is finally back to work on th Jan. 5th hopefully he can solve the problem. Very dissapointing spend $200.00 on fuel to drive to the mountains and then have you new sled run like a pos.

I'd be more upset about spending $12000 on a sled that doesn't run right. Hopefully your dealer figures it out soon.

It is the DPM solonoid. easy fix! remove airbox. Spray dpm solonoid with WD-40 then tap with a screw driver to get the corrosion out/off. A few of them have done this.

Thank You for the info, took it to the dealer today and the changed the solenoid on the DPM. He said this is the second one he has replaced this winter, but also said it is an easy fix just like FoxStar45 said.

Thanks again hope others read this incase it happens to them.:)
