Just looking for some info on a used Pro. Is there a certain year to look for or stay away from? Major updates I should look for?

thanks

Ditto on the 13-15 being the best years to look for.

I have had a 13 since new and haven't had any issues at all, as has been said already there were quite a few improvements to the 13-15 over the 11-12s

14s have the revised quick drive belt.

Regardless of year, your first concern should be kms on machine and if the motor has a fix kit and a turned up oiler. Common problem with the 800 is a loose piston that will grenade the motor eventually. The 13-15 year motors seem to be lasting longer than the 11-12's but a fix kit should be high on your list if you want an 800 engine to last. Pro's with 1500 miles or more are due for the fix!

3000 miles on my 2011 163 never had an issue. Sold the sled with 2 years of warranty left. Never got a fix kit installed and she never skipped a beat.

That's great bud. Glad your had better luck than a lot of others. Some motors last longer than others. Anyways,this is a well known problem with a relatively simple fix, not a deal breaker as the pro is an amazing chassis, just something to be aware of if your considering a second hand sled purchase.
