BRP Looking for input on what you want out of a snowmobile

[Sleeper700]

I put most of the things everyone has said, but I also added a wireless key/tether system similar to Teth-Air, Underhood compartment for goggles and gloves to dry off while sledding, and stock vent screens so snow doesn't pile up in front of the pipe,

I realize all the manufacturers try to put out the best machines they can at a somewhat reasonable price while meeting all the necessary regulations and such. Anything that improves areas that people are having issues with is good. I do not know enough about sledding or my sled to know what could be changed in overall chassis/engine design. I certainly can't ride mine now to its full potential. I've only owned doos, so nothing to compare to. I can't afford thousands more dollars for aftermarket parts to see if they are better or not. I am slowly adding or changing things as I find necessary for my riding. However, there are a few things that I would really like see.

A "factory trained technician" that can actually fix something or solve a problem, cheaper replacement parts and a home version of the BUDS software.

crank bearing issue resolved and them all built like the freeride with a few extra hp for fun, otherwise that sled is badass, my buddy has an all white and I don't see an issue with it other than knowing premature bearing failure is more than a possibility, performance, handling, and looks are all top notch

This Canadian BRP price thing still just upsets me to the point where I would be tempted to do what I did three years ago. In 08, I priced out a 07 demo XRS with low km. from a local dealer. End price with warranty was over 12k. I went over the U.S. border and bought a demo XRS with low km. and another one identical with a few more miles, both for 13k. So just recently I was talking to the same dealer in the U.S. and I can buy a demo 2010 XP and a 09 low miles with warranty for 13k. for both. Also, why is the cost of the U.S warranty cheaper than Canada. Why can't we be treated the same as a foreign country.

The only Bombardier product I own is a 96 GTX Sea Doo, it has been flawless, and I will never sell it. But any dealings I have had with BRP sleds has been less than stellar. The thing that really irks me is that my taxes ( I'm from Alberta) have gone to support Quebec and Bombardier and they still have the highest price in Canada for sleds. I won't even go into the quality of the product because I will just get FLAMED. I have had much better luck with Cat and Polaris sleds, and find them much more fun to ride. JMHO flame away.

BRP, build me a sled that is as flickable as a Cat, has a bulletproof engine pumpin 180 or so, coil-overs all around, a chassis that doesn't feel so awkward and clumsy, and a stronger bulkhead so that instead of bending that, it bends a arms. This reminds me of letters to Santa.
