Apparently you can get higher resale value so take advantage of it while you can.....mind you, you paid more up front......:dontknow:

Sounds like you need to find a better mechanic. What you are describing are minor problems. Except the handlebars. How stuck were you?

Maybe you need explain the problem better to the dealer - your posts run on and are hard to decipher. Not saying there isn't problems but sounds like you ride like you write.

I think everyone on here has rode a sled since they were knee high.. And I here you on the not having any issues till after 3000kms so do you think a Cat or Pro are trouble free up to 3000kms? Or cause you bought the first year of an XM that had some minor issues that they are not fixed in years 14' and 15'? I also had a 13' XM and realize you may have a couple of hiccups buying the first year, which you also realized when buying it.

I think Yamaha is the sled for you as they are by far the most reliable sled out there but why are they not the most popular sled out there? Weird hey? Too expensive maybe lol.
