The turbo'd one just blew a dd. He got another one now and he is going to get it kryo'd to hopefully make it stronger.

I have 265 miles on my 08 1000 162", ALL hard mountain miles. The belt looks new still and hav`nt had An issue yet. The sled climbs like a dream, i had to suck up the limiter a bit for the real steep hills. It may not have the xp snap at bottom end but its sure makes up for it, this 1000 power seems very similar to diesel power, low revs and tonnes of torque. No compalints.

A person is able to order a different diamond drive that is alot tougher than the stock one.. They say it will take over 350hp...

i had one and i personally dont think its all that i would take a 800 polaris dragon anyday over a m, the d8 runs like a dream, ride with 2 of them all the time, mine was also modded pretty heavily and i think it was just ok for the money i spent on it. Now im trying a different approach and going to the boosted nytro i need to go fast.lol

Has anyone had any probs with the crank seal failing? Mag side i think.
I had to take my new 08 M-1000 sno-pro to the shop as it would run like crap, almost like a fouled plug. Four long months of trouble shooting the shop said the mag side crank seal was leaking. By the time i got her back (mid April) there was no snow left. It did run well enough to back it off the deck and into the garage, but thats as far as i could go. It only has 317 miles.
Let me know. what you all think and what else i should look for.
Thanks.

Every Sled has its few little issues. I love my 1000 and will never go back to an 8 as long as Im on a two stroke. The power is amazing and like mentioned before the thing just tractors. Some mentioned 800's whippin on the 1000 and for what Ive seen and done, that would be all rider. My buddy went to a 159x2.5 and dropped 3 grand into his rev just to follow my lines. I love my M1000 !

You're a 1000cc addict Nutz.... I'm talking to Don about picking up an '08 M8 from him. Should know within the next week if I'm changing my underwear from yellow to green.
