Best solution and the proper fix to a broken driveshaft is a new XM

This may be the best post of 2012. Fully agree

Doo makes awesome machines no doubt, their biggest drawback IMO is the arrogant Holier Than Thou attitude of the guys riding them

That comes at no extra charge. Along with the breakaway fuel return line. Sort of like the driveshaft clamp and jug of oil that comes free with every pro.

I see it comes in yellow to bad you can't make a fuel line with it.........

The best place for it would be across the mouths of the people always starting these stupid threads!

Nice to see this, I was starting to feel bad that the cats were left out of the constant bickering.

The problem with Cats is they always start on the third pull, provide a relaible and fun experience, and then get loaded onto the trailer every time. BORING..

Yawn, yet another driveshaft post. So between a $70 dollar aftermarket fix (that was available in the middle of november) and an official polaris warranty fix that completely eliminates the issue the doo crew is still not satisfied.

Haha! Very nice. What are you riding this year? I remember you talking last spring after the Chris Brown clinic that you were going to replace your Dragon.

I sold one of the Polaris and bought a cat.

I still have a Polaris (2008 IQ with a UNion Bay engine) and have owned more Skidoo's than most people on this site. I am not real brand loyal so picking the 2010 M8 was pretty easy. It is a very good sled. If I buy a new one next year, it would be a tough choice between the Cat, Doo, or Pro. A good case can be made for any of them but Cat has a very good dealer close to where I have a cabin.

I will probably go that way.

Nice, ya, I'm not brand loyal at all, and the only reason I bought a Pro last year was because of the dealer. If Bowcycle wanted to treat me like crap from the time I walked in the door to when I left, I wasn't going to buy from them. Walked into Cycleworks and was actually helped out, even though they didn't have any Pros left when I bought, they called around and found one for me. If I decide to update my sled next year, or the season after it will be a tough choice. They are all getting so good, guess I will see what happens in the spring.

Well after riding my XM out on the lake with 2' of snow there aint enough tape in that roll to keep the snow out to stop the belt from slipping bogging and just ran like what the #### have I bought. The first real riding on it and not impressed rpm all over the place at wide open and the temp was -20.

Same thing every year on most of the brands. Extremely cold temps, lots of fine snow dust and freezing throttles, slipping belts and frozen carbs and or parts. Get a screen kit for the clutches and internal snow build up. Things will improve when the temps warm up and the snow starts to glom together better.

Ya the temp was not faverable but my other sleds ran good with carb heaters on. Filled it up going thru town 36.9kms and 32liters of fuel and 16k was idleing around at home hope it gets better and to top it off lost the ramp to my Newman sled trailer after the flue for 3 days.

37 kms and 32 liters? You may have another issue then. I would have your dealer look at it. Something is telling the ECU to feed it way to much fuel.
