Skidoo requires XM's to use clicker1 for all trail riding? Otherwise reed valves fail

Why would you not want clickers? It is easy clutching adjustment.

Last season didn't touch the Etec clickers once. I believe due to the low gearing it can perform in all snow conditions and loads.

Up at quartz on the weekend I was only getting 7200 rpm in position 1 on the clickers and the sweet spot is 7800rpm plus or minus 100 rpm so I had to switch to number 5 . That gave me 8000 rpm which seemed good. Maybe a little high. That was on my 163 Xm.

Yep but now you may never need to change them again. Maybe lol

So it has nothing to do with over-revving... it has to do with a constant throttle speed and the engine not being loaded which creates high back pressure which damages the reeds. Or at least that's what he told me. Warranty not covering the reeds was my big beef though.

im not a mechanic, but I'm pretty sure the reeds are stored between the bumpers. aren't they?

Thats deep stuff. Were your shoes smelling like horse manure after he finished his spiel?

 

[m8welder]

Yeah I will just leave it in 5 now. You just can't rev the ch!t out of it on the trail, look at the rpms the odd time. If we ever get snow at home I may click them back

Do you not go by rpms like the sticker by the clutch says?

Re: Skidoo requires XM's to use clicker1 for all trail riding?

Ya but 5-6 is not so efficient to put power down. After 4 a guy should look at either more or less pin weight to get back in the meat.

i would suggest driving to bowridge in cochrane or motortech in golden for warranty claims... bowcyle will say no warranty coverage without even putting in a claim to BRP and then they will continue to over charge. i had reeds warrantied last year, it is definitely within the bumper to bumper.

Why would any dealer deny legit warranty work......not like they aren't making money off it

because the manufacturer BRP doesnt like when the dealer makes warranty claims (it cost BRP), BRP will actualy compare all these numbers and when you are the lowest BRP is happy with you and life is a bit easier..... in the car business warranty pay is also lower then customer pay so the dealer makes more money when they charge the customer and this is not kool...

good dealers will fight for the customer a bit so to speak.....

try them on 3 next ride,, 7900 is ideal not 8000... power falls off after the peak 7900 so stay under if anything...

I left mine on 3 all season last year 2012 etec golden fernie revy,,,, I agree with Maxwell didnt see any reason to play with them they were spot on

Mine were put on 3 by the dealer I assume since that is where they were wnen I picked it up 1400km later they haven't been changed. Seem to work perfect right there.
