Finally rode mine for more than 5 minutes. At 6000' on clicker 1 it would only pull 7000rpm. Went straight to clicker 4 and would only pull 7600rpm. Never tried any higher as sled only has 50km on it now so i will give it a chance to loosen up. I just wanted to see if anyone has some decent miles on these sleds yet and how the clutching has been. Clutch temps seemed to stay low though throughout the day which is good. Sure took me a few roll overs before i figured out not to try to hard to carve. Going from an 04 rev to this was quite a change. Sure love the 163,glad thats what I ordered. I dont think I will ever go back to something smaller.
Busting 4ft pow in -15 will cause this. The key is to recognize the problem is starting to happen and deal with it before it gets to a WOT problem. Its the nature of the conditions no matter what brand you ride.Any one else have problems with their throttle sticking freezing. My boss and i both had this happen to us, temp being around -15 c. mine hung up around 3500 while my boss hung up closer to WFO going to talk to dealer tomorrow.
It's snow getting in behind the throttle and melting. Then freezing. Blip the throttle before you start it an you will be fine. Having your thumb warmer on worsens. The condition. Nothing your dealer can do just nature like mentioned
I'm a super aggressive rider and can't believe the belt life on mine. I'm at 600 km and its pretty much wide open all the time. . I drive the snot out of it and no belt issue. If there was i woulda chewed through one by now. Gas is the only issue. I can kill a tank in 80 km cause I ride so aggressive. But wow I love this sled. My friends on other brands are getting sick of me talking about my xm. Which is funny cause I'm a old doo hater but brp nailed it with this sledFinally rode mine for more than 5 minutes.

Lol wish I was in 1 foot powder. No I was just riding here at home on the prairies. Barely any powder near the throttle at all. Put 2500km on my 600 etec busting drifts and have never had my throttle stick. New sled with less than fifty miles on it. Shouldn't be happening right.

Page 22??? Oh chit... Better go revive the old proclimb problem thread... You guys are starting to catch up!! Hehehehe
Went out for a 28k ride 163 xm and 08 154 xp when we got back noticed the xm non ported track was right full of snow and the xp ported track had next to nothing for snow. So the debate continues. I filled up a 20l bucket right full with snow and ice chunks to spare from the xm which weighed 12lbs on the scale.. The snow is light and fluffy right now. We both took turns leading all fresh trails.
What debate? Pretty common knowledge that ported tracks evacuate snow better than a non ported. Now BRP ported tracks, those are simply over ported. There is a fine line between porting and over porting.
group of us were just talking about sorta that issue, rode a copuple days with 2 XM's 2 Pro's. Both awesome choices for mountain sleds, but we got comparing in the trailer and the XM tunnel definetly retains more snow than the pro. The snow consistency was deep powder, 15 below ish so not sticky and we didnt make a point of knocking any snow out of either, just drove em in the trailer nad shut em off, very obvious. Even during the day riding the xm certainly holds more snow IN the tunnel. The new Pro and XM both worked really well. Ironically everyone was worried about the new Pro, no driveshaft clamp, and as it turned out the 163 XM had an issue, we got it back to the trailer but it had to take a day off the 2 nd day, the Pro and the other XM ran spot on.
