Skidoo xm problem thread..........

[LBZ]

Not really a problem just an update bulletin. Got a call from the Wetaskiwin dealer that they needed to check that my headlights were installed properly as I guess a few weren't assembled correctly at the factory. Also they want to change out the dimmer switch.
It was a funny conversation kinda. He asked when I could bring it in and I said it's probably sitting in the same place it has been for the last 45 days-in their showroom! Going to be picking it up on fri-pretty excited!

that sucks, I've been riding 'doo for many years and that is one area they consistantly sh!t the bed. I don't think I've ever had one with good stock warmers that work good in the cold. my buddy's cat can cook a cheese smokie if you taped it to the bar.

I lost the "S" button on my gauges yesterday

apparently those things are magnetic .. guess i'm getting a new one

Also, broke a tab off that huge vent thing above my can .. easily fixable with a screw

but then again, most things in life are easily fixable with a screw!

Weird. The ones on my '04 Rev worked great. Couldn't use high as they were too hot even.

OMG, Brp has to do a mass recall of very sled ever sold with grip heaters NOW. Can you imagine the suffering and very probable loss of life. People are gonna be in the back country , freeze their fingers and totally immobilize their hands and lose the ability to operate this vehicle. This also would cause this sled to be impossible to tow out, cause of the inability to hook anything up or hang on even if being towed, so most likely would result in death in the back country. I would strongly advise you only ride these type of sleds in easily accessible areas and only on very warm days, thereby minimizing the risk of death and major suffering.
This is totally unacceptable, what kind of company would put their users at this kind of risk, I smell a mass torte case coming soon against BRP for knowing this situation exists and continuing to sell these sleds and using the unsuspecting Doolaid drinkers as R & D dummies.
It just isn't right, call phone or email today.
THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED, people's lives are at stake.

First ride on mine and everything was working on the warmers.

Thanks for your concern.
You can help fix doo's heater issues, and we will help fix your pop can driveshafts.

Heaters work toooooo good on my XM always turning them down. However you do have to be driving. The voltage comes from the stator which can provide more juice to the Warner's if the sled is in action.

I have a feeling its going to be a long time before anyone see's a proper fix for the pop can driveshafts.....

man, I've never had a pair work that good. the only time I need them seems to be at night and once it gets around -20.

yeah, not too many times do i sit on my idling sled with cold hands wishing my warmers worked better....lol. Almost bought an XM this year but decided against it, maybe next year...the handwarmers certainly aren't a dealbreaker, would be nice to have some that worked better.

They are a problem. They work now but for how long? I know on our 2008 they never worked properly. And even my 2010 they were intermittent at best

lol...on my '08 they weren't that good and then one quit. so they gave me one to replace it instead of a pair. the replacement one worked a lot better than the original, and mine had the cork backing that some earlier builds didn't have. every time I get a new one my hopes are dashed of having good bar heaters, i hope they have it sorted out now.

Just go straight for the throat eh? haha

My 2007 heaters would always turn themselves off or just not work, the 2012 freeride ones worked awesome, low and high. I'm hoping for the same on this one
