hmmmm, doesn't make sense.
Maxwell preaches that these sleds are perfect out of the box.
No adjustments needed.
works perfect for all conditions.
Works perfect for all riders.
Absolutely perfect.
Perfect, he says.
Other sled brands need to be tweaked based on rider preference and conditions and that is why they are junk, but the XM's are perfect.
Isn't that right Maxwell?
Perfect.
seems like most of them are good out of the box, but that's why this thread is titled "XM Problem thread". go exhibit your man-crush symptoms somewhere else

Dont get me wrong. I love the sled. It rips in the trees and handles amazing but I obviously have something wrong with mine. Now I have to trust some dealer to fix it. Ie. clutching. Rave valves not working properly. I don't know but I need it fixed stat!! Any ideas from the doo crew?? New cats with 30 miles on them shouldn't be out performing me. Any suggestions on who In Edmonton I could take it to

You are obviously using alot of fuel and oil. Maybe a sensor is giving the ECU the wrong information causing a rich condition. Definately a dealer fix.

there has to be something up for sure. a '12 etec I ride with totally blows us out of the water for mileage and oil usage. on my odometer I put almost 120 miles on when we were in kakwa, and that was using my 'doo fuel can too, he doesn't even pack fuel and has almost a hundred lbs on me. they sure got his right

Can't comment on your problems, but so far in the climbing dept our XM's sure ain't laying a whipping on the 13 M8' or the 13 Pro. In fact in most cases all even the reverse Is true. Keeping enough track on the snow seems to be an issue.

Yesterday in revy 82 miles and my doo can and I ran out 200 yards from the truck. 3 days in revy and a full jug of oil gone.

bahaha..

settle down T-roy.....most Cats & Poo's run fantastic out of the box too, but as soon as someone posts a problem or concern, you doolaide freaks jump all over it and proclaim your doo worthiness and percieved perfection and preach that everyone that decides to ride other brands are idiots.....

just showin you doolaide guzzlers that even your "holy grail of sleds....lol" XM's have the odd issue too. Some are NOT perfect out of the box. Some XM's need the odd tweak to make them run and perform. Some need premature warranty work.....ie shouldnt have to rebuild an engine before 2000 kms but you Doo guys have too....if that's ok, then I am sure the issues that the other manufacturers are having will or have been covered and that should be ok also.

The amount I save on the sled price (vs the price of an XM), I can afford to buy accessories that are needed for my riding style.

Kind of funny how you reacted so quickly by telling me to get out of the XM thread....but yet you, Maxxy, and all the other doo cronies feel its ok to ruin a Cat thread or a Poo thread without even a second thought because you guys feel you are superior because you ride SkiDoo.

Don't get yer panties in a knot just because someone is polluting "your" "XM" thread.

it revs out because its so low (1500ft). You need to add pin weight to lower RPM's at low altitude.

Only 400km on mine, keeps getting better and better on fuel & oil. Can pull 7900 in deep pow straight up @2500m, clickers set on 3. Completely stock, excellent out of the box.
