Finally ordered a 2014 summit 163x White/black on Saturday.
Rotax if you are going through Saskatoon on the way then count me in on your trip. I'm always wanting to get in on a trip.
Seems like a lot of people are going with the red on black this year and lots of people getting estart?? Is it difficult starting an etec?
Honestly the 800 etec is pretty damn hard to start. After starting my 800 etec all year when I hop on a a buddy's Polaris 800 it feels like there is something wrong with the engine the Polaris is so easy to pull. The only thing that makes it decent to pull over is that it fires on the first downstroke so the rest of the pull gets easier. But forget to turn off the kill switch and you'll be reminded that that engine has a ton of compression. And at -25 it takes a serious effort to get it going.
That said, I have a pull start and if I was to get another I'd get a pull start.

I can easily start my 12 etec sitting down even on the coldest of days it really is not that difficult!That's interesting, it's usually only -5 to -10 where we ride but the first time I yanked on an XM I almost ripped the cord right out when it came to the end of the stroke lol. I am used to my 1000 and when it's not warmed up it's a solid two hand pull. The XM was a ton easier than that thing.
