XM Mods

Holy cow. I just got back from the maiden voyage on my XM. I cant believe how impressed I am. Not touching a thing.

New 14? I agree with that! My 14 seems slightly peppier than the 13 aswell

Rode a 14 today and it feels the same as my 13 when I got it, my 13 with the clutching I have in it now made my 13 much more fun then the 14 in stock form and much peppier, maybe the 14s come with different stock clutching then the 13s?

The start of the season is always a "refreshing" feel.
It's virtually impossible to compare from 6 months ago.

True, I rode it once before I put the kit in this year also, forgot to mention

Yeah brand new 14 163 SP. I still cant believe there is nothing I want to change. The new boards are the real deal, clutching is bang on, and it pulls alot harder than I thought it would. I thought I would be giving up power coming from my 2010 with a 14:1 head. Thing absolutely hauled. But Im sure this sled would out pull it hard. Even little things like the storage in the front and back. Love it.

I am surprised though by the XP haters jumping on them and saying they are a completely new sled? I find the handling almost the same as my 2010 with the S-36 kit? The XM still has the same negative handling characteristics of the XPs IMHO. But I have always loved the XPs.

Just got the roosterbuilt kit in the ole girl and first ride on it! Worked awesome very impressed! And new diamond s mesh hood on the way with rigid dually lights waitin to go on! Just gotta figure out where the best place to get power for them is? Any ideas guys?

had the computer updated on my 13Xm and the hot grips actually got too hot!!had to turn them down.Anyone else notice that?I hope that wasn't just a one day thing!

 

[deaner]

I cant believe how hot they get. Was a really nice change from past summits. Great for drying wet gloves out.

 

[etecheaven]

Spent the day putting on accessories and understanding the sled and where everything is and making sure everything is tight. I do this with every new sled, I don't like to be the jackass that needs someone else to fix his ****.

Need to update tool kit for all the new size nuts and bolts.

Took it for a rip and I can't wait to hit the hills.

Braaaaaaap!

You're going to have to tape over the KYB logo on your wrap.

Well I put on some reversible scratchers on , moved the skis to the wide stance.

Till I get more used to it and before I switch skis with the xp 6.9's thought I'd try it wider.

Still way better on fuel than the xp even in break in mode.

I thought guys where losing it when they were asking where to mount the ice scratchers. But then i go to install the ones I bought and I cant find a place to mount them that works good thats not way at the back of the rails.

 

[tex78]

Had to drill 2 holes.

There's ones for the springs all ready , then installed the clip mounts in the top rear idler wheel hole ( had to move the one back to work ) .

That's where my xp had them. Worked fine.

Just a question maxwell. Have you always rode with an mbrp can? I heard they were only rated for sea level? I switched to a TSS can this year because of that and also 2lbs lighter. What are your thoughts?

 

[m8welder]

Ive got an mbrp can on my xm and it wirks fine even at 10000 feet.

Do you think TSS or MBRP, the THING,, ext tune their cans for elevation?? Think you might be over estimating there engineering knowledge

Why do shops take baffles out of mbrp cans to ride at elevation? Reputable shops in Edmonton do this. I would think it would have to be for a good reason. Maybe for the highest flow possible?

You would want the opposite for elevation. The air is less dense so you would want it a bit more restrictive to maintain power.

 

[InFeRnO]

Removing baffles for less flow? Doesn't quite make sense.
