They recalled the jack shafts on the 09, the cranks on the 07. Wonder what they'll recall this year? Not recalled, but gave warranty for any blown. Actually, when I was working as the mechanic up at Crooked Creek, they warrantied our belts because we were blowing so many of them. Went through two bottom ends on our '10's. They are junk. But once you get a feel of how to ride them, you'll never want to ride anything else. They outperform anything else.The XP is a decent sled when it runs. The problem is Doo is in the market of selling parts and engines and belts. They have been since the mid 90's. There is a reason Doo and Polaris are neck and neck in blown engines. If you don't think Doo goes through motors just try and order a short block. Pretty tough to get one right now.
The XP may be refined for 2010 and 11 but i have run in to numerous guys with 2010's with 100-300 miles that were riding rentals because their beloved XP chit itself ! What i don't get is all the brand loyalty on such a piece of junk ! Sure its light ! But the reliability is in the tank !
finally gave up...bought 2 08 nytro mtx 4 yrs ago....put new belts on 2 yrs ago ...because we thought we should we should

the pro ride doesnt seem so bad after reading a good portion of these responses...My guess is that the response will be much more positive than the Poo survey.
Those are some pretty harsh words!! I can personally relate to having a hard time to boondock but that was untill i figuered out how to ride the chassis. After 4 rides i can safely say i can boondock the Xp as good or better than any other sled out there. Getting your weight further back on the running boards and angle the bar riser back to were its inline with the steering post changes how the sled reacts 100%. I love the Xp platform, i just wish they would build a decent seat with some storage.
Into the third season on my 09 xp, I've decided that it will never handle the way a sled should. Plain and simple it sucks. I've swaped the ski's, done the limiter strap, even changed to a timbersled suspension and at the end of it all, if you want to boondock, this isn't the sled. You work your *** off to get it to carve a little. I can't even get it to tip up. I'm switching to a polaris or Cat next year. I'll keep the XPs because I won't take the bath on resale and I'll let my kids and friends use them. They are dependable, fast, stable and all that. No mechanical problems, still on first belt, etc. They just don't boondock. At all. Pretty sad for an otherwise decent sled. Doo really missed it on these.
I had the same problem. I had to work twice as hard as my buddies who were on M8 Sno Pro's. But the 2011 is almost as easy to boondock as an M8, and the suspension is way better. It cost me a bundle to upgrade but totally worth it now. Plus I got the Etech engine. Just sick.
