I've been looking for a sled this fall. I have narrowed it down to an M chassis. I have been riding an 05 M7 153 and really like the sled. More torque would be nice though because you really have to let the 7 wind up to make some climbs.
I ride over 10,000ft almost exclusively. I love the 7 in deep powder. I am 6'2" and 220 so I think I can throw around a well set up M1000. The sleds are almost the same price, and the possibility of getting the 1000 up to 190hp with light mods is very enticing.
One concern I have is that I see several 1000s with warranty replaced motors. Is there a problem? Is there an update that cures the problem? Can the warranty be transferred if there is one left? Am I just better off with the 8 for reliability?
Thoughts?
