'09 XP motor mounts

[Brutis20]

I have been waiting a while for someone to ask this question but no dice so far. Anyway I looked up motor mounts fo the '09 summits (hillclimb edition at the time) and noticed that they are different part #'s than last year '08 summits.

I know it does directly say anything in BRP's bulletin about changed MM but they do say better alignment.

The big question is if these new MM are adjustable - so I can put these on my '08 and get better alignment. Has anyone VERIFIED this? Or are the rear ones still stationary for '09?

I was just wondering if a guy could by the '09 one and save the time.

I have read about the notching - have you had luck with this? Or is a shim kit better?

Have fun removing thae rear clutch side motor mount from the motor, almost impossible to get at.

That was one of the many updates for this year, you could do all of them on an '08, not sure it would be very cost effective though.

Cost effective??? Local machine shop MILLED my engine mount for $20. The engine mount is not hard to get out with the clutch off. It is necessary to do this mod unless you enjoy paying $150 every 30 miles for belts. Once you get the clutches aligned there is no need to spend more money on gearing and clutching.......But, hey you must be smarter than I am.

The reason it's a different part is the 08 ones had some breaking issues. As for better alignment I can not know if there is a difference.
