Hey TA, how are your handwarmers, mine crapped out today riding the snowies. I had about 3/4 of an inch of cord coming out of the belt, clicked up to 4 and did not have any more coming out. I have all the pin weight from the factory in my sled and at 10,600 was pulling 8000-8100 rpm in 3-5 feet of powder.
Need to get the warmers working as my freaking hands are about the only part of me that gets cold.
Hope things get sorted out for you.

so far the hand warmers are ok on our 2 sleds.i just think BRp should take care of us especially after the 07 clutch problems..as far as regearing ,if BRP had left the 08 like the 07 [19-45] i wouldnt be regearing and probably wouldnt be buying a new belt !
Come on T/A dropping the top gear is along the same lines as swapping a helix's or a spring imo. As for the heat in the clutch creating belt issues well that just another skidoo/tra trademark that i believe skidoo has a patent on. LOL
Im just waiting for my shaft to arrive from Goodwin, so i can fix what skidoo historcally fails to want to fix, address or cure.
Most of my Primary & Secondary cure has arrived just waiting for the part from Goodwin to arrive.....Theres a reason 99% of Skidoo own racers prefer TEAM.

kinda like yamaha riders knowing there sleds are fat and slow, so spent 10 grand to make it go? it goes both ways oldskool!
Those parts are looking good!!!!!!!!
I've got mostly the same, hyperlite, shaft, but no sled....picking that up saturday.
And, as a side note, I'm having a few shafts made by my freindly local machinist......

TA-I'll bet you a steak dinner that it's more than just gearing. My Dragon pulls 20/41 (2.05) with a 2.4-163" track, no clutch heat, no belt dust etc. Wonder why the XP can't pull lower gears-maybe different driver size? Some could be setup but you said yours was good. So what about the jackshaft in line with the engine pulses?
Hope they find a cure, you guys don't deserve another year like we had in 07.

Good move OT, the Team driven solves half the clutching problem. Did you know that the TRA primary weighs 12 lbs vs 7 for the P85? BRP missed an easy 5lbs for the diet of the XP. Rotax could have built the engine internals for a lighter primary and the second benefit would have been more HP to the track.
I put a Team on my 07 Summit but couldn't pull as much helix as with my 05 Polaris 800. Both engines had about 151HP but the Doo had more torque and broader power band. Poo 66-44-.42 vs Doo 58-42-.36. Some could have been the track but most the inefficient TRA. I thought about adding the P85 too, but was afraid to risk it with the cranks blowing like popcorn.
With the high jackshaft I think I'd be adding a torque arm to the clutch side and a torque stop to the mag side to control torsional vibes. I see Cudney is adding a solid UHMW piece to the rear engine mounts to stiffen things. You can only tie it in so tight before transferring the vibes somewhere else though.
I'll be watching, sure like the weight of the XP but not the rest of the package-yet!

I only have about 30 miles on my sled, and did notice about 1 inch of cord sticking out of my belt. After all the talk of people regearing from 21 to 19, i was thinking about throwing that 19 tooth gear in, and was wondering if i need to touch my clutch at all? I have also thought about putting some flowrites on my clutch side, pannel to get a little more air flow.
Thanks

Ahh,,,but Yamaha riders go in buying willing to spend the money to have a bad *** sled , the Ski Doo rider bought a sled assuming that warranty and the company would look after them.

Just rode Revy last week with my buddy and his brand new Summitt. Put on a couple hundred miles with no belt/clutch issues. sounds like you have a setup problem? Maybe your clutch needs to be shimmed or your engine isn't quite square or something?? Just my 2cents.

This sound so much like an 05 900 rmk! It's really kinda funny. People will justify until the end and still tell everybody that the sled rips until they have bought 15 belts, 3 trips to the dentist cuz their molars have shaken out, more torque stops, gearing, handwamers, fire hazard, lower hp etc.... This is just funny to me, I just like to ride. But hey it's light right?
