I tried on the Klim and the XL was to loose. The L was real tight on my cheeks, I don't know if I could use to that. What do the Klim helmets retail for? Thanks for the offer.
Ever been left totally alone at the dealership?

This is how it should be. If you are a mod rider it should especially be like this with the parts guys. If you're in there they should also be able to remember what you're running for the most part too, I know the guys I go through do.
When I walk into my dealer he just usually asks me how its going and thats about it. If I need anything Ill go to the front desk and ask. I also dont mind paying a little extra to get my parts from him. Last winter I needed a part he didnt have in stock. Without this part I wouldve lost 2 weeks of riding and after I was going out of town until the season was over. He gladly took the part of a brand new sled on the floor and showed me how to install it.
Good dealers are hard to find. If you find one then stick with them and dont haul *** to the next shop over cause they can give you a new sled for $400 less.

Klim comes with 2 sets of cheek pads, and has several other sets ranging in thikness. Mine has the 20mm in it, and the 25 mm as an extra set. I would probably get the 15mm if the 20mm didn't break in after a few rides.
The helmet retails for $375. I'll sell mine $300 to your door, or anybodys door for that matter.
Tags are still attached to it.

Wellers are good peeps! Im with ya Ron Im neighbors with South Valley Motorsports and drive to Kamas when my Yammis need anything.Worst dealership I have ever stepped into. I wrecked a sled last year and had to have a dealer appraisal. The Edge came up with a figure of $2300. Took it to Wellers to get their opinion only because they are the only Ski Doo peeps I would allow to work on it. They deemed it totaled. $7000 in damage. They pulled the clutch and saw rubbing which indicated bent tunnel. Then it was off to the races. That was just one experience. I have had many ignored visits to The Edge Motor Sports. Sad thing is, they are only 4 miles from my house.Thumbs Down for sure.

Can we please keep it clean? My kids read this.
You got me!! I had to go reread my post.
I was not at all pleased with The Edge Motorsports last year, to the point that I gave up the deposit I had down on my 08 XP so that I wouldn't have to keep talking to them and getting treated like a retard (After a few years as a mechanic at another dealership and a lifetime of doing my own mods, even I know that no matter how good an electric start system is, it will not make a sled lighter, if it did I would have wanted to spend the extra money to pay for the kit that they had taken the liberty of installing on my sled????). On the other hand, every time I have walked into ADS Motorsports in Ogden, everyone stops (even if they are helping someone else), smiles, and greets with something along the lines of "How are you today? Feel free to look around and we would be happy to help if you need something or just have questions." Very good way to greet the type of customer that typically walks through the door of a dealer. No pressure, but still very friendly and helpful.
Exactly!!!!!!
That is the biggest reason I did business at Vickery in Denver when I lived there.

Remindes me of looking at boats last year with my buddy. It was 1 hour till closing time and they were putting the boat we wanted to look at in the shop. ( 26" Cobalt) Keep in mind we were driving my buddys spare beat up Blazer. We asked if we could see it and the old man told us sorry but we could never afford it anway so NO. He bought a 29" Fountain the next weekend. The same dealer called my mom all summer trying to sell here another Cobalt. Sorry CDA Yaught Club, You will never see another red cent from us.

At the Skit Doo dealership in my town there is almost never anyone in the front. I usually look around and find what I want then go in the back and find them bsing.
At the yamahaw shop there is usually at least two employees in the front and they stumble over themselves to ask if they can help. The only problem with them is last time I was there it was with my wife to look for a helmet for her. The girl helping us imediately took my wife to the modular helmets and started the sales pitch on them. I thought to myself, she...my wife...will not like this. I was wrong, she liked the modulars. I had to step in and say no to the modular. I immediately told my wife we had to leave and then had her pizzed cause I didn't let her finish looking at the helmets.
I'll stick to the ski doo shop. That was a dirty trick the yamahaw girl pulled.

seems to me all the dealers in the salt lake valley suck. Kevco has good luck with Mtn High Polaris(?) or somethin but the rest of them arent worth fish guts from what Ive seen. Ive had the same experience at Edge and South Valley. Having said that most dealers have their +'s and -'s. some just seem to be all -'s.
Yacht club been trying to sell me a new boat for the last three years. Finally went in to check out the new Malibu's this spring cause they tell me only way to move from my existing slip at the resort and into a new slip at Blackwell island is to purchase a new boat from them. I thought they were kidding initially. Reluctantly I went in and looked at the boats the old man hardly gave me the time of day. I was interested in working the numbers for gee wiz and he tells me the price is on the sticker like I'm some kind of retard (who pays retail for a $90,000 boat?) That was the first and last opportunity they had with me. Ended up going to the new Master craft dealership the next week and purchasing a new boat. Gladly gave me a great deal.The following week I get a call from the marina manager that they have a new slip ready to go for me (i had been on a waiting list for 2 years) Unbelievable.
i have two guys i work with one i buy sleds from which is about 350 miles away and i have bought 2 from him in the last 4 years and all i have to do is call him up say my name and he knows who it is and what sled i have had and tells me what i should do or need, he is great mechanic to boot. And for the trivial stuff close to home i have a guy same thing never bought a sled from but buy parts and he knows what myslef and my freinds run. only had one bad experice with a dealer had money in hand wife and i went in was going to get a sled and was there for about a half hour no one ever came buy. So left went right next door and bought my first sled a yamha mm 700 and the rest is history!!
