Finally got a new sled....

After what seemed like an eternity on my 2002 Summit 800 Sport 144, I have moved up the ranks and purchased a 2008 Everest 154, it came with an RKT head and an aftermarket can (not sure which brand???). So my question is, which mods/tweaks should I do? :D

Nice, You'll love it.

Out of experience the first thing I would do is get the clutching perfect, Really Helps.
Then I would ditch the sway bar, soften up the suspension (depending on your weight).
That will realy help the handling.

<<<<<<<<<DEFINATLEY a Skid-Plate.>>>>>>>>

You already have the only motor-mods you'll need.
Maybe Flo-Rites in the Air-Box.
Remove all Unnesessary foam etc....

Congrats on your new sled and have fun
 
1- DJ helix or the 44/33 doo will work good enough
2- USI thriple threat skis worked the best for me
3- BOSS seat (good luck getting one)
4- Order a new bumper now, will will need it
5- skid plate
6- Smitty has a sweet drop down kit, i think its $95ish
7- buy a clutch puller and forks if you dont already have them, clean the hell out of the primary if its dirty, repet this process every 3-4 rides until the original factory added funk is gone, the guy before you have have done this already??
8- pull the sway arm linkage, zip tie the remaining arm to the sled somehow
9- trim each side of your track, basically remove about 1/8" off of each side, it will rub and maybe cause real damage
10- check the drive shaft, a few of them broke the whatever ya call it weld on either side, most broke on the chaincase sidee
11- does it have the original gearing?....is so, Doo will gear you do for free, see a dealer
12- the the hand warmers work, this is also under warrenty


Have fun, the XP is still the best sled i have ever had/ridden....
 
Well, apart from the obvious:

Changing out the jackshaft to accept a real secondary,
Heated grips, drive shaft repair, etc.. I would just ride it.

I myself would not drop the back end. My Rev has it done to accept the 2.5" track, and it is a dog to handle in set up snow... can't see it being any different on the XP. In the deep it does rock, but I am talking about
4 feet plus. I am thinking of removing the drop, and going with a smaller upper idler. I compared the 2 setups, and I know.

That sway bar linkage... not worth it, if you never put it back in... carry a wrench IMO.

Have fun! it won't be as bullet proof as the ZX though///:D
 
That's wicked James. What an upgrade. You're going to have a permagrin all of this coming season :)
 
Permagrin is right! CONGRATS!

See ya for Thanksgiving? :D
