Agreed with seT up

The setup factor can be huge....did you happen to eyeball the 3 sleds to see how the suspensions were set? I know I can loosen or tighten the front skid shock on the XM too far and realy hose up the handling. I'm sure that goes for all those sleds.

. Agreed I don't think you can just ride ride once and pass much judgement. (ie.) If a sled wheelies to much, then set up the suspension according. Sidehilling may be a little more characteristic of the machine and as weight. But I have spent a lot of time tuning my sled for me and for someone else it would be a mess. I personally prefer light. Thanks for the input that's why we're here.

Unfortunately, you kind of have to. I got to ride each for a couple hours, back to back, in an area I actually ride often....that's about as good a "test drive" as I would realistically expect. I have never been able to do that before purchasing a sled in the past. I'm sure all could have benefited from additional suspension set up for weight and riding style.....all I can offer is that they all seemed to be set up relatively neutral and with nothing glaringly out of line of where the average person would set it.

JayNelson, Great review! Very consistent with what I our experience was on the Polaris and the Cat. Unfortunately only got to ride last year's XP as did not have an XM in the group. My two sons 16 and 12 yrs REALLy liked the feel of the Pro-RMK so that's what we're picking up on Saturday! Will be the lightest of our fleet now by quite a bit since the other three are Nytros (stock, mild, wild). Just unfortunate that Yamaha has not come out with anything new that is completely there own for so long as Walt Healy, our dealer, has been great...

Thanks for the read Jay. Personally I think the poo is right on. Did ride one beside an AC M and my Xp and was impressed. Hope they work out the bugs. As I said light is my bag. Ride on!
