new 08 xp slipping....

[northerns4]

first time its warmed above -30 so we went out today.. (btw tried my friends new dragon 800)

i have like 35km on the sled total now after a good evening of riding..
we took the trail down to the river and practiced leaning them and everything felt normal.. wasn't till the trip home i noticed the rpms were rising for "cruising" btw the time i got home its like between 6000-7000 cruising. but if i snap the throttle it hooks and goes, its just hte cruising it feels "rough" as well.. take that mildly. its too dark out tonight and i'm not really allowed to the wife says but any ideas on what i should start looking for?

thanks

i just did.. clutch alignment between primary and secondary and some guys say it just needs a 377 belt... but i thought thats what it came with.

i did another search under some different words and i guess they just seem to do that on hte trails... crazy

you are correct 6000 is normal for this sled being stock.

The 08's did this from sticky arms in the primary, open clutch and clean.
