I'm at a loss for words!....almost
The ignorance is simply so thick in this particular thread that any reasonable comments or helpful advice is knocking on this ignoramus' door and I'm pretty sure no one is home to answer.
I respect every competent riders CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM in regards to their sleds' reviews but this is nowhere near close to being A) from a competent rider B) Constructive C) helpful or D) thought provoking.
Alright POINDEXTER, again with the too much flotation..... You haven't elaborated on this fact. I, myself, as well as my fellow snowesters following this thread would like to see you explain your seemingly infinite wisdom in your rebuttal, not just more word garbage.
And really?..............really?..............You're comparing a stock RENTAL XP to "your" turboed Polaris? Am I wrong in thinking that a turboed sled of any kind will carry it's skis higher and further than a rental XP? If I'm wrong, you wasted a nice chunk of dough on your snowmobile.
Now please, with all due respect, respond to this (yet again) with an unrelated comment about mine or someone elses style of riding style, or better yet our choice of sleds and further continue to dig yourself a hole into what will soon become a bottomless pit of ignorance and sheer fatuity.
OK i guess ill change the flotation comment to Light as hell squirelly rear end. The sled glides, but not in a good way, it raises the skis up and we all know that when your hot rodding it up the hill your gonna go an eighth the way a sled with skis on the ground will. Its control is responsive but is wild. ALSO I wasn't comparing my sled to the rental, I know that my sled will spank any Ski-Doo up the hill all day long no doubts. But i am talking about stock on stock. You seem to think that I am making a very drastic and biased comparison between a bone stock ski-doo and a boosted polaris.
Well im not, im simply complaining that ski doo has made a sled this year that is under the bar for quality and performance, the rotax motor is a powerful motor dont get me wrong, but BRP trying to lighten up the chassis so its practically like riding a brittle glass bottle waiting to crack.
Meanwhile BRP has so many claims put into there shops and people are waiting unheard of backed up shop and repair times. Nobody can go on trips. So by the time you are getting your jackshaft bearings, A-arm's, Exhaust Valves, Fuel Tank cracks (08), handwarmers etc. repaired your personal season is over, and your ticked that you got no time in, because they can't fit you in.
So in all my "infinite wisdom" what? ok? I am making logical complaints that some can agree with, unfortuneately you have to much pride to admit the problems.
Plus how can you evaluate my riding by the criticism I shove on this forum? Every guy and there ego thinks that they are the best sledder in history. I believe maybe its you. You think I am so bad, you try and come up with these mediocre theories about my riding because of my opinion on your toy. Well my hats off to you man, you are a modern day genius for your opinion on me personally, if thats how you argue the performance of your machine. Then you sir are the winner of the forum argument, but your still the low mark on the mountain. You can keep going if you want, I have time and education on my side.

Thank you oberg! It looks like we're making some progress here. We might still find some class in you yet
Understandably ski-doo has had some warranty issues and quite honestly, their fair share of them. I personally have not ordered an XP until they set things straight and get some of the issues "cleaned up".
I ride with many XPs and have seen how they compare with other manufacturers models' out there and either the guys I ride with are "expert" riders or there is some really poorly tuned new sleds out and about. Around Bozeman I've yet to find many stock sleds that can hand them a beating. I'm not saying it can't be done. There are great tuners out there with every brand of sled.
The Rev and the XP are extremely hard to get used to after coming off anything else. Honestly I didn't like mine when I bought it but I saw how well they did on the hill and in the deep that I told myself I would learn how to ride it and I'm glad I did. It doesn't just take a couple of days.
Now I appreciate your opinion but constructively speaking this is coming from someone who is not used to the chassis and clearly this rental is not properly set up for your style of riding. If you don't like it, thats fair enough but your approach was all wrong.
It's good you like your Polaris. Keep it. And the rest of us will ride what we ride and in the end we're all just out there for the same reason. Maybe someday you'll come across a well tuned XP and with the proper approach one of us might even let you take a crack at it on a hill. Maybe you'll have a new outlook. Ya never know. Happy sledding bro
***** And to think I responded the way I did to your last comment only to come back and find more derogatory comments edited at the end your response, particularly directed towards me........... What gives bro?

*Never claimed to be a better rider than you. Just said you're not used to the XP chassis. Even experts need to get used to it.
*I never attacked you personally just pointed out the ignorance in your posts that does in fact, reflect "you personally"
*My sled runs great. It's not an XP
*Thought this was a discussion about the XP not an argument. You sir, made this an argument. I added constructive criticism.
*You've never seen my sled run. I'm not the low mark on the mountain. May not be the highmark but it's not far from it.
*Time on your side? That has become apparent. Education....... well..... Agree to disagree.
The Ski-Doo has a few issues out of the crate-agreed!
Group Hug! Cumbiya, Cumbiya! or however it's spelled?
I was hoping to get some good info, I guess I read myself into/through some sort of pissing match. Next?

Whatever man, just understand when I come to the table with facts and problems with the sled you guys had the nerve enough to talk smack about how I ride? Making stupid meaningless comments about Napoleon Dynamite and other crap. I am glad to hear about prob's with my machine if anyone wants to spew it out, about how the turbo reflects my riding ability I guess? But I dont know maybe a civil argument wasn't the way to reflect the ability and performance of the XP. I could have just come off like a complete dank and said the Ski-Doo brand was crap all together, but I said my piece from research and experience like I would with any brand. Whether it be the 900 RMK fail, or the hinderance of fuel system trouble with the 700 arctic cat motor. As soon as I put out a complaint with BRP though, jesus christ, better watch out cause here comes the thunder of DOO boys ready to tell me I am ****ty, not the machine.
Well thats not the case gentlemen. I rode it once, like I've ridden many other Ski-Doo's before. But this one was a phase of bad craftsmanship and rushed technology placement. Maybe 2010 will bring bigger and better things for our beloved BRP but who knows they have made mistakes for the last 3 years, like all of you have said it shows in numbers, and great, good for Ski-Doo for being the top seller, that obviously means that consumers are expecting a top grade product to be sold. But it wasn't.

Looks like the sled is garbage
. Very nice shot, love the sled.The snow conditions are pretty crap everywhere when you get this many thread replies on a weekend in January.
Seriously they all have thier issues, buying a new snowmobile is picking the dog with the least fleas. I picked the ski doo because i like and understand carbs, i like light, nimble and TOO floaty, and the motor makes good power. I'll fix the rest. But serioiusly shut it about the TD8 you turbo one of these xp and you'll need some good clean under wear

I love the fact that you in your infinate wisdom lent your sled out, and then rented a sled....hahahahahahahahaha. RENTED a sled!!!! That in itself dis-qualifies any further opinions you have for at least a month. You also sound a little like Napoleon Dynamite with all of the "SKILLS" talk... Are you "pretty good with a bow-staff" also?? You could actually laugh for days with your posts!!! Please keep posting because you are making my eyes water they are so funny! Those RENTALS can be a pretty wicked sleds I tell ya'. RENTER
the correct term you are looking for is SPORE!!!!
stupid people on rental equipment
Of the 3 new XPs in our group we have no blown belts.
Perhaps you should have disconnected the sway bar, or adjusted the limiter strap.... These are things you could have done if you are familiar with the sled. You can customize the settings for your riding style. You also need to remember that you were on a rental.... I imagine if you rented the same sled you have you would notice a difference. The setup is an important step.
Also, there is a difference between riding styles between the Polaris and the Doos. It take some time coming off a trike and stepping up to the 2 wheeler.

He's a troll.
Plain and simple.
The sad part is how many people he hooked into his delirium.

Let me try to understand.....a guy is used to riding a Polaris with a turbo and feels out of control on a sled that lifts the skis a bit on a climb??? Having had both I am at a loss for words. That Polaris must not run very strong.

Yes, Yes you are and this is one of those threads you'll wish you hadn't wasted your time clicking on.
Started by a Troll with an alter.
He doesn't like the fact that the XP is so light and has such great flotation and power and flick-ability that it frightened him.
Next thread....Delete this one.
You forgot the part about all the ski doo owners gettin pizzy because someone critisized their sled and pointed out problems that it may have......... OH goodness not that!!!!!!!!!Yes, Yes you are and this is one of those threads you'll wish you hadn't wasted your time clicking on.

well I own an 08' 800 dragon has had two engines that is full block replacements in the last month. I got so pissed off because of the repeated failure. that I bought a 09' xp 154" and I love it. for my riding style the mountains of colorado the sled fits perfectly I have 223 miles on it and have not had to replace a belt yet. an according to a polaris mechanic the 08' 800 Dragons engines are timebombs just waiting to blow up. but I would try adjusting your shocks and straps they helped me a lot. every sled has its swet spot just have to find it.
