So I guess handwarmers and hot clutches aren't that bad....

Hmmm. 100 lbs more weight (260 HP) vs :

blowing belts at 160 bucks a pop
regearing
clutch machining
clutch re weighting
no handwarmers
poor secondary adjuster
broken drive shafts
inconsistent gauges
track rubbing = HP loss
relays blowing
fuel tanks recalls
fragile rails

Shall i go on ! Give me a fuggin break. But it is the best stock sled out there so i'm told !

Why is it noone compares a STOCK Yamaha to a stock anything else? It is always, Yea it is heavier but it has 260 horsepower. Yea it has 260 horsepower after you spent another 5 to 6 thousand dollars on it. Oh and Yamaha has had recalls this year also. And guess what their are Yamaha riders that aren't happy with their STOCK sleds.

Not mine ! And after i spend the 1000 bucks to fix that list i still have a 125 HP sled ! All you XP guys make me laugh, you bring new meaning to brand loyalty, right to the bitter end eh.

Hmmm. 100 lbs more weight (260 HP) vs :

blowing belts at 160 bucks a pop (Cost to us $0)
regearing ( Cost to us $0)
clutch machining (Don't need to)
clutch re weighting (Cost to us $0)
no handwarmers (Cost $0)
poor secondary adjuster (??? )
broken drive shafts (Cost $0)
inconsistent gauges (PIA, but fixable at a later date)
track rubbing = HP loss (fix it, cost $0)
relays blowing ( cost $0)
fuel tanks recalls (very few, cost $0)
fragile rails (Stifiner kit, cost $100)

Total cost $100

Cost for Nytro Boondocker turbo with guages, and install $8500
Lighten it up 100lbs Priceless

I'd put my stock XP up against any stock Nytro out there in climbing or deep powder boondocking, and would bet the title it would win with the same rider on both. You want to play the turbo card everytime somebody says anything about the XP. To get the Nytro at 260hp, and 550lbs wet, I'd guess you'd be into the sled close to $25,000-$30,000. Darko's sled is bad-azz, but if you add it up, you could get a fully loaded Duramax for the same price.
