My 08 M-1000 162 S/P came in at 597# all topped off. Down to 570# with a few mods. I used race car digital scales on three points, so this should be real close. There was a substantial weight loss from 07. And If 09 numbers are even close to their claim of an additional 20+ pounds removed, well that makes this a rather light 1000cc machine.
[/QUOTE]Anyhow..the M1000 is a better handling sled than the XP in the deep sno.
163 574lbs ready to ride. Bone Stock. NOTHING removed.
Also, I need to add that my 08 154X XP was 529lbs on the same scale. STOCK. 519 with a can. T/A did you get those weights with stock can or aftermarket?

523 was stock can-no tools or spare belt as stated--508 with slp pipe and can and foam under hood and side panels removed
Great...just noticed that I should have taken the tags off the handlebars before I weighed it.

Yeah, cause everyone really wants to live thru owning a 08 Skud again. LOL.
Doo should have spent a bit of time figuring out how to get some of their HP to the snow instead of making bendy tippy bandaids to TRY and compete in mountain segment, if they put the skis any friggen closer together they might as well go one big wide ski, and if they move th rider any far ther forward the gauges will be behind you. I'd be embarrassed if I had 15 more HP and maybe sometimes beating the Poo, in 14 kinda looks like the XM may end up bottom of the mountain performance pile.
Sort of a shame, such a great motor in such a crappy transmission system.
