XP or Rev

[Teth-Air]

this is for XP owners - now that you have ridden the XP - do you wish you still had your old rev? I would sooner have bought an 06 Rev than this XP

One of the guys I ride with went back to an 04 with mods and now I think he regrets it. Why don't you like your xp? I expect heavy handling feel or clutching? I overcame these issues and you can too.

Teth, you are correct, the heavy handling is not impressing me. Clutching seems to be fine, we haven't had any heavy snow dumps to really load it down since the updates were completed. I do have the sway bar removal quick release, and now I am looking at getting the toe hold kit like the REV had! The seat edges grabbing the boots really bugs me as well!

I have noticed that if you have your riser and bar too far forward it doesn't handle as well. Try moving your bar / riser back about 15-20 degrees (0 degrees being straight up). That and removing the sway bar really made it start carving more like my old rev did, with the added perks of the xp. As far as catching boots on the seat, I don't have the same problems, so no recommendations there. Stick with it and try to make some adjustments before casting it out. I think you will find you will love it. Every new chassis takes some tuning to your riding and some time to learn to ride it. It would be no different if you went to cat or poo.
