Maybe we should start a thread for guys that have not had any of the production problems other have had. Mine no bolts coming loose, no extra bolts ,no hose clamps loose,no flaten rollers, Just no problems at all

when will you start riding it or are you too afraid?:)
 
398 miles on my LTX LE and have no problems at all. My dealer called me to let me know about the loose bolts on the turbo, checked them when I adjusted chain tension and they are still tight. That sled on hard packed trail gets up to speed very quickly, smokes my Apex until I get in loose snow and then the Apex holds its own on top end. I have gone through checking all nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight and they are, well not all but the ones I could get to. I will admit that although the windshield that comes on that sled is pretty sharp looking, it is very cold riding when the temps are in the teens! And just in case it matters, 95% of my sledding is on groomed rails to trails so this sled is perfect for me! Bottom line is that I am very happy with this sled the fit, finish and the motor.
 
183 miles so far the only issue is the cracked heat shield. No big deal I'll replace it when it comes in. I'm used to 290 apex and I'm actually pretty happy with it in stock form( so far) likely tune after it has had some miles and all the dust settles with all the various performance suppliers. Rides so much better than the apex. And I spent thousands trying to make it better.
 
With respect to issues - other than a small crack in the heat shield, I am very, very happy with my SW.

I have been running everything that I've come across (800 and 850 Doos, '17 TCat, Apex MCX - heck I've even run an older 800 Mach Z). They all come looking and experience the same fate (I might invest in some mirrors).

The sled is a beast and it's been very good to me.

to own one. Better than my Apex....reliability yet to be said. Love this site for the shout outs and the tips. Definitely changing my skis.. This site helped me a lot.
