Sorry, gotta vent.....

I own a 08 and love it new carbides and skis improved my handling, there is nothing wrong with the front end, I have hit a few beaver dams rocks and ice chunks on the lake and river, no bent subframe here. I have been on an 800 xp that chassis was a piece of crap, fit and finish was crap, light weight but week, floor boards flexed real bad, I am sick of all the winers on here too, you don't like your sled sell it. The new front end is for people with weak upper bodies lol

I agree! the 08 was more of a race inspired design, that was meant to ride hard. The harder you ride her the better she performs. The 09's were changed to tame the front end for people who expected more of a trail sled. Something you could putts around on if you want. By doing this they have given the 08's a bad rap, and a terrible resale on top of it. You have to ride something for a while before you write. You may find out it is a great sled, but just not the right one for your riding style.

Jds did you go to the local or to DG for dealer service? i went local and checked what was leftover and for prices for next year and they were kind of jerks to me, so i guess if we buy we will drive past that one to get to DG.

I got banned from DooTalk because I owned a couple Yamahas and defended them when a bunch of narrow minded DooHeads attacked me for pointing out some Doo flaws. Sound familiar Yamanator? They wanted to boot you a few times too because of your Yamaha biased. The difference is I own both Yamahas and Doos and can speak from my own personal experience. I don't have to say I know a guy or my friends sled did this or I read that. I don't talk about sleds I don't own or ride and speculate. I guess if I get banned for my opinion about 4 sleds I own then so be it. I'm not the one name calling or personally attacking anybody here. Like I said from now on I will keep it positive.
You should also remember the reason I got banned was because of my responses to one of out mutual friends.

I bought from DG and thats where I went for service. I couldn't deal with our local guy. He wouldn't match price and told me the price I got must have been a mistake. DG JR is a great guy to deal with. He is great to talk to and very knowledgable. DG will do whatever it takes to make thier customers happy. They discount all thier parts and clothing anywhere from 20-25 %. Our local guy sells everything MSRP plus tax. DG has a blue XTX for 7700 bucks!! I can't believe what a great deal that is. JDS JR is looking to transfer up here from Arizona and if I thought he would be here by next season I'd buy it. I think if your going to get a sled now is the time to buy. DG also has a few reg 09 Nytros for 7400bucks.

Correct me if I'm wrong isn't dootalk owned by skidoo???

 

[arteeex]

Correct you if you're wrong? That's an unnecessary qualifier. You'll be corrected if you're right too.

Dogma is a powerful thing.

I may have to call them and see what's left. i would love to get a new one but like i told you i really need 2, whoever the 2 are left at home would not be happy...especially if it's me. the only thing holding us back is we need a new roof and we have to replace our chimney/woodstove, so there goes the tax return. i told my wife if get a home equity loan that the value of our property would go up with 2 new sleds in the garage....unless of course the wiring went bad. sorry couldn't resist, i'm trying to be less negative these days, i think that sucks that it happened to you guys. i keep thinking about a couple phazers i just can't fully convince myself i'd be happy on it for more than a few rides, maybe a season. after riding the nytro it really is what i want...or dare i say...a 1200.

This weekend I'll get ample seat time on a Yamaha and a Ski Doo. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity. One thing the two machines will have in common? A smiling rider. That's what it's all about. No venting necessary.

I heard only good things about the 1200 doo?

I'm up to 4600 km's on the XTX Nytro. I'm not so sure I love the Simmons ski's. The make the steering very heavy on warmer days. Stock ski's are almost better if you have a sore shoulder...LoL
Buddy who has over 3000 miles on a Nytro with no slider wear must put his miles on with the track spinning in mid air. HeHe Even in deep snow they wear down fast. Driving normally. That means like most of us ride...
I'm ready for my third set of slides. The second set is worn past the wear mark but I might have another 250 miles left...

I keep reading about guys burning sliders with thier Apex's and Nytros and I wonder what do you guys ride on? I put 4500 miles on my Apex before changing them and they still were only half worn. I now have 3500 miles on the wifes Nytro and they still have half left. What am I doing wrong? Or should I say right!

 

[arteeex]

Time out! Sliders? Really?

You will be assessed a 10-yard penalty for meandering from the topic of this thread, which has been self-righteous ridicule and imagined indignation.

Please take a seat while the rest of us play on.

No



SkiDoo does support the site but they don't own it. For the first couple years Doo had nothing at all to do with it. But with 50,000 plus members its a great marketing tool.
