Yeah - and the electronic versions (though it's so much nicer to have a book) are generally cheap online (at least the Doo ones are).

The service manual for my sled is the most comprehensive manual of any vehicle I've ever owned. They even cover suspension dynamics. Pretty cool.

good point, I focused on the forums based on symptoms. however if you're not a gearhead get ready to shell out for repairs/maintenance. I'm happy my sled is running like a clock again.

Do the Gen4 risers fit on XM summit x's? Specifically this riser:

Looking to get a shorter riser and didn't think they'd be model specific, but apparently they are. If not, any recommendations on a short, cost effective, after-market riser for a 2016 Summit X?"...if you're not doing a double flip cork something, skiing spines in Haines, or doing double flip cork somethings off spines in Haines, you're pretty much just gaping."

They fit I believe. Plus they look cooler. The bar size hasn't changed except at the grips.

Looks like a (former?) maggot is doing snowmobile content now. I've always liked Jeff's review style: pretty concise, and no BS. Production value is high IMO, and I hope he keeps it up.

Anyone here towing riders with a Summit 850 turbo and using it for sled skiing? Seeing any overheating issues? Looking at snowchecking a sled and the salesman said that the turbo wasn't the best for towing because of overheating issues.

Towing sucks. The 3 inch paddle tosses so much snow I would hate to be stuck behind it.

Oh and we towed a sled out with the turbo 850. It got very hot. Nice to have the belt temp sensor

We have been sled skiing all winter with my 175 Summit 850 Turbo, and my buddies 165 Summit 850 Turbo. The sleds are SUPER happy with 2 or 3 people on them shuttling, like sort of want us to push them even harder. We all have our own sleds so no towing people, but I did tow a sled out a few weeks back with my sled. Once we got going it was fine, definitely had to adjust the belt after, and had to stop once to let the belt cool down, it got hot and you could feel it slipping.
I have had some over heating issues on groomed tracks. I learned to leave the scratchers down any time the track is firm. Also, if I kept the speed over 20 mph I didn’t have the over heating issue. If I did get the over heating alarm, I’d shut it off, toss some snow on the tunnel, give it 10 min and it would be fine. Going faster always has been better, kicked more snow up into the tunnel.

If you stop to cool down it will actually warm up befire cooling down due to the coolant sitting still.
Always have scratches down. Save some rail life.
When hot pull over to side of trail is there is unpacked snow tilt asked way over and use throttle to dig in at an angle and most the tunnel. Once you get the hang of it, it works well.

Hun, makes sense! Thanks! I’ll give it a shot next time.
Yeah, learned to always have the scratchers down, easy to do. I’ll try that trick next time. Sounds easy, I’ll give moistening the tunnel a shot.

It can work on hard pack too... Takes a while to get that balance though... And with a turbo it might turn into a missile !

I’ll give it a shot, but you are correct, the turbo is either a rocket ship or instantly digs a hole to China, so we will see what happens

Just remember to put the scratchers back up before trying to back up or load on the trailer. Maybe newer ones handle such oversights better, but one of mine certainly wasn't happy about trying to back up.
