jlewis, from what sportsmanEE said they may have it cured so that would be cool, For the bomb I know they were having some problems with the quad leaning out to much and getting the pipes really hot has somthing to do with the speedo and the air fuel ratio of the injection, I have not had any problems with my carbs on any one of my cats in cold weather here in the midwest I am not to concerned about jetting. My V-2 650 with the kawi engine is warm blooded that one will give me some trouble at times starting. 650 H-1 and v-2 I would say the v-2 accelerates faster but not by much take in mind I have tranny mods and cdi mods if I take them off it will be the same I would say, many people say the h-1 is like the 500 in acceleration I would disagree fully. But the torq on the h-1 in High is like the 500 in low. The kawi is nice but the h-1 is much more user friendly no belts to ajust and it starts with ease I dont have to drive in low all the time.

hmm spoke to soon I guess not everything is cured, Doug

 

Hi Fellas, I am glad to hear that Polaris has changed the fan system. I am looking forward to riding with few worries. I suppose these forums have so much information that eventually all who read them, worry. My dealer has mechanics with grey hair. I like to think they have more years under the hood. I drove a Raptor for a couple of years and never had a mechanical problem. My last two Arctic Cat snowmobiles were also trouble free. I think that all the manufacturers make quality products. I hope problems are few. When I do pickup the X2 I plan to start it and have it idle for twenty minutes or so. If all is well, then I plan to take it home. Happy New Year fellow riders. jlewis
