When you say sue happy, ski-doh comes to mind
How much is that costing Cat customers in the long run. They will be paying lawyers and court costs for years!
Why would anyone insure an XP?

Being your already paying for a ski doo why don't you just buy one?!

I have a 2010 XP and hit a rock with 80 miles on it. Both left side arms and an s-module. I don't have collision insurance so the thousand dollar tab was a bummer but I since installed grip-n-rip s-module and e-module braces.
Last winter I was shooting a line through a stand of trees, clipped the trunk of a snow-gnomed tree at 45mph and hit the ground 30 feet uphill from where the sled stopped. No damage. 10 days ago I hit a buried stump so hard I did a complete cartwheel in the air before landing on my head out in front of the sled. No damage. I easily have 20 similar stories over the past 3 winters. Nobody can believe that my sled can survive slamming into stuff the way I manage to but it does.
My point is this: this is just another trolling thread about a problem that was solved years ago. With the experience that I've had I can't well justify spending money insuring against a problem that I've modified away with a handful of simple bolt-on parts.

That's good to know. I'll pass on the info to my buddy.
Believe it on not , I wasn't trying to stir the pot. Like I said I like the ride of the XP. I have reasons I have to buy Cat. That doesn't mean that I want to act like my sled is better that yours. It just was a sad day for a good friend of mine and a repeat of what happened to another good friends sled two years ago.

Why?
How about when you are just coming around a corner or maybe your doing that killer sidehill and it breaks loose an avy or the sled gets out of control when you loose it on the climb that in your mind everyone can do! thats why I carry it! Dont give a !@#$ about the sled, but I do care about the peep's that can get hurt from what we all say @#$% happens! If you dont have dont ride with me!!!!

Wow !! Ummm, no insult intended, but you might want to try driving around chit instead of through it. Just a thought.

Reasons like you can't use a track stand on a 162, and not having your buddies ever help you get unstuck cause there isn't anywhere for said buddy to lift on the bumper with that crazy awesome sno flap.....or flop.......... I forget cats come with an anti-stuck feature from the factory. pure awesomeness.
Seriously......wtf???? Not to hate, but were they trying to see how jacked up they could make it? Why would anyone do something so stupid???? Block off the rear bumper and make the extension to short..... Brilliant. A four stroke that weighs more than a yammi? How did they pull that off? Yamaha uses all steel?
Did yours come with the steering part right side up or upside down......? Just a minor issue....no biggie right? They're only putting crap on backwards from the factory.
Some day cat will build the sled To have......... Someday high time, It's just not today. I wished they would get their game together. Its not even fun anymore. I can only do tow rope jokes and blown belt jokes with lunched spiders and secondary's and broken who knows what about 100 times before it just gets old. My 1000 buddies don't even enjoy riding with me anymore. How can a sled with 200 less cc's just stomp a hole and the living daylights out of the bigger sled by 15 leg the on the hill?
I'm going tom have to start rolling camera on my cat adventures. My rant is worthless without pics.

CBX, this is starting to get amusing. I pulled so many Doo's out with my old 900 RMK, I upgraded to a Cat bumper on my Pro just so I could continue to be a helpful guy. LOL !!

This your sled's better than mine, gets old.
So am I. It seems that all posts go south in short order. Many comments mis the point too. For two reasons, one the author can't get his point accross or the new poster doesn't realy read them. So all of us are defective.

Are you drunk??
LOL
OMFG, I just died.
The PRO peeps are just as sensitive. But they only whine when told to by the Alpha Sheep.
Cuz they are so heavy and gutless you can't get them anywhere to wreck em.
How old were these XPs? I can total an 08 Xp just by breaking the a-arms and nothing else. And I have seen first hand Cats and Pros breaking just passing by a stump. The only time I ever damaged a sled was in early 09 and I hit a rock just beneith the snow. That hit woulda destroyed any sled. Don't deny it, you came here to start chit. BTW, how many belts have you put on that super awesome Proclimb? Face it, you are afraid to ride it cause they are so damn heavy and ugly your friends totaled their sleds just so they don't have to ride with you.
You are funny
Get ready for yellow Arctic Cats.
Cat riders are yellow. Obviously
OK, Now we all know that a lie. Was this the same 900 that snapped cranks, motor mounts and clutches how often? Only thing a 900 RMK is good for is packing down the trail so the ProClimb can follow. Oh, and holding down snow so it doesn't blow away.
D
Very clever. Unless you've found a way to use those pulp mill fumes to obtain x-ray vision you wouldn't understand. The snow hides a lot, like that tree I mentioned-who'da thunk there were no branches on that side of it when there were branches on all the others? That's why you need chassis braces.

Wanna hear a joke??..........................900 Rmk
only modern sled in history worth zero. They couldn't even sell at auctions. I know two different guys in idaho with a dealers license that had to haul them home after the auction.
Thats how sweet they were. 900 RMK= Biggest fail, maybe ever.
