Which one? I'm riding the 08 rtx and my buddy has the 09 xtx. I have done a few things to mine to upgrade the front suspension to make more like the 09 geometry. The fun factor of the machine is great. This machine has so much totque,you won't believ how hard it pulls. The only thing I don't like about it is the ice build up under of the tunnel from the exhaust after a log day of riding. Usually it will break up with a few mogules or jumps but there are companies coming out with partial block off plates for the tunnel that are supose to almost eliminate the build up.I have rode many different sleds and after I got used to the rider position and the steering angle it became my most favorite sled of all.So far I have 3300 miles on it. As for my buddies xtx he says he loves it.

Snownutz, are the partial block off plates just for the Yamaha tunnels? The 07 Switchback has a major ice build up under the tunnel also. Thanks for any info you might have on this.

This plate is for the yamaha.It blocks most of the rear of the tunnel by the muffler. Guys are removing there tunnel protectors when there not running studs and there also using a silicone spray to help reduce build up.Just a couple things you can try.
