My first experience with the new machine was quite interesting… almost something I’d rather not admit, but it’s worth the laugh… So the shop built it yesterday after closing and called me when it was ready, by the time I got there it was dark out, and I just put it in the trailer. Got it home and of course the anxiousness of playing with the new toy couldn’t wait. I get it unloaded let it warm up and proceed to drive it around the yard, I took it out on the road and was going real easy on it and then I decided to accelerate a bit more, well it felt like it fell on it’s face and I wasn’t getting throttle response… let off the gas and it would respond again but then fall off…. reminded me of some limp mode. I went back to the house, took a quick look at the manual didn’t really see anything to remedy the problem. Now my dilemma was starting to really bum me out as I was super excited to have the new machine… I do a quick once over looking for possibility a plug was undone or some sort, well no luck. I loaded it back in the trailer so I could just drop it off in the AM. I decide i’ll just txt my buddy, (the shop owner) and let him know I’d give him a call in the morning due to the rzr feeling like it was in limp mode.
I get a txt back, "lol put your seat belt on dummy" … … … long story short you get what happened now.. so of course the seat belt interlock got me! My old rzr never had the interlock so I didn’t even think about it since I was only going for a quick ride around the yard…
Anyhow beyond that hiccup, I finally got out and gave it a quick bit of acceleration and wow…. I am simply jaw dropped at the power this thing has. It makes my old machine feel like it was a golf cart… Can’t wait to get out this weekend and really do some riding! Now I have a real reason to browse the XPT forums! :ride:
