hi all been away from this forum for a few years and need some input
I had a 2009 800r xt since new with no problems till 2012 when I tried one with power steering and had to have it … so I traded my 09 in and got a 2012 800xt it was great for one month and then nothing but problems (I think I had lemon) first clutch then bushings then power steering problems that they couldn’t fix and told me I had to wait for brp to come out with update to fix .
it spent the 4 out of 6 months I had it in shop , dealer would do nothing for me and as this was second machine I bought from them there was some disappointment .
I have been riding a grizzly 700 for the past few years and it has been reliable but the power is just not there no matter how many mods I do lol
now I would like to get new machine and I am looking at 650 xt or 850
the tight twisty trails we have here there is no need for a 1000 but do need the grunt of v twin
