I bought the 850XP in July 09. Originally, I was impressed with the entire package. Excellent power to ground ratio, comfortable to ride, lighting is awesome just an all around excellent bike. Recently though I started to experience a chugging motion, a low speeds. It turns out that some inner lining of the clutch cover let go and dug a groove in the clutch destroying the belt. I took it back too the dealer and was told I had to wait approximately three and a half weeks for parts. When I purchased the bike, I was talked out of the extended warranty. Now they want to sit on this problem while my six-month warranty time ticks away. They ended up just replacing the belt and giving the machine back to me and told me to ride it as is while they wait on the parts to fix it correctly. Because I will be using it to plow this winter I need to seriously consider spending more money to extend the warranty just incase. Other than that, I really am enjoying the bike.
