"No breakdowns yet, but sick of the mid range bog on the 02's that we can't get rid of."
"99 s3 600 running lean most of the time rebuilded 3x"
"Faulty 1.75 Track - lamination problem"
"02 800,broken rod,(on original engine)siezed piston due to loss of lubrication(on Skidoo's synthetic),pitted rings,collapsed piston skirts,etc.(on replacement engine with less than 600 km)."
"Team Vincent rips off customers tooo"
"Bombardier File #914747"
"dealer here has 2 long track xps and engines are toast. I'm still on my 05 summit and won't get on a new xp after what Ive seen since 03. my o5 has needed new rings with only 400 miles"
