HA! I was thinking the same thing. But I refrained from posting because I didn't take any pics when I moved mine...

Sled:08x XP Summit 163

Exactly as I did. Not a thread from 166 orange on over 400 deep pow mi. Asked dealer mech. about alignment & recieved answer - Can't change alignment on this sled. Don't have any XYZ measurements as you can't change it any way. Loosening just the front mounts, I was able to change it alot, even enough to take out all the dogleg & a little more for engine torque. Also helped w/C to C gaining some deflection adjustment.

QUOTE (teeroy @ Jan 15 2008, 03:07 AM)  there's gotta be 10 threads on this engine relocation thing, doesn't anybody have a fricken camera? in, out, forward, back.....if you're gonna try something, take a pic and explain what you did rather than count on us retards to try to picture it in our minds. if we understand what you did, then we can tell you if you're full of chit or not.
no disrespect intended Frog...
sorry, rant over.... No problem, but I do not carry a camera with me every place I go. When I did this it was kind of a unplanned thing. I agree with pics but I do not have any. Sorry. -Frog

QUOTE (winter brew @ Jan 15 2008, 06:26 AM)  Alignment should be fixed by the dealer under warranty, should it not?? If it doesn't meet mfr specs??? QUOTE (NewfieRider440 @ Jan 15 2008, 06:44 AM)  I was thinking the same thing winter brew. Yes it should, I just wanted it done so I did it!! Dealer mechanic told me there is nothing wrong with my alignment!! So I didn’t even waist my time taking it to them!!

QUOTE (winter brew @ Jan 15 2008, 04:26 AM)  Alignment should be fixed by the dealer under warranty, should it not?? If it doesn't meet mfr specs??? Yes, it SHOULD. But I don't expect dealers to make any adjustments, since the official word is that there isn't any alignment adjustment possible on these sleds. When I took my sled in after my first belt blew, I was told that my alignment checked out OK, even though there was an obvious dogleg in the belt between the clutches. After a few new belts and no update from BRP, I decided that I needed to look at adjusting it myself...

That's promising, but your first belt lasted 600 miles, right? Notice any difference in wear at this point?
