Last year I bought an HX for me and I wanted a second ski that is "friendlier" to ride so my sons, friends, whoever can ride with me on this ski.
So, I bought a 2001 XP Limited last year. I sent tons of time and some $ on it. Then, consequently sold it because I did NOT enjoy working on it. I never figured out why it wouldn't go over 6000 RPM (although it ran great from 0-6000) and I hated the D.E.S.S. system (always had issues with it. I did tons of work on that ski and I am NOT looking to get another ski with a D.E.S.S. And...the 951 motor may be great but it was a PAIN in my ARSE to work on. I NEVER want to remove those carbs again!
So, I am looking at a 1996 XP as a scond ski. I can't definitely find out if it has the D.E.S.S. I think it does.
Will I need to look at 1995 and earlier skies to find one without D.E.S.S.?
