Hello all, I’d like to start by saying I came from a 2017 ranger 1000 and then a general 1000 premium after that and had 0 issues with either machine even after much abuse. I wish I could say the same about my Northstar Xpedition. I have had it for 6 months or so now and am well post break in period and the issues are getting out of control. I feel like the belt still isn’t broke in it “coasts” to a stop by about throwing you through the front windshield multiple times especially at lower speeds. The grinding noise from the driveshaft is enough to make you cringe and question if you need to turn around and go home at ~5,000 RPM. The rear end clank on initial launch is enough to get everyone within 100 yards to stare at you. The “heat” is just lukewarm air and on top of that the “sealed” cab is far from just that. It takes multiple tries to keep it running upon turning over when it’s below 30 degrees. The brakes are very under powered and mine have been making a terrible squeal lately. It seems I have been blessed with every single common problem these machines have. Complete junk for $45,000
