just picked up a 94 xlt for a good price for a second machine. any history on the reliability . great shape and starts on the first pull.

My 93 XLT SP, exact same sled with different decals and shocks was going over 11 000 miles on the original engine when i sold it, and that poor sled never had one easy day of riding in its entire lifetime. I think you have a good back up sled there for yourself.

I had a crank bearing go at 8000 miles.

My buddy has 12000 and still going.

had a 94 sp with tripple pipes its whole life that ran like a bat outta hell for 6xxx miles, then sold it.
guy i rode with had a stock 93 XLT with over 10000 miles before the motor hatched. A piston skirt broke off and went through the case, but that poor sled went through all his teenagers beating the living hell out of ti

Had a 95 XLt special. Beat this thing to death and it never let me down. Still being run every year by the guy I sold it to. Has 9000 miles on it now and still runs great. I did nothing to this machine except jet it down a little. Extra 12 suspension was a weak point but still a great machine.
