Newbee from the General XP

[WillieB]

First day on the Xpedition forum. Just purchased 26 XP Northstar, coming from a 21 General XP2 Custom Factory Addition with a little over 10K miles.
Hope to get the same enjoyment plus from the Xpedition.

Welcome WillieB, you will enjoy the NorthStar I am sure!

Welcome, I used to have a General prior to the XP5, totally different. Let the good times roll !

Howdy and welcome to the forum
I had also traded in a General when I got my Xpedition back when they first came out and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. The Xpedition has its issues, just like any SxS will, but it’s been such a massive upgrade over the General.
Cheers to all the adventures to come!

Welcome. I came from a '17 2 seater General, now a XP5. Upgraded for the hvac. My main complaints with the Xpedition are:
1. Very tippy, so I added the SATV long travel kit
2. Steering racks don't hold up. Mine was replaced after 6 months. SATV is working on a replacement but they tell me they are having patent issues so it might be awhile.
3. HVAC didn't cool well enough (in Texas until I spent lots of money and time on insulation for the cab)

Thanks for the input. Granted it may not get as hot up here in the corn patch (Iowa), but any A/C is better than none. Most of the miles I'll put on this machine will be local road and easy trail riding. The group I ride with get's together and takes a trip somewhere out of state to ride and that would be the only time I might get to experience it being tippy, maybe.
