Looks like I can pick up an OEM skid plate off ebay for my Fusion for next to nothing (like $40). Just wondering how effective they are. Will they really save the belly pan/bulkhead or are they more just for looks? I personally haven't hit anything but the more I ride off trails I'm sure it's...

I have electric start on my Fusion 600. The battery went bad a couple seasons ago and it's not worth it to me to replace it (I know a battery is cheap, but so am I and I don't mind pulling the cord). I'd rather not deal with maintaining the battery plus the battery gets in the way if you have...

I have 5 days set aside around President's Day for my one and only trip this year. We were planning to do the usual UP backpack trip. Now I am concerned there won't be any decent snow, and if there is, the only place there will be will be in the Western UP, and everyone in the midwest will be...

Are they equivalent or is one better than the other for a sled. I have an 06 Fusion 600 carb. Was going to pick some up and thought I'd see if there is any difference. I can't find my owners' manual supplement, but I think Polaris calls for Champions. I've always assumed that because...

What are the best Klim gloves for trail riding? I have a pair of Klimates, but I'm looking at the others also. Can't tell if the summit, fusion or togwotee would work the best for trail riding. Obviously the glove needs of the trail rider are different from off-trail riding, with the higher...

I took most of the rear suspension apart today. One last thing that I am stuck on - how to get the spline out that holds on the torsion springs. Any advise? I took the bolts off. Do you need to hit a chisel into it to get it loose? Thanks.

My sled is in storage 150 miles from me. I had earlier pulled the skid out and am going to get the rear shocks rebuilt but after talking to the rebuilder I now decided to do the fronts as well. I talked my Dad into going over there and pulling them off for me (stored right by his house). Can...

I have a bolt that is stuck - the bottom bolt on the front track spring. I've taken Polaris' suspensions apart before and I don't remember any issues. The nut is off and the bolt turns, just won't come out. Any ideas? I am hesitant to just start whacking it with force.

I pulled the skid out of my Fusion this weekend (I won't be riding until President's Day weekend) so that I could get the shocks rebuilt. There is lots of rust on the metal parts. What is the best way to touch this up? I suppose I could use POR or get it powercoated, but I'm thinking more...

I'm finally joining the smartphone world...not sure if I should go with an iphone or android. Looking to buy one or the other this week. Looking at either the iphone 4s, the galaxy or the photon. I get a good discount with Sprint, so I'm staying with them. I don't think 4G is a factor right...

I am sort of looking for a inexpensive small or midsized SUV with a manual transmission. I had a Jeep in college, and I miss it. Just bought the family a new van, so trying to keep my vehicle costs down. Looking for something in the $5000 - 7000 range, preferably with around 100,000 or fewer...

Any ideas? Trying to put a list together.

Bought a discontinued Polaris e-vent shell jacket at the end of the season last year and am now looking for the insulation layer. Purpose will be for trail riding and/or colder days (I can wear something lighter for off trail or warmer days). Was leaning towards the klim everest but I also...

Everytime I use my grease gun I swear 1/2 the grease has come out and gets everywhere. What am I doing wrong? Am I not releasing the pressure? Does the grease come out when the temperature changes? Doesn't seem like it should do that but who knows. I only use it to grease my sled once or...

What kind of mileage do these things get? How much turbo lag? Did they make a switchback with an FST? If so, with a decent track, how would that do off trail compared to say a comparable 600? Or is it just way too heavy for off trail use? Just curious about this engine....

This may have been asked before (I may have even asked it), but the board is slow right now, so here it is: the track on my Fusion 600 was showing some wear this past season. The sled is in storage, but I need to take a good look at it and see if I think it's got some life left. If not, I'm...

Here's something for the off-season...what personal financial/budgeting software do you use, if any? I'm an accountant, and I just use Excel, but I'm looking for something to streamline the task...

I have a Garmin 60 csx that I may be lending to my Dad to use for a fishing trip in Canada. Main purpose will be to mark spots, help with not getting lost, etc. Will the preinstalled base map be good enough for this? Also, does the base map always stay installed on the unit? I have installed...

Used to be lots of TEAM threads, like Team Kessler, etc. I don't remember seeing much of that this past season. I used to enjoy some of the stories and pictures.

I found a closeout sale on the klim inferno pant. I've heard klim outerwear is typically small (i.e., buy one size larger than you normally would). Is this the case with their base/midlayer also? Thanks.
