    Use Realtor or For Sale By Owner???

    Looking at moving. Can list house on MLS for about $400 and probably have to pay buyer-side realtor either way. Is using a realtor worth the extra money?

    Keeping track of group trip expenses

    How do your groups keep track of trip expenses? We generally take turns paying for stuff and then try to add it all up later...which is always sort of a headache. I've thought about using a kitty, where everyone throws in some cash, but it's usually just easier to use a credit card at the...

    How long do mtn sled hold up?

    10,000 miles or 5 years is a pretty good life for a 2 stroke trail sled, assuming you ride 2000 miles/year, take reasonably good care of it, etc. I know they can go longer, but assuming that's a good life for a trail sled without dumping any money into it, how long will a mountain sled last...

    Polaris Fusion 600 - greasing jackshaft bearing

    I put the sled down for the offseason last weekend, and I greased the driveshaft bearing down below the secondary. I noticed the service manual also said to grease the jackshaft bearing. Where is this? I assume it's on the other side of the driveshaft.

    Klim Valdez vs. Tomahawk jacket

    What's the difference (besides the price obviously)? The Valdez is way out of my range, but I'm wondering what makes it so much more expensive.

    06 Fusion 600 -explanation for blown engine...does this make sense?

    My sled locked up a few weeks back, and I had it repaired by a Polaris mechanic that my father-in-law knows well. The engine needed pretty much a total rebuild. Below is the explanation I got from the mechanic. I'm not the most mechanical guy, so I wanted to put this out there to see if it...

    How to fog engine - Polaris 600

    Do you have to pull the airbox off to fog a Fusion 600? I haven't pulled that off before, but I've heard it's kind of a pain to take on and off. I haven't fogged an engine before either, but it doesn't seem too difficult. Thanks.

    What's a 06 Fusion 600 worth? 3000 miles

    My 06 Fusion 600 has about 3000 miles. Rod bearing just failed. It's in good condition other than that. lol. It's going to cost about $1800 to have a professional rebuilt the engine. I could save a decent amount by only replacing one cylinder, or rebuilding myself with my Dad's help. Just...

    Rod bearing failure 2006 Polaris Fusion 600

    My engine broke down a week ago. Dropped it off at a northwoods mechanic that I have reason to trust. He took the engine apart and determined the rod bearing failed. Needs significant rebuild including crank repair. Asked me if I fogged the engine. I bought it last winter and did not...

    Suspension on Vector vs. IQ

    Anyone ridden both of these sleds and can compare the handling, suspension, etc. I love the IQ suspension, and I'm thinking about a 4 stroke, and I'm not crazy about the idea of the turbo engine they put in the IQs. Seems like the new Vector would be a good choice, but I'm wondering how it...

    Garmin 60 csx and lithium batteries

    I managed to get my garmin 60 csx mounted to my Fusion before the last trip but didn't get around to wiring it. With my voltage regulator now on the fritz I'm going to wait until I know for sure that's all fixed before I add anything else to the mix. Has anyone used lithium batteries in their...

    2006 Polaris Fusion 600 electric problems - where to start!!

    My 06 Polaris Fusion 600 started having electrical problems last weekend. It started out that the light would start dimming or flickering when accelerating. Then the light was just dim all the time. Then the gauge started working on and off. Then the light and gauge worked when I turned the...

    Where to look for a used boat trailer?

    My Dad bought a used 14' Lund and we need to find a trailer for it. We'll probably end up buying a new one in the Spring but I thought it would be make sense to look for a used one in the meantime. My guess is that decent, used boat trailers are going to be few and far between, and that they...

    Experience with xtreme motorsports - Hammond, IN - good? bad?

    I am going to have someone check the clutch alignment on my 06 Fusion 600. I bought it with 200 miles last year and it went through a couple belts so I have a feeling that the clutches aren't aligned. The closest Polaris dealer to where my sled is stored is xtreme motorsports in Hammond, IN...

    Clutch alignment on Polaris WITH electric start

    Ok, I posted about this in the misc section but over here is probably better. Because of some belt issues, I'd like to check the alignment of my clutches. However, I can't seem to find a tool that will do this because I have electric start: 06 Fusion 600 with electric start. Anyone have...
