    issues with cat 600

    Has Cat had any issues with its new 6? I haven't heard of many but maybe there aren't many yet with miles on them, plus there seem to be more 800's out there

    Questions about current Poo 600

    So, I'm keep looking at these Indy 600's. I have a couple questions about the current 600: 1. Oil usage - seems like they run lean. Can you turn up the oil pump on these? Should you? What's the right ratio if you want the engine to last? I understand they are set up for the EPA. 2. Fuel...

    Looks like no stretched Indy for 2016.....

    Was hoping for a Indy 600 136 or 144. Not sure why they won't make one other than it may take sales away from the axis.

    Selling a home - realtor vs FSBO

    Wife and I are thinking about selling our house. Bought it a couple years back and now have some extra recurring expenses with the kids, etc. that we didn't count on and are now wishing we would have bought something at a lower price point. Rates are back down again now so tossing around the...

    Yet another boot thread

    If you see any end of season deals on boots, post them here. My RU Outside boots started self-destructing on my last trip. They may be good for another trip or two but I'm keeping an eye out now.

    Indy vs IQ chassis

    How much difference is there between the Indy and the IQ chassis? I am probably a year away from upgrading but tempted by the deals I see on the Indy's. I think the rear suspension and the motor (600) are similar. Is the front suspension much different? I haven't even sat on an Indy yet - is...

    Too cold for jetting??? Polaris 600's

    We have two Polaris 600 HO's in our group, 1 06 Fusion and 1 07 IQ. Both are jetted with 410's with the SLP air horns. This is supposedly good down to -10 (420's are good to -20 and 400's are good down to 0, and I don't think the air horn kit makes much of a difference on jetting). We did...

    riding in NY?

    We are looking at different options for a weeklong trip centered over President's day weekend. One of the guys suggested NY, with all the snow they have been getting. Anyone have any info on riding there, where to go, where not to go? I haven't been able to find a site like this for out there :)...

    Ideas on how to carry gas on Fusion

    We're thinking about a trip to Ontario in a couple weeks, partly because of snow conditions everywhere else. Also this year's gas prices help. With gas stations being far between in many areas up there, I was thinking about how to carry gas on a Fusion. Anyone tried this? It doesn't have the...

    Ontario conditions - where to find info?

    We're planning to go on a trip in a few weeks. With snow conditions not looking good outside the UP, we're looking into other ideas in case it doesn't improve. Anyone know a reliable place to get info on trail conditions/riding in Ontario? I assume we'd cross the border by Sault St Marie and...

    Tire recommendation - minivan

    Need tires for the family van. 2012 odyssey. Any ideas? The OEM continentals are about worn out after 47k, which seems ridiculous but about the same as I've seen with other tires on new vehicles we've owned. We've had good luck with Michelin primacy mxv4's on sedans we've had, and that is...

    Best day of week to ride

    What are typically the busiest days on the trails - Fri, Sat and Sun? Because of work schedules, we usually end up heading up Wednesday night or Thursday morning and driving back Tuesday. Of those days, Monday always has the least amount of traffic by far...

    Snowmobile trailer prices - are they seasonal?

    We're looking into buying an enclosed trailer still this season - do the prices come down at all towards the end of the season like sleds do? I imagine they do for used trailers at least, as people don't want to store them.

    question about doo 600 carb

    Looking at sled prices today, the doo 600 carb seems like a great deal. How much Hp does it have? Anyone set it up with a holtzman ataac so jetting isn't something to deal with? How is gas and oil usage? It lists for a good discount to the efi 600 but I know that's different suspension, etc...

    replacing rubber seal/strip on front of clamshell trailer

    The rubber seal/strip on the front of our 2 place clamsheet is cracked and kind of old and brittle. Where can I find a replacement for this - trailer shop or hardware store? The strip typically gets caught underneath the shell when it opens and closes - I think if it was a little longer, it...

    RMK spindles on fusion

    I bought some used 2009 spindles for my 06 Fusion and finally got around to installing them this week when I discovered the base of the spindle is thinner than the stock spindles. Apparently I bought spindles off an RMK. I looked up the parts on a dealer website, and it looks like the RMK has...

    Helmet recommendations for 6 year old

    Looking to buy a helmet for my 6 year old,m perhaps for Christmas. He will probably only use it a few days each year so don't want to spend a ton but also want to protect his head obviously and be comfortable. Last year was his 1st year riding on a family friend's 120, and he'll probably ride...

    Polaris brake pulsating occasionally

    Late last season, the brakes on my Fusion pulsated occasionally, similar to what they do on a car with brakes that need to be redone. It didn't do it all the time, and the pads and reservoir levels both look fine. Any ideas? It seems strange to me that it only did it occasionally (say 20% of...

    motorfist superior glove - any good?

    Are these good gloves for trail riding? Looks like they have quite a bit of insulation. Looks like they are on clearance everywhere for $40. Motorfist glove sizing about right?
