    snowmobile dealers in/near Milw?

    I'll be working in Milwaukee next week. Are there any good snowmobile dealers near there that are open later than 5? Mainly just looking around - I live in Indianapolis and don't have any dealers near me. The only one I know of is Ken's Sports, which is probably 2 hrs north of there.

    Towing side by side enclosed vs in-line

    I see many places that towing an in-line, say an 7 ft wide trailer is significant easier on a vehicle than an 8.5 ft wide trailer, even if the 7 ft wide trailer is longer and taller. I have a hard time seeing that the aerodynamics would be that much different, particularly if the wider trailer...

    Oil usage - Polaris Fusion 600 carb

    My sled has always seemed to use a little more oil than the others in my group, so I never paid much attention to oil usage. But on the last trip this year, I calculated the oil usage on my Fusion 600 carb - it was about 38:1. I've heard these things should around 50:1. Anyone know how much I...

    Offseason clutch maintenance - Polaris Fusion 600

    My Fusion has about 7200 miles on it, about 1/2 on a completely rebuilt engine. I plan to ride it one more season, possibly 2 (figure an additional 2500-3000 miles). I haven't touched the clutches other than having them aligned (shims on secondary) a while back and then adjusting deflection as...

    Indy 600 questions - MPG's, oil usage

    Question for those who own an Indy 600: what are you getting for MPG's? If I remember reading last year's snowtech long-term test review, they were saying it was very close to what the E-tecs were getting, and with much less oil usage (although I assume it's smart to turn the oil pump up)...

    3 place trailer opinions & options

    Sold our 3 place open trailer. Still have a 2 place enclosed - may sell that or keep it, not sure yet, as sometimes we just go up with 2 sleds. Trying to figure out what the best option is for a 3 place enclosed. The first priority is finding something easy to pull. Not concerned about...

    Best bet for where to ride this weekend, from NW Wis to anywhere in UP

    I normally hate these kind of posts, but we're considering heading up this weekend to ride, and it's seems hard to figure out where to go. Normally we start a little North of Eagle River and head to the UP if conditions aren't good in Wisconsin. Leaving from south suburbs of Chicago Friday...

    121" sled in back of truck (8 ft bed) - tailgate up or down?

    We had a sled in the back of the truck along with 2 in the trailer so we put the tailgate up under the track of the sled. I'm not sure if that was the best way to do - is that hard on a sled to travel that way? Is it better to leave the tailgate down and strap it in?

    Is battery needed in Polaris with electric start?

    I have an 06 Fusion 600 with electric start. The battery was bad when I got it and eventually I just left it out - I don't mind just pulling the cord and I'd don't feel like buying a battery and then having to maintain it, etc.. I was told I could end up causing electrical issues by doing so...

    Where to find electrical connectors for Polaris

    I had a belt snap on my Fusion so hard it pushed out the belt guard and broke loose the connectors on the belt-guard mounted voltage regulator. The connectors were destroyed but we were able to get it back together and running with some electrical tape and time. Now that we are home, I'd like...

    Easier way to take-off/put-in exhaust springs???

    I changed out the track this weekend, and getting all the exhaust springs back on was probably the biggest PIA about the whole thing. Any easy tips for this? Tools that make it easy? Doesn't seem like it should be that hard of a job. This is a Polaris 600 Fusion - the 2 inside ones on the...

    When to change jackshaft/crankshaft bearings

    Going to change out a track in the next week or so on a Polaris Fusion with about 5,000 miles or so. Should I change the jackshaft/driveshaft bearings at the same time? Or just see if they feel rough when they are turned by hand. Anything else to change at the same time?

    Looking for new 2013 F800 Sno Pro, not RR.

    Guy I ride with is looking for a new 2013 F800 Sno Pro. I don't know much about these, but he's looking for the regular Sno Pro, not the RR version. Anyone know of any dealers that have one?

    GPS question - upgrading from Garmin 60csx

    I use a garmin 60csx - thinking about upgrading to one with a larger screen. The 60csx' still go for good money on ebay, and the discontinued waterproof 500's and 550's can be found cheap on ebay. Anyone upgraded to one of those? Is it an upgrade? I'm not sure if I'd lose any functionality...

    Will a Kitty Cat fit in a decent sized car trunk?

    I'm going to look at a Kitty Cat tonight. Will probably buy it. Just wondering if it will fit in a trunk (Altima). I'm guessing it won't, but if it will, it will save me some time having to go home from work and pick up our van before I go look at it. I can't picture how big they are.
