    Raider Helmet 3 Snap Flip Face Shield

    Hello, This is about the cheap helmets you can buy at Fleet Farm. I have 2 for the kids because they grow out of them so fast. I purchased the extra flip 3 snap face shield and one of them broke. I can't find them at the store or on-line. I called Raider but the lady didn't have a clue...

    Race Fuel

    With all the bad gas (Ethanol) who all runs race gas? I was talking to a guy this weekend and he even runs it in his chainsaws, mowers, etc. along with sleds and atv's. Any benefits to this or will it just burn them out?

    Looking for sled options

    I'm not trying to start a bashing war here, so lets not go there. I'm a die hard Polaris guy and am looking at sleds for the wife and kids - kids being 3 and riding along with mom and dad for some time. Sno-Coach is out as the kids already don't like being in one. They want to ride with mom...

    Better to get shock rebuilt or buy new

    2011 Polaris IQ LXT 2 up. Still has original factory shock. When I pulled it out of storage this year and sat on the sled it bottomed out. Should I just replace the whole shock or pull it and get it rebuilt? TIA

    New Debate - Belts

    I've used both OEM and Dayco. Never tried Carlise. For the price, I've never had a problem with the Dayco's. Although the OEM never let me down either. Thoughts?

    550 Indy LXT 144

    Currently riding a 2012 600 IQ LXT 2-up. Love the sled but looking to trade it in on 2 550 Indy LXT 2 ups due to a growing family. I like the 144 inch track and the "lower class" of 2 up seat and backrest isn't a concern for me. My question is if I will be disapointed going to a 550 fan with...

    Not trying to start a truck debate. I've got a 2012 F150 with the modular 5L in it. at 37,xxx the head gasket just went. Due to the 5 year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty it's covered with no questions from the dealer thank gosh. Here's my question. Is it a common problem - I haven't found...

    Toddlers on a boat

    Hello all, Just looking for some opinions. At what age did you take your kids on their first boat ride? I've got twin boys 15 months old and just pulled the boat out of storage and was thinking of taking them on their maiden voyage. Don't expect it to be to long - maybe a lap around the...

    Don't forget about the covers

    Just a thought as I was summerizing the sleds with a tear in my beer. I usually wash the cloth covers at the laundromat - did it at the house once and the wife tried to kill me. Air dry them, and spray on a little camp dry. I have also started using just the press on patches for the holes...

    Coleman UTV

    So I went window shopping at Cabelas last night. Found out they are now selling tractors and got rid of their Kawasaki ATV line-up. At least in Richfield. Anyways, they are selling Coleman ATV/UTVs. For the most part they looked pretty impressive. For the price of $8,399 you get a 700 EFI...

    Fuel Storage/Carrier

    I'm getting tired of 5 gallon cans and dumping fuel all over myself in the garage. What does everyone use to fill up their sleds at home. I live in an Ethanol area or I would jus top them off at the station. I was looking at a fule caddy but the reviews on them are less then stellar. Also...

    2011 Polaris IQ LXT 2-Up Carbides

    Finally wore down the stock 4" enough to replace them. It has always cornered poorly - especially with 2 people on it. Limiter straps and suspension are adjusted and the track is not studded. Should I go with a 6" or jump right to the 8"? Bergstrom's aren't an option due to time. Thanks a...

    Follow Up on Twins and a New Truck

    First off, I'm not a carpenter at all so please no laughling. I just put 2 2x4's on the bedliner with some supports underneath and a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood on top with carpeting. On the left I have a custom water hauler made out of large PVC pipe that is zip-tied in. On the bottom of the...

    2011 Polaris IQ LXT 600 Liquid - Fuel and Chanicase

    Two really simple questions I hope. How do I get to the jamb nut to adjust the chain tension on this sled? I can't get me fat hands in there to do it. Do I need to take off the exhaust? Also, I spent the $60 and bought a new fuel filter but can't find it on the sled to change it. Where is...
