    New Track Options

    I think i'm going to go with a new track, i figure it's like a set of tires, when they go bad you need to replace them. money makes sense to me. i got a 99 xc 700. i'm changing the gear ratio from 1.67 to 1.71. so it'll take off a lil faster. i ride 80% on trail and 20% offtrail. I'm looking for...

    Gearing down

    thinking about popping a 1 tooth smaller gear on my 700 this summer, i dont' need a new chain for that right? is gearing down harder on the clutch and/or chain? any pro's or con's to this? is it worth it? i was lookin at prices and it's around $30, the top gear/smaller one is the one i should...

    will a secondary clutch from a 99 indy 500 work on a 99 xc sp 700?

    i'm going thru the whole suspension and taking out studs to see if it gets rid of the vibration from this 700. dealer said secondary is misaligned. the clutch from the 500 has a lot of miles on it but it never vibrated and i figured if it would fit/work i'd give it a try

    WTB ads on topics such as misc. or tech talk

    Indy has a problem with his Indy

    FInally got my 99 indy 500 back together-again. i got the new driveshaft bearing on and before i tore it apart to put the bearing on, i had some bogging issues. with around 6500 miles i put on new spark plug boots. then at around 8000, it was running boggy and on 1. so i looked and the boots...

    Made my own handlebar riser

    I've been wanting a 2 in. riser for my 700. so, i thought of a great idea. from the 3 in. riser i bought for my 500 and the handlebars i bought but haven't used yet, i had a total of 3 handlebar clamps and i stacked the clamps together and made a 2 in. riser out of it. i have to go to fleet farm...

    where do i go to get cheaper bearings than a dealer?

    i remember reading this once but i think it's straight to the manufacturer? what brands should i look up? nsk or ntn? i need jackshaft and driveshaft bearings if that helps

    The Indy is up n Runnin again!

    i don't know if y'all know this but the front left mounting pad bracket on the inside of the tunnel on my indy 500 was shot. and the bolt sheared which made the hole bigger. So finally, i can ride again, o wait, the trails closed :(

    Anybody put those fancy rivets in the tunnel before?-any tricks?

    i'm going to be replacing the front mounting plates in the front part of the rear suspension since the holes got bigger when the bolt sheared. so i got a air hammer with the punch style chisel and hoping it will work...any tricks for holding those fancy rivets in on the other side?

    99 xc sp 700-lots of vibration in the footwells

    a dealer told us the clutch wasn't aligned right and it could be hurting the motor. we didn't get it fixed because the clutches looked fine and everything. but when you go over 60 mph, it vibrates a ton, it feels like it's coming from the chaincase, possibly it's too tight? or a bearing is bad...

    The all famous polaris whine when you let off the gas (the brake)

    I know this has been brought up many times about the whine that a lot of polaris' have when you let off the gas but i forget what caused this exactly and what you can do to not have it as much. my dad's 700 doesn't do it at all and my 700 does it the millisecond you let off the gas, i don't mind...

    When i start up my sled when it's cold, it runs on one

    when my sled has been sitting for at least a day and it's cold, it runs on one cylinder. i shut it down and start it again then it runs on both cylinders. it's done it 3 times. i never turned the gas on and ran it out 3 weeks ago and i don't know if that's affecting this. but i assume it's a...
