    What's on 05 Doo mxz 600 ho worth? 3600 miles

    Have an acquaintance selling one and might be a good deal. I've never considered a Doo before, but if the price is right... Sled is studded. Not sure if that impacts the price.

    trailer maintenance for new trailer

    Guys I ride with bought a new, leftover 23' Legend inline trailer last Fall. It wasn't cheap but the price wasn't bad since it was a year old model. I'm going in on it too over time but they had money now and I didn't... Anyway, I wanted to get some input on what maintenance needs to be done to...

    American Council of Snowmobile Associations

    http://www.snowmobilers.org/ Anyone familiar with this group? I saw the link on a MSA newsletter, which is the first I heard of it. I support this Blue Ribbon Coalition, which also lobbies for recreational access, but this is focused just on snowmobiling.

    Tools you carry on your sled??

    As the title says, what tools do you carry on your sled? I usually scurry around the garage the night before a trip throwing together some basics that I think I might need, and occurred to me it might be smarter to put together a list and keep those tools together. Most of our trips involve...

    Pouring mineral oil in cylinders for summer storage

    I've seen some guys on here or somewhere else say they pour some mineral oil in the cylinders after fogging their sleds and then pull the cord slowly a couple times to get it through the engine based on the premise that the synthetic oil they run doesn't coat the internals as well for the off...

    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.
