    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?

    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...
