    1996 Polaris RXL.

    The reason the efi disappeared on sleds from Polaris is it sounded like they borrowed the technology. There was a lawsuit filed and soon after no more efi sleds. It's too bad because it worked well and overall reliable. Mike looks like you actually found a pretty clean sled for that age. Very nice.

    I Didn't See that Coming!

    Your story reminds me of a snowmobile trip with my wife for our honeymoon. Went to a hotel off 28 in Marquette. Running a little behind on the way there so the wife calls and lets them know. The lady says your not here by 9 you will need to find a hotel. We argue back and forth a little. She...

    Summer Boredom........Gas Cans

    Yeah those eagle cans are nice. My grandparents had them and I would fill them up to gas up the Scorpion and Johnson. Also the boat in the summer. Was always way cheaper to do that then gas up at the marina. Wish I had them.

    What are you most excited for?

    I am looking forward to getting with other club members and starting brushing the trails in anticipation of a decent winter hopefully. It is really sad to see how few people actually pitch in on the trails yet how many complain the trails aren't up to there expectations. After brushing season is...

    What is going on

    I would say for a lot of people this comes down to do you pay someone to do repairs and general maintenance or can you do it yourself. I personally do almost all repairs myself so having a $800 a month payment for a vehicle doesn't interest me. I will do as Paul said get a truck around 30,000...

    What is going on

    Ski Doo is really dropping the ball on color options. Pretty much everyone else has much better color combos and options over Doo. I will just keep riding black sleds I guess until someone else passes them up on quality and runnability. Until then I will buy black sleds and like it.😄

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    Based on the look of the weights I would be taking a good look at the rollers.

    Refrigerator help

    Whitedust may be on to something here based on all the problems you are having. You may be getting voltage spikes coming in on your lines. May want to get a surge protector. You have a lot of trees up that way that end up breaking branches hitting the lines causing a spike. Also just could be...

    Hay Days

    Will be interesting to see what kind of deals there are this year. Most dealers I went to at the end of last year there clothing racks were full. Should be a ton of leftover gear plus now the new gear is coming out. Also be interesting to see how much new gear the dealers take being they most...

    Refrigerator help

    Not a bad idea by garage guy and Gary. Definitely worth a try. On my Samsung we had ice get built up in the fridge. I took off the covers and got the ice out and fridge has been fine since. If you have a place to store everything then unplugging it and letting defrost would be much easier. As...

    Refrigerator help

    Can't hurt to try to replace the control board again if you have a spare. You are correct they just don't make things like they use 2. I think many things have gotten to complicated and all of these fancy electronics just don't hold up. Based on what is happening it either the mother board or...

    Got the itch

    I agree with the SxS route much more comfortable for 2 especially if you are going to putting on any miles. Perhaps you already have plenty of experience on a ATV and already understand there shortfalls. As already said they are tippy especially when you start getting 2 people on them. If you do...

    Polaris Mutt Mod

    Very nice looking sled. You make a very good point. Is this sport expensive. Yes it is if you need to say I am on the latest and greatest. Did forward riding make the hitting the bumps easy on your body,I feel it does. I also feel it may let me ride to an older age than the old iron. There is...

    Hanging up the suit

    Hopefully God willing and good health will be trying to do the same. I have been counting the day for next season since we rode in the Kee the end of March. Already getting excited to go out and brush trails.

    Will the freda loop ever reopen?

    Sure wish they would get it open. It was a nice trail. It's going to be hard though as I just read they have had more washouts on the Bill Nichols trail. That trail will always take priority over the side loops. I didn't realize they were getting that much rain up that way.

    When Karma Comes Calling

    Start hearing about these kinds of thefts every time copper goes way up in value. They will try and cut live service wires steal copper piping for A/C condenser lines any copper they can grab. Used to do At&t work in the city of Chicago. I was always looking over my back for someone wanting to...

    2024 Edgar Hetteen Memorial Award -International Snowmobile Hall of Fame

    He was a true ambassador of the sport who is truly missed. We need more like John in the sport. This is well deserved fantastic news.

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    You are correct on this one. Who's going to stop them? I personally barely ever see a police officer doing radar anymore. We drive from northern IL to Saint Germain almost every weekend and more times than not wont see a single police officer. Then there will be that odd time when we will see 6...
