We're headed to the Milw snow show on Sat. With the weather being as warm as it is, we're thinking about camping Sat. night. Are there any good places to camp near there? Basically just looking for a place to set up a campfire and pitch a tent...nothing too fancy. We'll be driving up from...

We rode in the West once - a few years back - and stayed at the Turpin Meadow Lodge, which is 8 miles by trail from the Togwotee Lodge. That's the only area I know. We had such a great time I don't even know if I'd consider going anywhere else, but what are the other choices available for...

Hey, it seems like you don't hear much about the arctic cat 4 strokes. When you look at the arctic cat sites, it seems like all the discussion is about the turbos and mods, etc. What is the non turbo 4 stroke cat like compared to say the F6? That's supposed to be an incredible chassis, just...

Hey all, we went to the novi show a couple of years back and loved it. The milw show will work better in terms of timing this year. Is this show comparable to the novi show? I've heard the novi show is bigger but not sure how much different. Thanks!

I think I'm going to need a new battery for next season in my 06 Fusion 600. My question is, do I even need one? I bought the sled used and wouldn't have paid for e-start if I bought it new. I don't mind pull starting it, but I'm wondering if it will run ok or at all without the battery. I...

One of the topics that comes up from time to time with a couple of riding buds, normally after a few beverages, is that we should go in together and purchase some property somewhere in the Northwoods of Wisconsin or in the UP (where we ride 90% of the time). Since we're all fairly young and...

Looking at moving. Can list house on MLS for about $400 and probably have to pay buyer-side realtor either way. Is using a realtor worth the extra money?

How do your groups keep track of trip expenses? We generally take turns paying for stuff and then try to add it all up later...which is always sort of a headache. I've thought about using a kitty, where everyone throws in some cash, but it's usually just easier to use a credit card at the...

10,000 miles or 5 years is a pretty good life for a 2 stroke trail sled, assuming you ride 2000 miles/year, take reasonably good care of it, etc. I know they can go longer, but assuming that's a good life for a trail sled without dumping any money into it, how long will a mountain sled last...

I put the sled down for the offseason last weekend, and I greased the driveshaft bearing down below the secondary. I noticed the service manual also said to grease the jackshaft bearing. Where is this? I assume it's on the other side of the driveshaft.

I've had my clutches aligned and I'm still having trouble with the belts breaking prematurely. I think I'm breaking them in correctly. Any other ideas of what to check? 06 Fusion 600.

What's the difference (besides the price obviously)? The Valdez is way out of my range, but I'm wondering what makes it so much more expensive.

will be up that way this weekend...

My sled locked up a few weeks back, and I had it repaired by a Polaris mechanic that my father-in-law knows well. The engine needed pretty much a total rebuild. Below is the explanation I got from the mechanic. I'm not the most mechanical guy, so I wanted to put this out there to see if it...

I have this sled and was wondering what the name of the track is. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.

My buddy is looking for a leftover IQ 600 somewhere in the midwest, preferable, WIS, IL, MI or IN. I found one on ebay in MN. Please let me know if you know of any. Thanks!

Do you have to pull the airbox off to fog a Fusion 600? I haven't pulled that off before, but I've heard it's kind of a pain to take on and off. I haven't fogged an engine before either, but it doesn't seem too difficult. Thanks.

My 06 Fusion 600 has about 3000 miles. Rod bearing just failed. It's in good condition other than that. lol. It's going to cost about $1800 to have a professional rebuilt the engine. I could save a decent amount by only replacing one cylinder, or rebuilding myself with my Dad's help. Just...

My engine broke down a week ago. Dropped it off at a northwoods mechanic that I have reason to trust. He took the engine apart and determined the rod bearing failed. Needs significant rebuild including crank repair. Asked me if I fogged the engine. I bought it last winter and did not...

Anyone ridden both of these sleds and can compare the handling, suspension, etc. I love the IQ suspension, and I'm thinking about a 4 stroke, and I'm not crazy about the idea of the turbo engine they put in the IQs. Seems like the new Vector would be a good choice, but I'm wondering how it...
