    2003 Polaris 700 Touring - sled suddenly running rich, won't idle

    Before I start shooting in the dark, I'd like some pointers on basic things to check or if you've had this issue, what fixed it. Sled has ran great for the few years that I have owned it and ran just fine on an early season 25 mile test run this year. Loaded up and headed North (Wisconsin) for...

    Amsoil 4 stroke oil vs Arctic Cat ctec4

    I'm new to 4-stroke sleds and just wondering about peoples thoughts/experiences with Amsoil 0-40 oil vs the Arctic Cat ctec4 oil. The AC oil change kits are handy but I could use Amsoil for about the same cost, just not as easily accessible. What do you run in your Yama-Cat 4 strokes??

    Sled blown up from water in fuel???

    Ok, here's the scenario. About 400 miles ago (in December) compression was 125 on both sides. Yesterday went out for a ride after fueling up and about 10 miles in I gave it the beans and the temp light (det) flashed and it died. Could not pull engine over. Removed plugs and engine turned fine...

    '06 Fusion 600 (carb) altimeter question.

    Does the altimeter setting on the digital display affect the engine/timing/etc. in any way shape or form? Or is it just informational? I don't think I have the optional sensor but the altimeter display just reads 15,000 meters. Since that's not a realistic number, is that just what it defaults...

    Polaris broken lower gear bolt/chain case destruction

    Well it had to happen to me! My son's '03 ProX 600 (no longer have) grenaded the chain and chain case a few years back at the fault of a broken lower gear bolt. After all properly repaired it ran fine. The next year curiosity got the best of me so I pulled the cover and sure enough the head...

    Pocket Pistol for Concealed Carry

    OK friends, I need your input. I am looking to get a small semi-auto pistol for concealed carry and I really can't decide which one. I'm already pretty well set on a .380 because of the easily concealable size. Here are my options so far: S&W BODYGUARD - I think the laser is neat but don't...

    96 Indy 500 hard starting after sitting a few days????

    I have a 1996 Polaris Indy 500 Carb (fuji)that has always ran and started just fine. This year for some reason it is a real pain to get it started after it has sat a few days. Once running it will start easy over and over again all day. Put in new plugs, have good spark, and plugs are wet...

    Max track lug height on a 96 Polaris 500???

    I need to replace the track on my daughters 1996 Polaris Indy 500. The original track I believe is the .912 height and it has studs. I'm looking at putting in a 1.25" ripsaw and NO PICKS. Has anyone successfully put this tall of a lug on one of these sleds or know if there is safely enough...

    2003 pro x 600, no brake light????????

    I just got a '02 prox 600 for my son and the brake light doesn't work and neither does the brake light in the dash. I checked both bulbs - OK. Checked the brake light switch for continuity and got a lower ohm when squeezing brake but not a direct connection. Also, could not get a voltage...

    121" to 136" or 121" to 144" extension

    I am thinking about stretching my '02 XCSP 600 to get a beter ride on the moguled trails. I am trying to decide between a 136" straight extension or the 144" tip-up extension. Is the extra length of the 144 really any better than the 136? If I put the 144" tip-up on it do I need to add wheels...

    Polaris 550 IQ Shift

    I would like to hear the good, bad, and ugly from those of you who have owned/ridden a 550 shift. I like the idea of cheap, easy to work on and gets the job done but am weighing it against power and speed of a 600. I ride in Northern Illinois and Northern Wisconsin where there's not a lot of...
