    Starter

    Has anyone ever used an aftermarket starter with any luck. My starter works but makes an awful grinding noise while starting the sled. It is a 2012 Polaris Rush 600. Everything else in the starting system has been replaced so I’m sure the starter is just getting tired. I found one from a company...

    Minnesota snow

    It has been tough to find any updates, the DNR board won’t update until Thursday. So where in Minnesota did this storm stay all snow and how much have you received so far? Looking to go to Brainerd area or even further northwest to places that received no rain.

    Anyone ride out of Hinckley yet this season? Looks like they have plenty of snow that direction, thinking about driving up in the morning and riding for the day.

    Solenoid to starter cable wire

    I have a 2012 Polaris Rush 600 for my son. It has electric start and seems to not want to start on a cold engine but will start after the engine has been running.

I went thru all the normal maintenance items including the clutches, all the parts seemed in good shape. But I am fairly certain I did not assemble the secondary clutch properly. I know which...

    Polaris sleds

    I am a Skidoo guy so I don’t know much about Polaris. I want to upgrade my son who will turn 15 this winter from a 2003 rev that he has now to something newer with electric start.

    Trailers

    I'm going to buy an enclosed trailer and I'm wondering what's the smallest trailer I can buy that I would be able to fit 3 sleds in if I needed. Most of the time I only transport 2, but occasionally I would like to put 3 in. I have been looking at 7x17 or 7x19.
