I had a brand new Polaris with a wobbly lower gear a few years back. It was so bad I was not comfortable leaving it. I highly recommend using Loctite 660 on the splines. The Loctite 660 is for worn shafts and splines. On mine I went a bit farther too. I drilled the axle and retapped larger...
You guys who compare the throttle response of NA sleds to turbos always seem to blame spool time and never discuss the heavy clutch weights that the motor has to swing prior to building boost. Take a NA sled and put turbo weights in it and try to tell me it is just as responsive, I won't agree...
That may be accepted but the law says "clearly visible on the front or back of the vehicle". It is not legal on the side. I told this to the CO who told me to put it on the tunnel and he backed off. I had a tunnel crack from licence plate holes drilled a few years back. Your sticker idea is...
" A different breed of winter adventure" Anyone want to speculate? Doesn't sound like a sled is coming that you are familiar with. Not likely a sled at all. Maybe more like Widescape or something for sled skiing??
You say that but not too many Polaris QD belts are breaking these days. I think they have it figured out. The fact that each belt lists for near $450 is rediculous. Best to sell your QD belt and gears and put the money towards a TKI that can have lower gearing and spare belts are only about $150.
As I remember it, Tom at TKI said the rep for Mitsuboshi was a nice guy and he wanted to support him but when he tested their belts they kept failing and could not bring himself to carrying them. Disclaimer here, someone said they have a better belt now but I do not know.
Unfortunately you are correct about Polaris gaining weight. The hood and 7S gauge added a bunch, also the Series 9 track. I also noticed my Boost did not get the carbon fibre overstructure like my other sled. The turbo is designed about as light as they can go but the stock muffler is a...
Only Gates Polychain failures I have see have been from installation errors or foreign objects tearing them up. Not saying landing on full boost with hard ground can't break them but you are in chain failure territory at that point.
It takes a big man to admit he is wrong. I respect that. You are right about the clutch. and I was wrong thinking that the P22 was going to be a good clutch.
Hang on.............I am 100% sure you swore up and down at the 9R release that the motors would grenade before they got 100 kms on them. Now you say they are a good engine. That must hurt?
Trailing Arms? Full A-arm front suspension? Slide rear suspension? Aluminum tunnel? Secondary clutch cam shaft design? On and on it goes but Ski-Doo had many firsts too. And soon to be.....Buddy tracking, without cell service.
There are some places that had 140-150 cm of snow and got at least 25 cm new over the last couple days. It will need more but will be rideable. Keep in mind March is our snowiest month normally.
