Whats up with all the newer sleds now days ,we pay so much more for all this advanced technoligy and extra hp but it seems the we spend more time repairing these new sleds than riding why can we have the reliability of bthe old sleds with the advanced technoligy for the amount of money we pay...
should be a trouble free sled as the older rmk 700 and 600s were a very reliable sled and it has very low milage on it for a 01 just be sure to check the motor mounts by opening the hood and lift up on the motor on both sides to make sure mounts aint broke ,check belly pan for cracks and track...
Try frostwire it works the same as limewire but is alot faster downloading music and it wont slow your computer down ive got a total of 2100 songs down loaded off of frostwire so far with no glitches
my best guess is that the clutch needs cleaned ive run accross that problem on alot of the older sleds ive fixed the clutch on the motor is not engaging properly clean both clutches up and youll be out riding as that was a common problem on most of the older sleds pretty sure if you clean up...

stick with the poo as i owned both the poo and the doo the poo was more reliable had 8900miles on it when i sold it last winter had no major problems with it
i would recommend having it repaired properly most likely just a seal leaking the stop leak products are a fine tempory fix for the summer but i find that it causes the ps fluid to get to thick in the cold temps in the winter and it can cause pump and hose failure and even push out seals on the...
just replaced the pump in my 06 chevy alot easier to remove the whole resevoir to replace the pump as it is a pain trying to remove and replace the pump while resevoir is still mounted due to limited amount of work space and it is hard to remove wiring plug from pump when still mounted
had a 2000 rmk 600 smoked like hell when cold ,did the excact same as your sled ,found that carb boots were bad replaced them and went to smokeless strawberry oil ,sled worked perfect after that but almost all polaris,s will smoke on start up whick is good as you know you are getting sufficient...
I would start with the thermostat and check the coolant level as it is most likely the cause of the problem if it run good when parked at end of last season,i also run wetter is better purchased at can tire in my sled as it helps keep the pump lubricated
I think that the problem has to be with a nut,the easiest way to find this nut is to place a mirror on the dash facing the rear of the sled look closely in the mirror and you will see the nut that is causing the problem with the sled,hahaha::
