how to remove stock riser block?

[talkinghamster]

bought a bigger riser, can't get this d@mn stock one off!!!

i don't have a saw to cut it, i think ill buy one if i can't figure out how.

its a 2008 dragon 700.

so if anyone has added a riser to there 2007-2010 RMK/RMK dragon it should be the same.


any help is appreciated.

i used a cut off wheel to get mine off because all the cables were woven through it! mine is an 08 800 dragon

Cutting it off is the easiest, but you can disconnect the wiring and cables if you want to save it.

just becareful holy frick did it get hot, took a while but yes the quickest way...how high are you adding? i added 8.5" but im almost 6' tall lol

do you guys think a manual hand saw would work??

mine is the same as that 08 dragon you have, woven through there like a wicker basket. another brilliant polaris design..... i added a 7 inch riser and I'm about 5-8

i dont think so it is really tough it took me quite a while to cut it off...just hard to hold cuz of the heat and the cables being in the way!

Sure, a hacksaw with the right blade will slice through the aluminium like butter. Your 5'8" and putting on a 7" riser? might be a bit much, maybe you don't want to be cutting the stock one off. I'm 6'3" and went back to the stock riser on my 08 800 (5 1/4") as the 7" one I put on was to high for me.

Leave it alone and add a 2" to the top of it

I put 4in right on top no cutting.

Bolt cutters-lock cutters work great.

you have to take apart the controls to disconnect all the wires to get the wires out of the riser block.
