Look through every wire on the sled - many times something will rub and eventually wear through the insulation and start grounding out. Electrical systems can be funny - a short someplace can mess...

When I had to switch to the next size smaller chain (biggest gear set for the new smaller chain) it was a bugger to get on. There was no side to side flex in the chain and no extra play. I had to...

Either e-bay for used (keep looking - they show up once in a while) or straight from the dealer for new. The official shop manuals are expensive but worth their weight in gold!

If there isn't much side to side play the chain is still in good shape.

However - you do need the right size for the gears you are running. I am not that familiar with the Polaris side of things,...

You really don't want to go with less than 20T on top for any application - it is too small and makes the chain bend too much to go around it. That kind of limits what kind of gear ratio you can get...

Yes - you have to drill holes for the studs, but it is simple. I just tipped my machine on it's side, lay the new carbide in place on the outside of the ski so you can get placement and angle of the...

On my '08 I replaced the stock 5.7's with a pair of used 6.9's that I picked up off of e-bay pretty cheap. I do all of the off-trail I can find (I also upgraded to a 2" paddle track) so I wanted the...

I think they are generally good sleds. If I was getting something from that era (late 90's to early 2000's) I would go with AC. They use a lot of gas and the engines only last about 5000-6000 miles...

It varies with type of use (full throttle uses more oil than idling) but 40:1 is a good rule of thumb. About one quart of oil to 10 gal of gas.
