check for the fourth oil line that goes to the pto bearing! If not it only has 3. Prone to crank problems. How many miles? Is it stock or have aftermarket parts on it,ie... pipes! I have a 97 with the 4th oil line and have 0 problems other than oil and plugs.Not a rocket by todays standards so dont let the 600 triple thing fool ya! LOL. Just my .02 cents
Your talking about a sled that made sled of the year, what else would you like to know? XLT's do not run the problematic
XCR engine. Compare it to the newest machines available and it doesn't look very good. Compared to machines it's own age
and price range and it's a very good buy.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply they all had problems, only a far higher percentage than a Polaris should be. Would I buy one, and then be surprised if it had a crank failure while I owned it?
Sorry, but no and no.
To sit there and tell a potential buyer who has asked a direct question regarding that motor anything else would pretty much defeat the purpose of answering his question.
If you believe the reputation that motor has is not well deserved, well, you've got your head in the sand.
Please, don't believe for a second that I am not a huge fan of the Polaris triple. You couldn't be further from the truth. I own 4 of them personally and most of the guys I run with are also on them. I just don't have much nice to say about that one.

I am looking at what I think is a 1987 Polaris Indy Trail, could someone please help me verify what sled this is.

I would like to know what engine this has as well. It is 2 cylinder
Hello All,
I have a 2004 Polaris Frontier touring 4 stroke liquid cooled sled with the 136" x 15" x 1" track with the 2.52 pitch track that I use purely for ice fishing. Can I stud this track without damaging the tunnel or rear heat exchanger? I purchased 108 Fast Trac 1.175" triple X series...
While doing Polaris oil change there was a burning smell during the key cycling stage. After oil change there is still smoke under the hood coming up during idle.
95 polaris 500 efi - bogs down after warm up. I see others with similar problem. Machine runs fine for 20 min. Then it begins to bog down. Shut it off for 10 sec, something in ECU resets and it runs fine for 10 min, then begins bogging down again. Shut it off for 10 sec, runs fine for 10 min ...
