What kind of engine does Polaris XLT-sp have?
1997 XLT-SP* Nearly all ‘97s I worked on had the older –03 engine in them and suffered the same crank failures. Late production units got the new –04 engine which fixed the problem. The 1993/94 580cc monoblocks were extremely reliable and had very few crank failures. Most other Xtra Lite Triples were quite durable as well, unless noted above.
Which is the worst Polaris sled to buy?
Based on the case reed Ultra 680 lower end with smaller cylinders, triple pipes from the Storm, and dropped in the good looking but extremely heavy Aggressive chassis, low end or trail power was never this sleds cup of tea- at least it didn’t lack too much in the top end department. The 1996 XCR-600 SP was the worst of the bunch.
What was the problem with the Polaris XCR?

Why is my Polaris Xtra Lite triple not working?
The Xtra Lite Triple was never designed to turn 9200 rpms and push out over 110 horsepower, which is why bolt on mods are all it can handle. A big factor in many piped and built up XLT failures is excessive heat. Removing the hood screens or adding a nosecone radiator is a good idea if you plan to really try and push the XLT to its limits.
