How much play should be in a snowmobile track?
With around 1-1/2 inch of track deflection with a small amount amount of force pushing down on the track (16 lbs per the manual), that seems to be a good balance of loose enough but not too loose.
How do you lower the snow pressure on a snowmobile?
Reduce ski pressure by increasing spring pre load on front TRACK shock and decreasing on rear TRACK shock. Think of the sled as a see saw, the front TRACK shock is the pivot point and the softening the rear allows the weight to transfer to the rear and lighten the front end– thereby reducing ski pressure.
Is the 600 XC SP still in the Polaris edge?
After a six-year run in the EDGE chassis, the 600 XC SP is gone. It’s been replaced for 2006 by the younger, fresher 600 HO Fusion. But we’re sure we’ll meet countless XC SPs again.
What kind of suspension does a Polaris snowmobile have?
I have a friend who asked me to work on his sleds. He has two 2003 Polaris 600 Classic Touring snowmobiles. The suspension on both of them isn’t the greated. The problem is they don’t sit high. You can lift up the rear and they stay up but once you sit on them they go down almost all the way.
What makes a Polaris edge a good sled?
Clutch calibrations were spot on. Acceleration was strong and the pulleys backshifted quickly, which made the sled snap out of corners when we got back into the throttle. The EDGE skidframe transferred weight for adequate traction but kept the skis on the ground for maximum control. The low-slung chassis was predictable through the woods.
How much sag does a Polaris 600 sled have?
Adjust a little and check because a little goes a long way on the M-10. You should end up with about 3 inches of sag with no weight on sled and more with rider on it also account for rider gear. Just adjust a little and check but dont crank settings all the way if you have to then replace the springs. He bought the sleds at the end of last season.
Is the Polaris 550 Edge Trail touring ski sled?
Some people put those things through heck running a trapline or hauling stuff, the Trail RMK is the backbone of rental fleets all over the country, and the original poster had great luck with his sled, so what was so different about what was going on at a ski hill? I heard bout the probs with my sons 03 550 when i got it.
