In case anyone is interested in my rambling opinions... Looks like Polaris is walking back on the external shock skid design. New CC suspension in the Indy is a high end painted tunnel, painted rail premium shock sled at the same price point as the Axys AND comes with the 850. You don't make a...

I'm checking my clutch alignment and things have moved from last season. In the picture, I have the secondary clutch loose to illustrate. At #1 the secondary is touching the bar. At #2 there is a .140 gap. Do I adress this with just engine movement? Or do I need to move the jack shaft too...

Question for guru's and pontificators. Why do you think polaris builds the primary so it doesn't shift out all the way? Does ski doo cat and yami do the same? I'm currently prepping my primary for the season and got curious. Thinking about it from a manufacturing standpoint and the fact that...

In your guys opinion, how many miles is the helix bushing good for?

I need a technical/historical lesson to satisfy my curiosity. I'm browsing Craigslist for fun and see lots old triple triples. Got me thinking, multi pipe setups used to be the ticket to big HP, even on twins. Today we get all the power with single pipe setups. What changed? Pipe science and...

I did most of the recommended clutching and setup outlined by people like Brock, Doc and Racerdave. My sled was transformed faster and more fun than any other 800s I rode with this season. I have not checked the TPS yet. If the sled runs well, is fast and gets expected fuel economy, should I...

Another thing the Axys does well. We got 30" of snow. I went out to break trail. I'm impressed with how well this sled does in powder. Being only 120" I didn't expect much. But it's the best 120" sled I have ever driven in deepish snow. The sleds balance and the way the engine responds is...

For the record and anyone who cares. Thanks to everyone who contributed past advice on here and Hard Core Sledder. Time and money were more limited than normal this year. I did a budget temporary setup. Budget as in I found used components where possible and went with the minimum number of...

Is it typical for this sled to have track drone in the 40-60mph range? I've been trying to ignore it. But my princess like sensibilities are winning. The noise drives me nutty. My alignment and tension are within spec. I studded the sled as soon as I got it so I don't know if its the studs, or...

This may be dumb, or covered before, but I can't find any information. I'm changing my gears and making sure my exhaust is sealed. With the exhaust off, I couldn't keep my grubby and curious hands away from the valve servo motor arm. I ended up moving the arm. Was this a stupid move? When the...

Is there a helix bushing replacement for the tss04? Thanks

Merry Christmas! 2016 leftover pro s 800. I put on 110 miles on Friday. Halfway out I got got very nauseous. The smell was killing me. Is this just break in mode plus extra oil in the tank? Every year I seem to get more sensitive to exhaust fumes. I have read that some people are more...

So the Polaris 800 did very well at the shootout this year as it has done every year. My fanboy brand ego side likes that. By my technical and "betting man" side thought the new 850 ski doo would have won. Or at least done better than it did. Looking at DTR, it had all the power it needed...

How fast is the Axys 800 and similar sleds compared to some of the historically fastest? As in, how do the recent 800s compare to Thundercats, Triples from the early 2000s, Ski doo SDI 1000, Fusion900, cat 1000 etc...? "Reasonably stock" top speed AND/or acceleration, real world. I have only...

Hi. Recovering perfectionist here. Looking at Dynotech Research and the Axys 800 response to break in, I'm trying to correlate dyno time to trail time. As in, how many high load full throttle runs on the trail before I can be reasonably satisfied that I've broken in the rings? I want a strong...

Some kinda modern art style statement or functional? What's the deal?

Shock shafts on a 0 mile 2016 Pro S. I'm just venting. I picked it up as a month back. I just got the opportunity to look it over and noticed the shafts. The center shock shaft is perfect. The fronts are pitted where the bump stops were, and starting to rust in other spots. The rear shaft had...
