No problems. The 600 mill is running as advertised so far.Performance on the trails is pretty decent. It's a very rider active chassis I find which suits me well as I like to move around on the machine alot. Not much snow here in the valley floor but you take a 15 minute drive to the south mountain and the snow is up to your waist in spots. If I can finish with over 1000kms I'll be a happy camper. There is snow here you just gotta know where to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500ssman Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I played around a bit with rear and IFS shocks but to make it corner really well I'd have to drill another set of holes in the limiter strap to keep the front down in the turns and get rid of the stock 4"inch carbides. I heard that Polaris sells a trail limiter strap that is adjustable. I'm still trying to find a acceptable balance, maybe I'll loosen up the FTS and go from there. But really just like you said I'm just happy to have a new sled and will play around with it more next season. As for deep snow...well kinda been in some stuff and the sled seems to perform pretty well as long as you stay on the gas but noticed it does tend to trench easily.

Yup I did all that after about 50 kms. My track was like 1 1/4 inch loose lol. No I don't have the wrench and that damn locknut was on so tight I had too use a punch to loosen it. The weight transfer on that skid is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500ssman Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey Glen, I just discovered something....probably nothing but check for ice buiild-up where the lines go into the rear cooler. I found solid chunks of ice in there which could jam up and fracture those lines with all the movement there. Once again probably nothing but just letting ya know.
