I used to argue with sled guy as I was blinded by love, now the love is gone and my wallet is empty. $25 grand and counting. POS!!
Sled_guy, your right and I'm sorry!
Ya obviosly people have had problems with the 900's thats for sure but i haven't yet and i could notice the difference in the vibration with at first balancing the clutch then adding the touque arm and push arm it did make a difference not only in the vibration but also in the power and i am glad i did it with relatively low miles on the machine. I measured the crank runout before i did anything and it was well within specs also like i say i ride with other guys with 900's and there is a very noticable difference in the vibration of mine to theirs so i can see what they are talking about, vibration is bad in any engine and will eventually lead to a engine failure thats for sure, and thanks to this forum for helping me understand exactly what i had to deal with, i bought the machine without knowing what i was getting into it has been a experience to say the least.
But don't you just love to start'm on a reallly cold mornin!
Starts fine -37 with wind chill here right now 3 pulls but it took a while for guages and reverse to start working which was kind of weird first time that happend, but it takes me a while to get working in this cold too lol.
try the 975...
LOL!! When you finally lose it and get pissed off enough to sell, I'll be happy to!! It is an 06' isn't it?

The top oil line that goes in between the cylinders down to the crank case goes into a brass elbow come out so i took off the pipe and if i would of road 1 more minute it would of been toast but pushed it back in and put bout 25oz of oil in side gas tank instaed of back in the oil bottle. Went down there trail stopped to c if it stayed but it came out i contacted polaris and they said you cant get that fitting inless you buy the case so what are some good ways to make sure that it wont come out again. I GOT ANOTHER ? SO WHEN IT GETS PAST THE BIG HOSE IT SHOULDNT DRAIN THE OIL SHOULD IT CAUSE IT OILS PARTS OF THE CRANK WERE THE OIL INJECTOR DONT LUBE IS THAT RIGHT OR NOT WHEN I PUT THE OIL IN THE GAS IT SEEM TO BE FAT BE STILL SEEMED TO RUN GOOD I WENT STAIGHT BACK TO THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT THERE THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON I WAS BOUT 10 MILES FROM THE TRUCK IF THAT MATTERS THANKSFOR YOUR HELP
