Come on Polaris give us a little something!
- Thread starter KingCon
- Start date
I just checked a Ski Doo with the hot start deal. I would have never done that in the past but this fall i tore a muscle in my shoulder. Every time I went riding I re tore it pull starting my sled. It would start to get better by Friday and boom horrible pain mon through wed over and over...HA
For some reason my 15 is a bitch to start when it is warm.

I misrepresented Shot abit in my previous comment - looks like it's good for more then 30 minutes, where's it's still at 90% and gradually bleeding down, based on the Norona comments elsewhere, but SD is supposedly underselling the duration. Cool tech, and just like belt drive, RER, batteryless EFI, etc., another example of how these sleds keep innovating, because the competition so stiff. We win. I hope cat survives for another generation of the M. It will only make the RMK and Summit better.
My 15 LE came with es for free, 16 was extra and I wasn't paying for it. Do I miss it? Yes but not a chance would I pay extra for a heavier sled. If it was free I would've gotten it again though... with a lightweight WPS battery this time around...
When you ride with the wife and have to stop numerous times per day waiting for her to get caught up (she likes to stop and take pictures...often!).
You get real tired of yanking that rope every time you have to re-start it...gets old, but then again I'm 52, so there's that too, lol.

I want a purpose built snowbike with an 800 and CVT.
(I would add)
And not a single TimberSled part on it.
Is your 15 a Ski Doo? If so its your fuel pump, My 16 Doo was that way till I got the pump replaced.
Good luck
Too wide between your legs. One of the best features of a dirt bike is how narrow they are.

That is why I won't buy one from them even if they do build it. I have not bought a stock sled since 2002 anyway. I make my own.
The CVT does not have to be too wide. It IS currently with the drive clutch, driven clutch and belt, but that is not the only way to have a functional CVT, It IS just what we have come to know (and is cheaper and easier for the little guy to deal with). We need to step outside that box! It can be far lighter and be centrally located inside the drivers, should they choose to make the largest strides in weight and technology at the same time.
??? Snow Hawk , not many were bought.
Possibly but then you might end up with a sort of twisting motion. Think drag car launching.Turn the engine sideways . ..would be pretty narrow then

This is penned in the sarcasm font, but probably is the reality of a sideways mounted engine at least with all the inertia the current CV (Primary and Secondary mass brings to the table). And I don't really see any width benefit when you add the throttle bodies and air box hanging out one side and pipes hanging off the other, into the mix, not to mention the secondary and the 90 degree drive to the driveshaft.
When accelerating the bike leans hard to the left forcing a sharp hairpin left turn. When decelerating it leans right and falls over. These reactions may be the opposite depending on whether they put the clutches towards the front or the back (which effectively reverses rotational characteristics).
Not to say it could not be done. It would be really entertaining throwing newbies on it and laughing at them when they experience the unforeseen effects.
A belt driven primary clutch may skinny the engine up enough.
V-twin?
