New to Polaris

Hi.......Im in the Kootenays here and just bought a demo 2012 800 pro. Been on Cats and Yamahas forever and had awesome luck actually. Now is time ...........got Cats and Eps all over the hills here.what do I need to make this dance? Any and all info is appreciated. thanks in advance. Randy :)
 
You might not have to do much of anything unless the dealer has detuned it, (seems to happen every now and then). I've been tuning and testing on Pros for two seasons and have found that it is really difficult to improve on Polaris's recommendations. Try whats in the set-up manual, below 8,000' run 10-62's with the black primary (140/330) and the stock helix 56/42/.36 with the stock black secondary spring. Above 8,000 run 10-60's, if your backshift is a little weak at elevation you may want to install the heavier black/purple secondary spring. I've been out riding and competing with quite a few other recommended set-ups from different dealers, most of them have gone back to stock. 8,000 RPM's is where you want to be. 8,200 r's positively puts less speed to the track.
 
awesome!!

thats the info Im looking for a greatly appreciated! Ill be testing next week and get back on here then. Were mostly 4 to 8 here....cant wait to try the sidehilling :) thnx again!!!! Randy
 
I am running 10-64's @ 4-6k' in the Lookout / Coeur d'Alene area and it seems to work well. Taching around 8100 RPM. The sled seems to bog from the limiter if you get much more RPM than that.

Also, I posted this on another thread but the pro set up questions seems to be a popular item tonight. BTW, I am no expert but this has worked well for me riding in mostly trees and climb areas around here:

I like the skis in the inboard position, front shocks as loose as you can go without the keepers falling out & with the sway bar in . RTS at 10" & FTS with about an inch of threads showing. SLP blue/pink primary clutch spring and the exhaust valve solenid hoses disconnected, plug the EV ports with holley plugs, & I run the pink springs (lighter) in the EV. Really wakes the Pro up in the midrange!

I tried running without the sway bar but it was just too floppy. Maybe with a stiffer spring up front it would work? I am 200 lbs and probably 225 geared up.
