Scratchers

[sidehil]

Well the 2024s scratchers are awesome but
You get 2 rides and the spring breaks,
**** snow flap, engine ice, 2024scratchers, these sleds are junk, they guy that shorted up 6 inches on the cooler should work for KTM

Sounds like a serious case of low-snow conditions.

Ice and it’s a normal start for every damn snow park in Washington, I don’t get it, sled rips but getting to the goods has been horrible for 2 years

I did get the gravel out of quick drive, light battery thing was awesome, MT Baker requires some dirt biking on a sled)

order a set of ice storm scratchers, much better than OEM scratchers, 7 or 8 guys we know have them and all agree they work the best by far.

My 2024 scratchers have been awesome. No issues & coming up on 400 miles.

New Polaris scratchers are far better than anything aftermarket. They do break at the mounts, so keep spares available.

500 km on my new style scratcher night and day difference compared to the previous Polaris scratcher

I’ve storm scratchers are better than the new Polaris scratchers. Have tried both and ice storms run cooler.

Yeah, same. My skid and rails are taking a beating this year. My nearly new sled looks pretty bad from all the 3/4 mile dirt road screams to the snow. Might be time to go around the snow berms. I noticed this yesterday INSTALLING these polaris scratchers.

i took off the reversible rsi/ski doo copies.

This 100%, depending on conditions wire scratchers just draw a line in the snow and throw up very little sometimes. Buddy was running Ibex / Skidoo imitation scratchers and kept overheating, ruined a day of riding for us, my same sled with ice storm kept cool... the new Polaris ones are still just wire scratchers and even though reverse safe, will have this same problem. Get ice storm scratchers, and/or look into an aftermarket cooler as a last resort...

I didnt look but someone added a simple 1/4" cable clamp to rail scratchers that worked great. My homemade ski mounted grain reel tines have saved my hyfax for 20+ years.

I have some haying equipment spare parts around, bonus points for pics of what you did. Back on my old 1999 RMK I ran ski scratchers... I think SLP made them but not sure anymore...

I was out riding my 2024 9r today at stampede pass Washington, low snow and icy conditions. Sled never got above 125 degrees hauling ass or just cruising down the trail. Stock ice scratchers work great and this sled runs very cool.

Yep. I would put them on the doo also. I see people griping about doo heat exchangers and putting snowflaps on them. Polaris scratchers prove that you don't need that. They work better with a short flap and you're not having to go on or off with a flap. I have a cat that is almost unrideable in the conditions you are talking about. In the process of trying to get some twisted up but everyone is on hold until we see what happens with them.

I was going to tig weld a nut on the end of my doo scratcher just do make more friction and snow dust.

You can just thread it 10/32 and put a nylock nut on.
