Is it normal to have a little side to side play in the front track shock? The shock and bushings are new but I was surprised to see it move after I installed all new parts. 2017 XCR 800 if that matters. Thanks!
So you don't completely screw up your camber when adjusting those control arm bushings I bought two packages of the steel washers so I can tighten them up without moving the control arms too much👍👍👍
Jesse how about a video on what you carry in your bags on the sled tools mainly. Also I have never heard you guys mention ice scratchers. What are your thoughts on them brand style etc. Got the tv set up in the garage now to watch while tinkering on the sled
i dont even carry anything but i need to get some tools together for sure. as far as scratchers Bruce and i do not run them. i have never seen a reason too but he has been installing alot of BRP scratchers on customers sleds
i do not as ive never needed too. Bruce sees some sleds taht come in from time to time that needed them done but not urgent. BUT its something to do in the off season just as preventative maintenence
@@JESSEJAMES322 i do my own dirtbike suspension work and figure the shocks are all basically very similar in principle. I do still have to take my shock in to local dealer for the nitrogen.
Enjoy watching your videos. But for a regular hard-working guy like me, I have a hard enough time getting a new sled once every 5 or 6 years, let alone every year. I snowchecked my first polaris ever this year an xc650 137. What is really irritating me about the whole thing is that I built my sled, got it ordered and confirmed then got told I couldn't get it in the shadow gray and black like I wanted. It came red and gray. What good does it do to have snowcheck and options if you can't get it. And people like you who do what you do for a living i.e. the videos and stuff seem to get whatever you want when you want it. I'm not jealous or mad about what happened to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one this happened to. But why is that?
Hey Jim congrats on the new sleds. So anything I have a certain way I build them they way. I change panels and colors and wrap sleds. The sleds from factory come with a certain color scheme and that’s all that you can do unless you change the panels im sorry you feel singled out but that’s not the case
@JESSEJAMES322 Jesse, thanks for replying. I don't feel singled out. My real question was, why does polaris offer options to build a sled the way a consumer wants it, if you can't get it the way you built it. That doesn't make any sense. No need to reply back.

Hey Jessie what are you doing for lubing the secondary bearing that should have a grease fitting?

Did you make a video about how to replace à spring on a shock???
Which spring are you referring too?

it is normal believe it or not. even brand new sleds have some side to side slop.
You guys are awesome! Appreciate all the time you put into these videos!
Thanks for watching and all the support!
Do you ever replace the narrow, bronze sleeve bushing in the moveable sheave of the driven clutch?
if It needs to be replaced yes
@@JESSEJAMES322 thanks for the reply. What clearance, in thousandths, do you look for between the shaft and the sheave?
I appreciate you sharing your expertise. Thank you.
Thank you for following along!!

hold that thought. let us do our video!!

We get a ton of ice on the trails around Greenville and over heat without them / burn up the hyfax
the BRP ones seem to be the best option.
Could you do a suspension set up video for a aggressive trail rider for a Polaris rush
have it recorded and will be posting in the next few weeks.
Thank you
Hey Jesse, do you clean the VES valves periodically?
i do not as ive never needed too. Bruce sees some sleds taht come in from time to time that needed them done but not urgent. BUT its something to do in the off season just as preventative maintenence
Thank you for this information!🙂
happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Can you guys do a how to for walker evans shock rebuild?
we do not recommend anyone doing it themselves so we dont show step by step unfortunatley.

that doesnt really make sense. if you snowchecked a sled then it should come as you snowchecked it UNLESS your deealer messed up
Great video guys, thanks!
Thank you!
Just got a stop ride on my Assault. So dumb. Constant.
