Kids are in bed, wife is at a Bible study group.I’ve got some quiet time. Here I am watching a video of an XLT build and ride. I can’t freaking wait for winter. Thank you!
Great series ! Subscribed ! Really enjoyed watching ! Huge fan of XLT’s and have had several ! Some from new and also some second hand. And I’m in Maine. Paused to see the Saddleback sign. lol. Take care
Those Indy triples with a triple pipe n clutched like xc/r would walk off on most sleds in 90s/early 00s,my bud had the white hood model that sled was legendary.Those XLTs were nice too.
Love XLT's. Had a '97 Touring model myself, absolutely awesome. Rode real nice woth that XTRA-12 suspension, was fast, and looked slick. Currently trying to find another XLT Touring. Still have the old DG can from my '97 that made that triple sing.
Did you ever figure out the oil pump alignment marks? Im fighting that on my 1997 xlt rmk. Ive heard from some people the manual calls for lining up at idle not wide open throttle. Sounds back wards to me.
Hi Dennis, I just bought a 1996 Polaris xlt Indy 600 triple. I want to go through this whole machine and am looking for any suggestions, engine rebuild manuals. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You certainly seem like you know how to do this.
I have both the Clymer manual the the official Polaris Service Manual. I would highly recommend the Polaris service manual. If you do a search you will find a link to purchase and download the manual. Also, do a search on Al's Snowmobile in Vermont. They specialize in parts for vintage snowmobiles and also have a great tech department to run questions by. Good Luck!
Priceless.

Great job! Ran my 97 XLT in Maine for three days .. 250 miles

Do you have a layout on the carb vent lines with the T’s and the water traps?
Needs SLP Race Pipes

Did you wait till the thermostat opened on the rebuild? Then go for a tear.
We did yes. Although, my son was riding the XLT and promised me that he would go easy until it broke in. The video footage suggests otherwise….
Where the heck do you guys live??
