This is a perfect video to show people who buy a new sled that they need to take it in after 500 miles for service. Every snowmobile manufacturer tells you to bring your sled in for service after 500 miles so they can check over the sled and address any issues. Your videos are great and always a good laugh. Keep up the good work and beer drinking.
The one liners is worth the watch! The Mechanic work is just a bonus.
haha thanks! 🍻
Best sled channel out there.and this dude is only about 45 minutes from me. I should stop over for some beers one day.. my 2 sons and I watch every one
Im from BOBCAYGEON
@@stevetheriault4164 haha I have family there 🤟
thanks!! that's awesome of ya to say and thanks for watching and subscribing. there's always some cold ones in the fridge 🍻
@RedNecks & DirtyHands that sled looks like most of my customers vehicles lack of routine maintenance, rode hard put away half broken some people shouldn't own machines unless they can service them or make sure the regular seasonal maintenance is done. Good work per usual 😎🤙🏁
Good info on the quality of Polaris. Much appreciated
Don't forget. The American made motto is. make it cheap as possible to maximize profits. The Japan one is make it better than anyone else and spare no expense.
Totally awesome video. I LOVE your channel. Very informative and honest assessment of all types of machines.
Thank you very much! glad you are enjoying them 🍻
I worked in TV editing for 45 years. Your comedic timing is insanely funny. You have more knowledge about snowmobiles and ATVs and everything else. I want to get my sled fixed by u but I know your busy as hell. Lol. Blowing up that 21 Polaris was off the hook funny Wow keep it up. telling everyone I know about your channel. Been watching for just over a year
I love how you're just "bombing" on polaris's new sleds 😄 I enjoy wrenching but not on the newer sleds, guess I'm old school savvy. thanks for sharing rndh ✌️
lol thanks! 🍻
“I’ll try not to flash my butt crack here. “ Thanks for the consideration.
lol you're welcome!! 🍻
Love the videos Pete, just found the channel after picking up a Yammie 700 Mountain Max. Definitely interesting to see the build quality of the new machines that cost $15k+ as opposed to the oldie but goodie I picked up for 800 bucks. Nice one!
thanks! 🍻
Wow, that was definitely a Friday afternoon built sled. It is absolutely incredible that a sled with 3,000 km has all those issues, it can't be a coincidence... their quality control department need to be fired. That was a great video, very informative, every Polaris owner or any potential Polaris owner need to watch this video. As usual, very entertaining as well... great job sir !!
thank you! 🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands I'll stick with my old snow pony for sure🤙
Tell the truth I think it owner error . I dont care what brand sled it is if you don't take care of it and beat beat hell out of it you will have problems
@@funtyes1970 yep..and most people never adj. the drive chain or change the chaincase oil!
Friday engineered. Like everything produced today. Built for service.
Once again another great video. Can't wait to be able to order some merchandise so I can support RN+ DH here in northern lower Michigan. Keep er going gents...Cheers!
thank you! and thanks for the support!!! we will get some merch available very soon 🍻
have a 12 assault, top wheel design is very similar.. that little spacer up top, your able to tighten, and it solved all my issues
Good stuff.. Working on sleds & drinking bl's 🍻 nice👍
The slop on the upper drive shaft is unforgivable , I have owned them all including a 2010 Polaris Rush that was a sweetheart for 7000 trouble free miles , replaced ONE driveshaft bearing and 2 high pressure fuel filters , Have an apex ltx and a viper xtx in the fleet , to Polaris defense on the non drain plug the reason is that they WANT you to have to crack case that way you will inspect chain and gears , makes sense ! Great vids as always.
thank you! 🍻
Love it when you rip on Polaris Merry Christmas brother
lol Merry Christmas 🍻
I CAN REMEMBER TAKING A RISK 30 YEARS AGO ,,WHEN I WALKED INTO THE FIRST IN ATHERLY ,,NASTIEST STRIP JOINT AROUND🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you survived the first you survived the Corona virus lmfao (atherly arms)
@@ryanxcr800 YEAH BUDDY CORONAS GOT NOTHIN ON THAT PLACE 😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@stevetheriault4164 definitely a dump but they had some real cold beer 🍺 lol
Love your videos, I’ve got a 2011 Polaris 550 IQ shift just had a top end rebuild, only has 1700 miles
thanks! yeah that sucks to hear I always thought the 550's were great engine's 🍻
Iqs are just so r the fuzons . Iv hurd they have alot problems
At that milage I'd have a look at the jackshaft bearing. They have been using cheap bearings for the last few years.
Just scrap the pile of junk.. Im keeping my older stuff forever, no more overpriced new piles of crap.
Not a cheap bearing it's non greasable is what the problem is... 🙄
@@kdmigloosaid the skidoo owner.
It’s a good day when Pete posts 🤘.
lol thanks! 🍻
And yes my 2010 rmk is like that top shaft. But not that loose the wheels just float a little bit
man I aint laughed like that in a long ass time. you funny as all hell
🤣 cheers 🍻
Obviously that sled has been neglected. After breakin any sled should have the chain case oil changed.
Those 2 blocks on Botha sides have a set screw that are supposed to be pushed tight against that said bearing . An it’ll hold it tight . Ticky boo 😂
Love your channel Pete. I have learned a lot when I'm not laughing from your jokes. Where area is your location at. Keep up the awesome videos.
Excellent videos, really enjoy your content and the humorous side to your repairs, when you are doing an engine rebuild what make/brand of pistons would you recommend. Thanks again and keeps those videos coming
thank you! I appreciate the positive feedback and ya can't beat the wiseco pistons 🍻
Maintenence takes a whole new level my god
There is a direct plug in for heated helmet shields under dash I have same sled different color. Remove the cover above gas tank there is a cluster of wires for accessories
I recently bought a 21 polaris assault 850 146. I've only rode it once so far and it didn't blow up or break down so that's a win in my book.
lol Nice One! 🍻
They have a recall for the fuel line rubbing amd puting a hole in it id check it or take it in have them fix it.
On the Parts breakout on those upper bogie wheels it looks like the block with the set screw is suppose to push and be locked against a wave washer up against the inner bearing race. Bearing is 3514303
Polaris #.
100%
The Venom Industries , Team Tied secondary clutch is nice , I like mine
We put shim washers on our xcr 600's to take up that movement, but ours didn't seem to be that bad though.
Hey Pete.. I enjoy watching your video's. How do I get a couple of those sweet "She Dangles" decals for my sleds?? Time to represent down here in NY..
I gotta polaris been riding them all my life basically back and fort from polaris to yammi and the polaris is famous for loosing wheels underneath in short time. At least the ones I have had. And the one I have now blows oil out the exhaust like crazy lol. But she rips there's no doubt about that.
Love what your doing good times
thank you! 🍻
As you were talking about recalls, month back were at a local Polaris dealer talking to a saleman they kinda stuck with about 12 sleds spring order the buyers walk way as soon as they hear there another recall and sled going to be delayed for 2023 that hurts dealer for sure and there not the cheap ones at about $25000 each
yeah that sucks!! and the prices on them just keep going up..
That silver in the oil means the gears self clearanced right?...right?
How many Polaris 800cc engines blew up, most dealerships were back ordered topends for like months.
It is the same on my Khaos, upper wheels are loose just as on this machine and video, I have very low milage on my sled, guess this is quite common thing.
That was fun ! 😂,, What poor quality on that Polaris
What a pile. I'm an American and this is a testament to what happens when China has done the heavy lifting for decades. Our workforce has gotten way soft on the skilled craftsmanship. Used to be the other way around, not that long ago.
The skidoo backcountry top wheels are loose like that to atleast on the 2021. They have the same setup on top wheels with the collar with the set screw. I loosen the set screw and push the collar over against the wheel seam to take up the play. My 2022 the upper wheels are tighter but still have little play. But the skidoo's have the cmotion suspension where it tilts side to side.
You should check ur buddies backcountry top wheels.
Good tip!! thanks for the info, I'll have to check buddy's back country for sure!! 🍻
I live around 3 hrs from him and I really do think I need to brink my sled and atv its hard to find people that take pride in there work and he definitely does
Crazy that new of a sled and that's the quality in which factory makes them for 20k crazy my skidoo is nothing like that
The set screw make it not move over needs to be tightened play is normal on top shaft
So Pete I got a snow machine question for ya, would broken off drive lugs cause a clunking or knocking sound when the track is moving?? Been having this issue on my skidoo for a while and noticed today I had just about every drive lug broken off on one of the rows
yeah that could definitely cause a bit of an issue for sure! might be a good idea to change the track and have a good peekaboo at the undercarriage 🍻
Definitely a problem with those upper wheels on the skid, I checked the ones on my zr 8000 and they were tight. Cat rules have a good one
Lol cat rules sure that why there sales been going down last 5 years . Cat used to be great not anymore and I owned 7 cats sleds in my life time today I wouldn't touch s brand new cat
@@funtyes1970ummm that cuz skido sued rhem and rhey had to stop maken them for a year. Cats have best stuff now that yamaha quting building then witj car there be useing the motors in them
I’m thinking that was not serviced after the break in
Check your bearing internal clearance . 6004 2rs c3 has a lot of internal clearance these are designed for service in motors. Use bearings without the c3 nomenclature
Merry Christmas Pete
Merry Christmas 🍻
You should try and figure out how to do this on stage as a comedy act with all these one-liners. Take it on the road. Just don't forget to take the beer fridge.
Been a die hard skidoo guy my whole life for sleds and Yamaha for everything else but got a deal on a 19 8000rr Arctic cat crossing my fingers ..That low of miles on a polaris is disappointing wow 🤣
Awesome video ✌🏻
thanks! 🍻
Pete, Need your advice. We have a 2004 Yamaha Viper that refuses to idle properly. Tends to rev high on start up and when riding revs high when coming to a stop. Often have to hold the brake to keep her from getting away on us, she settles down to a normal idle after 30 seconds or so. If we turn the idle down it just stalls eventually. Carbs are squeaky clean. Any ideas? Thanks, Murray from Hanover.
kind of hard to say without actually seeing the sled but if it's idling high I'd be checking the free play in the throttle cable, the choke cable and plungers for proper operation and for air leaks causing a lean condition possibly 🤔 carb boots and crank seals...hope that helps 🍻
Paint a bass boat with that glitter.
lol Nice One! 🤣🍻
New to the channel, but I was curious sense you diffenatly know your snowmobiles. What brand sled would you recommend?? Or which you do you have?
thanks for following the channel! 🍻 I've always been a fan of yamaha's and arctic cats myself
no my wheels are tight on the shaft.something wrong there.great video.
thanks! 🍻
Used to call my old Indy a polarturd. 500km on a brand new crate engine all brand new internals blew up. Can't expect anything of quality from them
Entertaining as hell
lol thanks! 🍻
Pulled out one like this from the trail with my 2004 xc haha... it had a broken jackshaft... 2000km on it.... The secondary was moving a feet side to side... and the guy asked me if it was normal.... worst if it was fixable on trail side...haha best polaris are 2002-2005 !!!
🍻
Crazy used to have a storm never had an issue polaris is really fucking up
The chain tensioner is a plastic shoe. Need to remove and install the old school roller.
It amazes me how many people just ride these things and don’t do any maintenance, it’s evident from the chain case, belt deflection and plugs that he hasn’t touched it since he brought it home, how can you fault a manufacturer for that. As for the wheels, if you ride them in low snow or dirt that will happen, the bearing is harder than the shaft and it looked worn to me. Again 1800mi. and no maintenance.
yamaha owners 😆 They think everything is a yamaha
That deserves an Ata BOY! Good work sir. Cheers!
haha thanks! cheers 🍻
Hello Pete. I’m new to your channel and I’m enjoying it very much. I have a question and I’m hoping you can answer it. And that is, do you know what the voltage is from a generating coil? I have a 1996 Skidoo Formula 500 F/C and cannot find what the ACV should be,all that I can find is OHMS. Sure hope you can help. Thanks in advance. Karl. PS at this time I have no spark.
good day! and thanks for the support on the channel 🍻 honestly though I'm not too sure what the specs and proper voltage should be...I'd be in the same boat as you and be Google'n it to find out myself. all I could say is test stator for an open winding perhaps? no spark could be caused by a few things...stator kill switch, coil, cdi box...or even just bad wiring or loose grounds..hope that helps! 🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands Thank you for getting back to me. I have checked the key,thether and kill switches and all connections,all good. I have installed a new decuati CDI from Royal Distrubiting. I have been checking on the internet and all I can find is the OHMS,nothing about ACV. I thought that maybe you would have or know where I could get that information. Karl.
How can I add more horsepower to my 900 ace. Non turbo. Great fn channel
good one Pete
thanks! 🍻
If you put sled on its side turn skid 90 degrees to sled it comes out nicely
good tip! 🍻
My 900 rmk was the same way with the chain tightening. Such a giant pain in the ass to check the fluid level. Was always a big Yamaha fan and will probably go back to them after owning a Polaris.
Well 24 is the last yr for the yamacat
They pump out new models without service considerations. Our 2018 Outlander steering shaft bearings are ridiculous. They need grease all the time and 3hrs to get to them
Two best Polaris sleds were the 1979 TXL 340 and the 800 Indy Storm😎
All wedge polaris are good and edge chassie
I am looking at getting a sled after about 15 years, the new sleds scare me some. I am kind of leaning towards a used apex or something from the late 90's to mid 2000's that I can easily repair. The new sled prices are nuts.
Four stroke Yamaha motors are bullet proof. They are quite a bit heavier than 2 strokes but if your riding groomed trails weight isn't a problem. Saya me anyway.
@@ericoverdorff8880 I moved to southern Ontario about 6 years ago, mostly trail riding around here, not a lot of lakes where I live now. We really don't get a lot of snow. Sled would get used maybe 6-10 weeks out of the year. The apex seems to be the most bang for the buck. I can get a nice one for around $4500 coming from old early 90's sleds this would be a big upgrade to me. I was thinking a xc700 or a xcr800 or thundercat would be a lot of fun if I could find a nice one. I just want something snappy that has good top end.
@@davidbrennan5 stick with the apex. Yamaha's quality and control department was on their A game when they were making those sleds. The fit and finish is second to none and the motor will still be running strong,,, just about forever. The bush plane circle has been using those apex motors in their airplanes. They are unquestionably reliable and make HUGH! Horsepower numbers when boosted.
I am leaning that way. Stock hp should be plenty for this area. I could pick up 2 of them for 10k with a trailer. New sled would cost me over 20k, can't justify that for 10 weeks use per year. This area gets maybe 4-6 feet of snow max. I don't really need a light machine or a long track here.
can't beat an apex for quality and reliability!! great trail sled and hold their value!!! 🍻 not the easiest to work on but not the worst either lol
Nice One
I had 2000 srx and 99 vmaxx the skid on those were so thin rail thickness from the factory they were prone to crack just trail use come on Yamaha lol
I have a 2023 Indy and a 2022 Indy and Polaris fixed the 2023 before it was delivered and the fix is a stainless plate between the stator and the gas tank, so says my salesman. The 2022 looks identical except for the paint scheme and Polaris tells me that there is no recall on that sled. It will be interesting to see if the recall works.
The fix is replacing a few metal parts in the tank with plastic. Jesse James on RUclips had a video showing the fix kit.
@@BCJ371 thanks, I will see if I can find the video.
Polaris has seemed to have horrific problems ever since the POS Fusion came out. Ur hard on ski-doo's,, in my opinion Polaris has dropped the ball a wee bit more
Sir you are hilarious 😂.
Seriously, Polaris does suck!
haha thank you! 🤣🍻
Can you work on my sled ? It’s my first snowmobile and the motor just seized yesterday 1999 skidoo formula triple 700
Ps the std clearance bearings won’t do nothing for the upper supports wheels with skinny shafts
I have a 98 Indy 500 should be okay
Love The videos Pete. Awesome. Im in Northern Wis and In desperate need of a Carburator for a 1989 Actic Cat Eltigre EXT 530. I have one beyond repair. Might The Cat Shack bye you have one do they have a web site?
www.peterborocyclesalvage.com/
@@rednecksdirtyhands Thank you so much keep the videos coming
Interesting they routed the exhaust that close to the brake rotor. If that is a catalytic converter, that will be super hot and will heat soak the rotor. Can someone comment on this?
That was the muffler. An aftermarket one. There's no cats on a 2 stroke snowmobile
Your a piece of work alright
Well at least the owner didn't pay big money for that thing...
Saw a Polaris documentary on RUclips that said the Fusion broke sled sales records for Polaris and helped to save the company not ruin it. Still the Fusion has a bad rap. Maybe there were so many made that a lot of them were abused and blew up.
Wifes 2020 Polaris pro s 600 didn't come with any chain case oil from dealer went to change at 500 miles not a drop in it... come on Polaris!!!
wow! just wow!! so much for paying for freight and PDI eh! 🍻
True that!! Awesome channel bro... didn't have great snow here in NY so been watching snowmobile vids and you have great content!!
Crazy for the price they want for these wow
good vid
thank you! 🍻
Brother...I have a 2001 Cat 500 ATV ( rebranded King Quad) with the service manual and, live north of you...what's your shop and how can I give you my money🤑
Also I think old sleds are the way to go, if I can't pop the hood than I don't want anything to do with it🥴
Bigger hp numbers don’t matter , when your told don’t start it or else !
🤣👍 so hilarious 😂
lol thanks! 🤣🍻
Last year for big V8 engines , and Arctic Cat has no 800 motor , strange coincidence
Every mfg has a issue with ethanol based fuel, Only Polaris did a self announced recall. The other brands will be forced to do the same soon enough.
Looking for a new sled it won't be a polaris anymore
Every turbo , Queef , when you let off the gas ,
You should get your self a head mounted camera. It would make your life much easier.
not a bad idea right there! cheers 🍻
Where do I get a "she dangles sticker" my sled needs one! Cause she dangles! Lol
workin on getting them out soon! 🍻
They are all like that
Lol, learned something from watching this vid
🤣 cheers 🍻
They have been like that for years .
