Just picked up my 1997 xcr 600 last month and stored it in the back of my garage until winter, but i went to take a look at it today and noticed there was gas all over the floor even to the back of the sled. It wasn't leaking when i got it, as far as i know.

I washed down the belly pan to search for it, and it never showed back up, although the floor ended up covered in oil again. I finally saw oil dripping off the front of the track and have it traced back to the (what i believe to be) the low level oil sensor. It is towards the back of the snowmobile on the bottom side of the oil tank. My problem is....I cannot find this part on the parts manual....anyone know where to find it? It has 2 wires coming off of it if that helps. ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles mdbh86 http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51435-oil-sensor.html 1989 jag 340 trade for 1993 indy 500? http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51433-1989-jag-340-trade-1993-indy.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:52:16 GMT hi, i have a 1989 arctic cat jag 340 deluxe that i drove for the past few years, its a great little machine, engine was rebuilt 3 years ago, new... hi, i have a 1989 arctic cat jag 340 deluxe that i drove for the past few years, its a great little machine, engine was rebuilt 3 years ago, new absorber, and springs in rear suspension, new front skis and carbides, seat has a small rip, engine has no oil ijector, i mix 40:1, electric start, handwarmers ,and heated visor plug. thats about it for my jag, now the polaris:

I just need to know whether or not this is a decent sled. I've ridden an 05 600 Edge Touring and really liked it but Ive heard mixed opinions on the fan machines. It would be used primarily on trails at 7-8,000 feet elevation, but occasionally in deep snow as it is pretty hard to avoid powder out here. Also may see higher altitude at times. We won't be flogging this sled hard but may rarely run with some 700/800 RMKs.

I have a chance to purchase the Yamaha for $2300.00... mint condition with 1400 miles... Currently I have a 1997 polaris xlt touring with 2200 miles on it. Other then the xlt being bigger, is the Yammy worth the upgrade? I would have to sell my polaris in order to get the sxr. Not sure how Yammy compares to the xlt w/the xtr12 suspension. I do mostly groomed trail riding.. I understand one is double sled and other single, but in general, motor and suspension wise which sled is better? My xlt has the updated motor, so no crank troubles... How is the Yammy on gas? how are the suspensions? I used to have a 96vmax and it was the stiffest worse suspension ever LOL... the xtr 12 on the polaris blew the suspension away, how will the sxr compare to that vmax suspension? any info would be great........ Like i said the sxr is mint condition, only changes he made was to have it studded and added rises to the handlebars(which im not sure is good or not, but i can always remove)... with that said, my xlt is also mint condition..IM just wondering if the sx700r is worth me getting rid of my xlt... I dont ride double anymore, but i still dont mind the bigger xlt as its awsome on the groomed trails...I hate to trade the xta12 suspension for a bad suspension(im not sure how the sxr suspension was)once again, i do all trail riding.. no moguls or jumps. ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles yankeeslover http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51409-2001-sx700r-polaris-xlt.html 02 polaris xc 800 http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51407-02-polaris-xc-800-a.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:45:15 GMT im looking at an 02 cxc 800 and it looks pretty good but its blown up says needs jugs and piston, how accurate is this and what should i look for?... im looking at an 02 cxc 800 and it looks pretty good but its blown up says needs jugs and piston, how accurate is this and what should i look for? also if its worth it what am i looking at to fix her? thanks ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles xBiGxChieFx http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51407-02-polaris-xc-800-a.html RMK Project http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51402-rmk-project.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:13:36 GMT Well as some of you know I bought a 06 700 RMK and after digging into it I found many broken plastic parts, so I figured while I have time and with... Well as some of you know I bought a 06 700 RMK and after digging into it I found many broken plastic parts, so I figured while I have time and with the saved money on the purchase I'll just do an overhaul.

Let me know what you guys think and I'm still open to ideas. :D

2004 RMK Vertical Escape 700 Liberty engine.
I was reading on this model and most of them are labled Vertical Edge not Escape. I hear that this is a snow check model. Does anyone know what were the added upgrades to the Escape model. Also can you tell me how the sled is, its pros and cons on the sled? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have someone who wants to trade me this sled for my ZX 11 crotch rocket motorcycle.

Thing is i live in the prairies Manitoba which i just above the North Dakota border is there anything wrong with riding this sled outside the mountains or high altitude? Is it going to cause problems with the sled. I currently have a 2000 actic cat 500 powder special and want to go bigger and faster.
