Apex ER Man · 12-22-2005, 10:33 PM

Don't know that the gauges are accurate,my buddy had a GPS along today and said his gauge was 12 mph fast. But they are fast though!

TTdskann · 12-22-2005, 10:35 PM

Apex ER Man · 12-22-2005, 10:40 PM

I could have told you that,Polaris I think doesn't know what they are doing anymore,my Fusion last year was PITTIFUL!

Are the RX1's 150 hp?

Apex ER Man · 12-25-2005, 10:20 PM

The Apex's are 150hp,RX1's were a bit less.

anyone put an remote car starter on one of those, that would be sweet, getin all geared up in a warm house and geting on the warmed sled and goin

mx and sled 41 · 12-27-2005, 11:30 PM

thats why i go outside, pull my sled over once, start it up, go back inside, put all my stuff on, then i can go outside to an already wamed sled.

cowlamb · 12-29-2005, 04:03 PM

can`t you start a 2 stroke sled (with command start if it has electic start)and leave it idling while you get your gear on??

**RJ Gleason** · 12-29-2005, 04:38 PM

some of the the new Sabercat's have that available.

cowlamb · 12-29-2005, 04:44 PM

oic

i thought they were saying that you could only do that on on a 4 stroke and was wondering why

TheSock · 12-30-2005, 12:53 PM

You guys are funny... warming up the sled for me consists of going out, pulling the starter a few times when it connects (as sometimes the recoil doesn't connect), and warming up the engine by playing with the throttle. Having a new sled must be fun

Kryzbn1 · 12-30-2005, 03:25 PM

Thats awesome. I wish I could ride one so bad. How much faster are they than the SRX 700 Tripples? That is one of my favorite sleds but Iv never had the chance to ride that either. I remember when those srx's came out though nobody could beat them in the races around here especially those pusycats.

lol my sleds only 6 years newer than yours, and it starts up first pull and idles fine, even my 1980 arctic cat did.... maybe cuz you ride a yamaha lol j/k man but seriously.. your sled should idle fine from cold...

**RJ Gleason** · 01-03-2006, 10:49 AM

with a liquid cooled engine, you need to let it warm up or you will be replacing pistons frequently due to "skirting". The ollerences are much closer between piston and cylinder are much closer than in a fan or free-air cooled engine. If you don't let it warm up, the piston expands too fast and tears itself apart ( Skirting: the lower half of the piston (skirt) is destroyed ). When this happens, you will have still have compression on that cylinder, but it will not get fuel to run and will eventually seise due to lacl of lubrication.

Was that 138 k.p.h.?
