    I have a 1990 Polaris Indy 500. It was the sled I rode as a kid and was gifted it by my dad. It has sat for 6 years so I cleaned the carbs and replaced the fuel lines and tried to start it. But it wouldn't fire so I got a compression tester and found the compression to be around 60psi in each...

    Hi all this is a lengthy one but may helpful to some, I have a stock 91 Indy Lite 340. Sled needed a few things when I picked up, rebuilt the top end (had low compression), cleaned and synced carbs, and new plugs. Sprayed gas at crank seal and did not appear to leak (it did not rev up) “I will...

    Hi, a buddy of mine has a 600 Indy XLT tripple from 94 that eats through belts after just a couple of miles. I looked at the primary clutch and noticed something sticking out down in the middle, it's a bit hard to explain but i'll attatch some pictures of the clutch and what is happening to the...

    I've been searching the web for a maintenance/repair manual for my recently purchased 'project', a 1991 Polaris Indy Sport. (440 non-gt) I can't seem to find a free download, but I don't mind paying for a manual either as long as its really worth the money. There seems to be a variety...

    I have a 2019 Indy Evo 550 ES put it away no problems. Start it up this season and my display panel is flashing on and off and the sled has NO RPMs I could barely get it off the trailer into the garage. I replaced the battery. When the panel flashes the battery light also lights up red...

    Considering snow checking a new sled this year. looking for some insight on what model/ packages / features to order with the new sled. Currently on a 2009 Polaris dragon 600 129 w/ i believe a 1.25 un-studded track. these new sleds are definitely more expensive then my current sled. I ride...

    Hi I have a 2014 polaris 550f adventure 3400miles, sled runs perfect but the running lights aren't working, electric start only works when I try to start it right after I kill it, and rpm's on dash drop down to 150rpm when I give it gas and then the dash cuts out and restarts again. But when I...

    Anyone have or know where I can find a coolant neck gasket for a 94 xlt? I believe it should be part number 3083340. The only place I can find it is with an entire top end gasket set and really only need the one gasket. Thanks.

    So i’ve been working on this sled for awhile now. I cleaned the carbs and fixed all fluid lines and it ran very well. I went home for break and came back and it won’t start. I replaced a bad spark plug boot and both spark plugs. I also tested the plugs with a tester to make sure it was getting...

    Hey guys I have a 1994 XLT and when I went to start it up this year it was idling at about 4000 rpm, so I decided it probably needed a tune up with a new carb kit and flanges. When I was taking the carbs off I noticed a yellow substance on one of the cylinder walls. Is this normal? If not what...

    Hi all, Since I'm back into the sport this year with a 25 year old sled, on top of just repairs I knew I'd have to take on, I want to make sure any preventative pre-season maintenance is done. So far I've: Replaced the hyfax and inspected all idler wheels and replaced every bearing in the...

    I’ve posted about this sled a few different times when i’ve run into different problems. My last problem was fuel delivery. I found out the fuel shutoff valve was clogged and when I took that out and ran a direct fuel line and blew into the tank to pressurize the lines and it started after a few...

    So I recently bought an Indy 400. I have hooked up all tubing and I put oil and bled the oil pump. I put in coolant and propped up the front end to try and burp it. I was gonna start it to burp it some more to get rid of air bubbles but I'm not getting fuel. I checked the tank to make sure the...

    Hey guys, I have a 1994 xlt 580 and I am debating doing a rebuild now or next year. The sled runs good and usually starts in about 2-3 pulls but it's starting to take about 5 or 6 pulls to start. All the cylinder are withing 3 psi but they are only around 95 cold and 100 warm. I was debating...

    Hi there! I’m new to this forum! I recently bought a Polaris Indy 400 and i’m currently trying to fix it up. I was hoping someone somewhere would know where to find a repair manual for fluids and engine mechanics? I’ve looked online and can’t find anything on it. I was curious about the type of...

    Hey guys I just bought a 1999 Indy xc 700 to fix up and when I was going to pull the carbs out I saw this PVC pipe thing above the carbs and I have no idea what is is or what it does. I have never worked on a xc and was wondering if anyone knew anything about what it is or what it does. It is...

    Hey, I have a 1994 Indy 580 sks and was wondering what is the best way if any to convert it to a 144? I was thinking an Xtra-10 with extension rails but have heard or some other ways of doing it also. With this conversation also what would I have to do for gearing?
