    1994 Polaris 580 XLT SKS Hi, so I have a 1994 Polaris 580 XLT SKS. This sled ran well and started easy. This is my first season with snowmobiles. About 75 miles into my ride, (Spread out of 3 days) It bogged down and made a louder noise (It didn't really move unless the sled was already moving...

    For the past year or so I’ve been working on a good size project of motor swapping an xlt with an xcr triple triple motor. The sled is a 1999 xlt special with a 96 xcr 600 triple triple in it. The sled is just about done besides some finishing touches but I was thinking today about the cooling...

    I have a 1995 Polaris Indy xlt 580 special, and it doesn't make any low end power, and seems to only run on one or two cylinders until I hit 20 or 30 mph, and then all three cylinders kick in. I have tried everything I can think of with the carbs, and I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone had...

    I just want to know if the xcr 600(monoblock triple) in the mid-late 90’s had triple pipes as a stock factory option. If so, I’m looking into getting a set for my xlt. If not, I’m considering getting an aftermarket can for it. I plan on staying away from aftermarket pipes though. And also...

    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...

    In a previous post I had asked about lights dying on me, which turned out to be the voltage regulator. Replaced tonight and it's working 100%. I also started replacing a broken temp gauge and fixed the rear hand warmers on the sled tonight. Very productive day! I did however notice that 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...

    Hello, I would like an idea on what is wrong with my sled. The coolant in the reservoir bubbles and the coolant in my water jacket dissapears after riding it thru powder for less than 5 minutes.Things I already did coolant is at the max line and it stays there, filled up the waterjacket with...

    I have a 96 xcr and a 94 xlt and the belt is loose on both of them. They both have a little bit of a low end bog but once you get going they take off. There the little circle plate on the secondary that has 3 bolts and 1-5 marked. I’ve put that at both extremes and the belts are still both...

    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?

    I have a 1994 Indy 600 Xlt sks and it has almost 6k miles and getting low compression on all cylinders. Cylinder #1 is 93, #2 95, #3 94. I am thinking about doing a rebuild but should I just do rings, or full top end kit, or while it's all apart do all bearings, seals, and everything. What is...
