My neighbor bought a 2004 renegade 600sdi, 2007 renegade 600sdi on a open deck two place trailer for $7000 cad this summer from someone he knows. Got a killer deal then, an unbelievable deal now lol. -

Guys in Alberta care selling 90's two up touring sleds for $3000-$4000 cad. And when someone comments saying it is over priced to help someone who has no clue out, they get dog piled by people saying it is a totally fair and acceptable price. Market is insane. I am glad I bought my sleds two years ago but it is tempting to see what I can get for my 08 d7 switchback and 07 crossfire 600. Both of which are in really good shape lol. -
I made a few bucks over the last two afternoons doing some rear drums and a rear axle seal on a 2006 Silverado.

2008 Polaris 700 Switchback low top speed
Tomas. replied to Tomas.'s topic in General Snowmobile Forum
So I probably shouldn't have been out testing as we definitely don't have the conditions for it. But I did it anyways lol. So with the black/pink 120/340 spring which is factory rates added an extra 5 mph, bringing the max up to 73 mph. My rpms are maxing out at 7850 with the 64g weights. So I think my next step is to put the 62g weights back in to see if that brings my rpms back up to the 8200 mark. I also think that the sheaves moved closer together as well. I don't know if that is because if the spring or not. Also the 120/340 spring is shorter than the 150/340 spring. I don't know if that is because the spring rate is different or not. -

Just took an air compressor to the holes in the cylinder and the was no obstruction. I used my mouth and double checked the exhaust valves where the hose goes on and they are free of obstruction as well. -

So I pulled my valves out and I see the two holes (one on each cylinder). I used a nail and I was able to put it in the hole at least an inch before it hit a stop like the casting. They were empty. Primary sheave move free with the cover off. The sheaves touch together no hang ups -

The track just says cross country on it. Those little holes in the valves are clean. And the video I posted was when I had a ultimax XS belt on. Right after that video was taken, I switched to the brand new polaris belt (115) and I hit 8200 rpm. It doesn't drop rpms. Seems to hold constant. Also, it is the 700 not the 800. But you are correct, it should be at 8200 -

Yes. Those marker marks are showing belt height. I just put a stock rate slp spring on order. Should have it by Monday. The sled was already converted to a 144 when I bought it. All the guy used for the conversation is slp rail extensions and dropped one tooth on the top Gear. -

For belt to sheave clearance, if I am measuring correctly I think it is around 0.02-0.03 -

The belt is a brand new polaris 115 with just testing in a field by my house. The belt sits just above the secondary. Does not slam into engagement. -

I don't have the tools to pull off the spider. But when I have the cover off, the rollers appear to be in good shape, weights are new with no slop, buttons seem decent and the sheave seems to move without restriction.
