Pretty sure that is a sarcastic post/comment at Zambroski......  

Ya, I realized that a while after I posted..... I don't post nearly enough to catch all the nuances lol

let me get this straight...

we can earn points here (?) and get them taken away for bad behavior - so as I understand the system @Zambroski has to get -17,512 points before he's banned?

that works... ???

note to self - check ban balance on a regular basis and coordinate the likelihood of getting hit with the ban hammer, then ease off the throttle gradually into spring.

 

The points you see attached to a persons account is more like a forum rating system. You accumulate or lose those points based on people liking or disliking what you post. 

The points that will get you a time out are different.

In comparison,  In March 2020 I bought my 2011 GSX 1200 for $3700.  January 2021 I bought a 2007 600 SDI for $3900.  It just doesn't make sense.

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.

The good part of that is people who know how to fix things can make a good living fixing stuff for people who don't. 

I made a few bucks over the last two afternoons doing some rear drums and a rear axle seal on a 2006 Silverado. 

I got the most ridiculous exhaust spring puller ever. Thing is like 3/8" thick!!

Merry Christmas!

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. 

Some hopes and dreams for this weekend's testing.

And here I am excited to see this.......

I really miss living in a lake effect area.

I'll still give you tree fiddy for your Axys? 

And I give you juanfiddy for your crossfire lmao

Here are my two units.

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

at your top speed are you still pulling the 8100rpm or is it dropping off? make absolutely sure the tiny pulse hole in the cylinder for your ev are clean.Very common for one to get plugged and that valve stop working..The 800 is supposed to pull 8150-8250 so I would start there.Of course check rollers in Primary clutch . You could gain a little by gearing down but you are runnin 1.91 gearing now which should be ok for a 144x2 track.. which track is it? I have had people put full lug tracks on and loose top end big time because the resistance the track created in the tunnel.

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

i'm not going to say that track and extension isn't pulling the sled down.  That's a lot of paddle to pull, but the fact you're losing 20mph is quite a bit. i still think there's something in your clutching that's not right.   If you wait, there's a lot of really smart people coming in that can help you out as well. 

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.

I also don't have the factory gears or spring. 

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

your getting the proper rpm so the spring is fine.  You aren't getting to the top of the sheave if that is your mark.  what is your belt to sheave clearance?  IIRC typically should be about .02 as it should grab the belt right at engagement RPM and not slam into engagement.  If it's greater the clutch will shift out but the belt doesn't make contact so by the time the weights are fully out, the belt is still trying to work it's way up but now can't fully shift out.  Also check to see if the belt is 1/8" above the secondary sheave at idle.  Another thing to check is the condition of your belt and that deflection is proper.  I don't have a manual for your sled but its should be around 1.25".  

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.
