I think mine was like 28 lbs when I weighed it all after removal. I can’t remember exactly though. It’s a significant savings. But Meh….I could strap a 100 extra pounds on your rig and you wouldn’t know the difference. You are a “real rider”. I hurt your feelings. I'll try and talk less hurtfully. 👍 Edited December 23, 2021 by awful knawful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the same people who buy a 3” x 163 mountain sled to ride in 2” of snow in a corn field in Illinois. Didn't know you rode Illinois. You sound rather bothered that they are chewing up your pow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomxz600 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 One of the extras in 2016 on a MXZ 600 carb spring check was a pull starter. Its amazing how people would come back into the shop after they bought the sled bitching they didn't get a pull starter after they got it home, what you couldn't look down past your beer belly and see it wasn't there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Jackson Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 IDK, the once or twice that I had to wrap the e rope around a TRA it pulled way easier than a recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 As a kid I became a master recoil rope replacer on our skidont's. I could and did replace them in the dark more than once and used to carry a chunk of rope in my coat pocket for the clutch start. I'll give Polaris a big tip of the hat by giving snow checkers the CHOICE of rope start or estart. No other company does. Eos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I still laugh at some of the so called "hardcore" guys that are so anti-electric start. "OHS NOES!!! THE WEIGHT!!" Hey Einstein - It's the equivalent to roughly 4 gallons of fuel. What do those clowns do, fill their gas tank up to HALF when they're at the pump? I mean, it's all about saving weight!!

Doug Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 LOL. The 200+# guy takes electric start off and puts a can on to save weight. How many feel the difference on how they're sled handles from a full tank of gas to a 1/4 tank. That's a difference of about 40# right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Why do some of you hate the sledders that want lighter weight because they like active, performance riding? Yes, many I know don’t fill their tanks to the top….because yes, you can actually feel that extra 40 lbs. and yes, some drop estart and heavy suitcase silencers because yes, you can actually feel the fucking 40 lbs. So, right off the bat, you boys are 80lbs heavier than the ones wanting to be a bit more light and nimble out there. But hey, maybe you are superior riders that can handle the extra weight and keep up. Here’s a way to tell: Do you have more than one layer under your coat? Yes? No, you aren’t. No? You probably still aren’t. My goodness. I can almost hear you all at your burger holes drinking bud light complaining about the riders out there “riding like it’s their own personal racetrack! Our pace is good enough! Everybody should ride like we do!!!!” Drink up! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
