AKIQPilot Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The tips are a little chipped. Can you see light through the reeds if you look from the inside out? That bit of dirt/grime will wash right off. If you don't see daylight when looking through them the little chips are no big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just looked, I can not see any light through the reeds where they sit. Those little chips are only on the one side. How would one go about cleaning them? First time ever having reeds in my hands lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just want to get all the black stuff on the inside of the reeds off. IF it's stuck on there good then thats fine too. You just don't want loose goo on the reed pedal to dislodge and go through the motor. Probably wouldn't hurt that much even if it did. Don't get too agressive with wiping them down with a cloth or paper towel. Just Carb or MAF or Throttle Body cleaner will work good. You need to clean the throttle bodies up good too, the inside especially. Edited October 4, 2018 by AKIQPilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them chipped and worn in the pic. Any Polaris CFI reeds will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 BTW Im guessing that your shit is all sooty and oiled up because your leaky throttle body boot was causing the engine to be lean and the ECU was dumping fuel and pulling timing to save it. Mine did that shit when the boot seperated. Fouled 2 plugs before it stuck the piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Also BTW, Brake Clean doesnt hurt Aluminum. There is pores in the sheaves from the factory. Brake clean melts the rubber on the sheaves from the belt. That melted rubber gets in the pores. If you are drag racing competitively, then it "might" be an issue. Otherwise you'll never notice it.

Tomas. Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thanks legend, I was typing out a message on why and you answered it before I could post lmao. I will call around tomorrow for pedal replacements. Hopefully they aren't retarded on price. If I don't have any luck, Tom says I should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V force was my first thought as well. But I don't feel like spending $350 on something that isn't worth it. On a side note, this us-cad exchange rate sucks ass lol. v force tend to chip tips pretty fast. run em on a turbo they won't make 100mi . I will usually just toss in Boysen peddles on stock cages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody else on snowest has issues with them either. They might have been crappy back in the day, but they are stout as hell now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lightly chipped on a couple of pedals. He says he can't see light through them. He's on a budget. I say run them for as little as he is gonna ride this year.

Or they may chip more on Dec 26, the day before he's supposed to go on a trip somewhere. Now the sled runs like dogshit and he cant get reeds before he leaves at 6 am. Or he can replace those things and not worry about it for the life of the sled. I know people have budgets, but he's got 3 months before the good snow flies.

Zambroski Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yeah...I tend to agree with just replacing them. The labor is done, why put back the “questionable” pedals to maybe have to go through it all again this season..or next? F that. ’course, I’m also not familiar with this sled so, maybe it’s quick and easy pulling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm going to commit to the process, unless what I find is just about new, I'm replacing. I've got boxes and shelves of parts that are still too good to throw away...but I'll never use. I give most away as buddies need them. But, gonna start tossing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
