At least that's my experience. I have found those 6004's are good for about 2 seasons and then you should change them. that is one thing skidoo does right. They use bigger bearings and seals on the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us guys getting older the longer tracks are just better all around 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I dunno .. those "spoked" wheels Polaris uses (or used) on the Rush/Switchback models seemed to be junk as a whole. They definitely don't hold up well if the track is studded as the rubber chunks out of them. And no, it's not because of the stud pattern because replacing them with the solid bogeys solved the issue. I do agree the bearing quality could be better, but the stock bogey wheels with that spoke design are not great. The point about the Rush style models lacking storage is another issue, and one of the main reasons I went with the Assault in 2018. We had a couple saddlebag rides where I needed something legit to store my stuff & the Rush style just didn't have a good solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use bigger bearings and seals on the wheels. I go through every single bearing in the 2000-2500 mile range. Putting usually 5000+ per season, I may replace 1 or 2. Sometimes I just replace a group of 4 (Front 4, middle 4, or rear 4) all at the same time, just for Peace of Mind (That old Iron Maiden album!) that they are all on the same maintenance schedule.

I suppose it depends more on how often they thaw out and then the rust and corrosion sets in. They just dont hold up like the bigger bearings I had in my skidoos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup , it’s not as plush as an rmotion but it has other aspects that make it better. My favorite rear skid without doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
