Specific torque figures are engine-dependent but are critical for power delivery in snow conditions.
Fuel Delivery:
Could be carbureted (e.g., Mikuni or Keihin) or fuel-injected (EFI) depending on the specific Frontier model/engine option.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline
Ignition System:
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) or electronic ignition system
Length:
Varies by specific configuration, but generally within the 100-125 inch range for a 2-up touring model.
Dry Weight:
Varies by engine and features, typically in the 500-650 lb range for a touring model.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
The maximum permissible weight of the vehicle and its load, crucial for safe operation.
Design Standards:
Manufactured to meet industry safety standards for snowmobiles, including braking and handling characteristics.
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brake system, typically on the drive axle.
Throttle Control:
Thumb throttle with safety interlock mechanism.
Lighting:
Headlights, taillights, and brake lights for visibility.
Wind Protection:
Windshield designed to deflect snow and wind from the rider.
Oil Change:
Refer to manual for specific intervals based on mileage or operating hours, typically annual or every 100-150 hours for engine oil.
Clutch Inspection:
Regular inspection of primary and secondary clutches for wear, belt condition, and proper alignment is crucial for performance and longevity.
Track Tension:
Regular checks and adjustment of track tension are vital for optimal traction and to prevent damage to the track or suspension.
Engine Oil:
Specify Polaris-branded or equivalent synthetic 2-stroke or 4-stroke oil with appropriate API ratings and viscosity (e.g., 0W-40, 10W-30). Exact spec in manual.
Coolant:
Mixture of antifreeze and water (typically 50/50) with specific anti-corrosion additives for snowmobile cooling systems. Manual will specify type and capacity.
Chaincase Oil:
Specific gear oil or transmission fluid for the drive case. Manual will specify type and capacity (e.g., Polaris Chaincase Lube or equivalent).
Clutch Wear:
Common wear on clutch components (rollers, weights, bushings) can lead to poor performance and belt slippage.
Suspension Bushings:
Wear in suspension bushings and ball joints can cause looseness and affect handling.
Track Sprockets:
Wear on track drive sprockets can lead to premature track wear and loss of traction.
Cooling System Leaks:
Potential for leaks in hoses, radiator, or water pump seals, especially with age.
Polaris Legacy:
Polaris has a long history in snowmobile manufacturing, dating back to the 1950s, known for innovation and performance.
Frontier Lineage:
The Frontier line was part of Polaris's effort to offer versatile and comfortable snowmobiles for trail riding and touring.
Manufacturing Location:
Polaris snowmobiles are typically manufactured in the United States (e.g., Roseau, Minnesota).
