Engine Type:
Likely a 2-stroke or 4-stroke liquid-cooled engine, common for Polaris snowmobiles of this era. Specific displacement and cylinder count would vary by sub-model. (e.g., a 500cc, 600cc, or 700cc engine)
Horsepower Range:
Typically 80-120+ HP, depending on engine size and tuning.
Torque Range:
Dependent on engine size and RPM range.
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (Mikuni VM series common) or Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) depending on the specific FS Touring variant.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, octane rating specified in manual (likely 87 or 89 octane).
Ignition System:
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) or electronic ignition with advanced timing control.
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled with radiator, coolant reservoir, and fan assist.
Oil Change:
Typically every 1,000-2,000 miles or annually, depending on usage. Specific interval for transmission/chaincase fluid change is also critical.
Spark Plugs:
Check and clean every 500-1000 miles, replace as needed based on wear.
Belt Inspection:
Inspect drive belt for wear, cracks, and proper tension at regular intervals (e.g., every 500 miles).
Engine Oil:
Specific viscosity and type (e.g., API-certified 2-stroke oil injected into fuel or sump for 4-stroke) as per Polaris specifications.
Coolant:
Antifreeze coolant mixture (e.g., 50/50 ethylene glycol and distilled water) meeting specific Polaris coolant requirements.
Chaincase Fluid:
Specialized gear oil, often SAE 80W-90 or a specific Polaris-branded lubricant.
Drive Belt:
Premature wear or breakage of the CVT drive belt can occur with improper usage, overloading, or worn clutches.
Clutch Alignment:
Misalignment of primary and secondary clutches can lead to belt slippage and premature wear.
Cooling System:
Overheating due to low coolant levels, blocked radiators, or faulty water pump.
Carburetor Issues:
Carburetor gumming or jetting issues if fuel is left in the system for extended periods without stabilization.
