Engine Type:
Likely a Polaris Liberty two-stroke or four-stroke engine. Specific displacement and configuration depend on the exact Trail Touring sub-model (e.g., 500, 600cc twin).
Configuration:
Twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke (common for this era and model type). The manual will specify exact configurations.
Horsepower Range:
Estimated 90-120 HP, depending on engine displacement (e.g., 500cc, 600cc).
Torque Specifications:
Detailed torque specs for critical engine components like cylinder head bolts, main bearings, and flywheel nuts will be included.
System Type:

Fuel Type:
High-octane unleaded gasoline (91+ octane recommended).
Oil Mixing:
Typically a 50:1 ratio of 2-stroke oil to gasoline, or an Autolube (oil injection) system. Manual specifies exact procedure and oil type.
Type:
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) utilizing Polaris P85 primary clutch and P90 secondary clutch (or similar model designations for 2006).
Options:
N/A - CVT was standard for this model line.
Clutch Service:
Detailed procedures for primary and secondary clutch disassembly, cleaning, inspection, roller/weight service, spring replacement, and alignment.

Variable Exhaust System:
If equipped with VES (Variable Exhaust System), the manual will detail its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for optimal power delivery across the RPM range.
N/A:
Snowmobiles of this era typically did not feature advanced digital connectivity; focus is on mechanical and electrical systems.
Oil Change:
Recommended every 100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Exact interval provided in manual.
Clutch Inspection:
Recommended annually or every 1000 miles/100 hours for belt wear, clutch alignment, and roller condition.
Track Inspection:
Check track tension and alignment before each ride and periodically during the season.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Typically every 1-2 seasons or as per manual recommendations based on hours/mileage.
Engine Oil:
Polaris 2-stroke synthetic oil or an equivalent API-TC rated synthetic 2-stroke oil. Specific brand recommendations may be in the manual.
