Horsepower Range:
Estimated 70-120 HP depending on displacement and specific model tune (based on typical Polaris 2-stroke engines of this era).
Torque Figures:
Specific torque figures for engine components will be detailed in the manual.
Carburetion:
Typically Mikuni or Keihin carburetors (specific models and sizes vary).
Fuel Type:
91-octane unleaded gasoline (minimum, check specific model for recommendations).
Oil Type:
2-stroke synthetic blend or full synthetic oil, premix or oil injection system (specifics vary by model).
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled (most performance-oriented models) or fan-cooled (utility/base models).
Drive System:
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Polaris P-85/P-90 primary clutch and P-82/M-28 secondary clutch (typical configurations).
Reverse:
Available on certain models (e.g., utility variants).
Clutch Calibration:
Detailed information on clutch calibration, weights, springs, and helix angles for optimal performance and engagement is typically included in such manuals.
Gear Ratios:
While CVT doesn't have fixed gear ratios, the manual will cover clutching ratios and engagement/shift points.
General Layout:
Typical snowmobile chassis with front engine, rider-forward seating, and track system.
Dry Weight:
Varies significantly by model, typically ranging from 400-600 lbs (180-270 kg).
Wet Weight:
Includes fluids, rider, and accessories, significantly higher than dry weight.
Gauges:
Digital and analog gauge clusters typically include speedometer, tachometer, engine temperature (on liquid-cooled models), fuel level, and indicator lights for oil, battery, and check engine.
Lighting:
Halogen headlights and taillights for visibility.
Diagnostic Ports:
While not explicitly stated, diagnostic capabilities for electronic control units (if present) would be detailed in the electrical section.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Typically every 1,000-2,000 miles or annually, depending on usage and plug type. Manual will specify exact interval and part number.
Clutch Inspection:
Regular inspection of clutch sheaves, belts, and springs is crucial, especially before and during riding season.
Drive Belt Inspection:
Inspect drive belt for wear, cracks, and glazing at regular intervals (e.g., every 500 miles or annually).
Engine Top End Rebuild:
Intervals for piston, ring, and cylinder inspection/rebuild will be provided based on mileage or hours of operation.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze coolant (typically a 50/50 mixture with distilled water) for liquid-cooled models. Specific type and capacity in manual.
Gearcase Oil Type:
Specific gearcase oil, often a SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear lubricant or Polaris-specific fluid. Capacity and part number in manual.
2 Stroke Oil Specification:
Specific type and brand recommendations for 2-stroke oil (e.g., Polaris VES Silver, Gold, etc.) will be detailed.
Typical 2 Stroke Concerns:
Carburetor tuning and cleaning, drive belt wear, reed valve inspection, exhaust system maintenance, and proper oil/fuel mixture are common areas for 2-stroke snowmobiles.
Clutch Belt Slippage:
Can be caused by worn clutch components, incorrect belt deflection, or a worn drive belt.
Overheating:
Can occur due to low coolant levels, blocked cooling fins, or faulty water pump on liquid-cooled models.
Polarishistory:
Polaris Industries, founded in 1954, is a long-standing and prominent manufacturer in the powersports industry, known for innovation in snowmobiles, ATVs, and other recreational vehicles.
2007 Lineup:
