You really know your shit dude...seeing what u start with then how nice u fix them up...incredible..amazing how u can take and engine completely apart and do a full rebuild crank and all from scratch....u have serious determination bro..
20 years ago I broke my arm ditch banging a 99 polaris xcsp 600 haha. I haven't rode since. However this year I'm picking up a used 21 polaris assault 850.
Both are winners in my book! Big block torque driving monsters. I had a all stock 97 700SKS studded and hasn't been beat till I my cousin got an Arctic Cat 1000 😁 They have the top end but I will always own the LowEnd But they both still are extremely fast scary fast Good job!
It really does! Back in the day I ran a HTG twin piped 97’ sks 700 at our radar runs. Good times. Riding these old sleds brings back lots of old memories for sure!
@@AKproXR I remember coming around a corner in winter of 98 and seeing one of those XC 700s for the first time. I wanted one in the worst way. My nephew just bought one last summer, he watches your videos. Keep making them, fun to watch!
You hit the nail on the head with your prediction! Lol. I have a 06 fusion 600, runs well for what it is but best part is it's been as reliable as a hammer!💪💪💪 The twins on your 700 does sound good!
Just picked up an 03 edge that has the 700 in it, kinda boggy down low but once it gets going it hauls ass. Probably need to check jets and tune carbs.
An XC 700 is one of my dream sleds, but I keep hearing that the Edge XC 600 VES motor sled was stupid fast. Another dream sled is a 2003 XCR 800 triple triple
@@joerutkowsky3261 yes your right lakes its not specified for the most part. Unless your on a trail on the lake, I was more talking overall and didnt want to list out exceptions. Here is what the gov says Snowmobiles may not be operated at a greater rate of speed than: 50 km/h - on snowmobile trails 50 km/h - on roads where the speed limit is over 50 km/h 20 km/h - on roads where the speed limit is 50 km/h or less 20 km/h - in any public park or exhibition grounds
@@lukew4955 ok but in your original post you made it sound as if there is a speed limit everywhere in Ontario. And there is no posted speed limit on the lakes trail or not. I was just pointing out to our American friends that is not the case.
Both really nice sleds! Just acquired a very good condition 99 XC 500 all stock. Looking for mods to add and like the handlebars and sound of your 700!
I have a 2015 polaris assault. I was wondering at what temp do you start worrying? Everyone seems to have a different opinion. Haven't had much snow here in minnesota. Itching bad...thanks. enjoying the vids.
you know she’s running perfect when she stumbles like that occasionally don’t screw with nothing mines done that from day one just let off the throttle and hit her hard again hold on I have the overdrive helix I will hit 125 on a dream meter and I have video to back it from back in the day. when the next year 99 800 xc Polaris came out I used to eat them right up. and I used to walk all over the 99XC 600 just like you did.
Hey man quick question..your the man when it comes to xcs..what's the best way to burp my coolant? Just get it warm and crack open the breather on the top of the motor? Should I park it on a hill with the cap open or closed? Just want to be safe
I run my sled on a snow berm to elevate the front end way up. I like to leave my coolant bottle open and run it that way to let any air out. Add coolant as needed. Hasn’t failed me yet.
Not an older one, but I have raced newer/faster 600 small blocks. Lined up on ice on the 700 with a new xcr 600 that was setup for ice racing. The 700 won, but burned down at the end of the pull due what I later found was a cracked fuel filter that caused it to lean out. There’s a video on that race from last winter.
bet ill bring my rmk 700 year 2000 with a aftermarket cluch and new shocks and a new carb set up and to top it off new handlebar riser and im in willow btw
I been having trouble like lag when I go from fully stopped to full throttle. On the non ves 600 takeoff, after a little bit it kicks in and pulls hard after that. Not sure if too rich or reed pedals not opening up etc.
I run an 02 600VES and will keep it until I can't ride anymore. I think you need to do a clean out on that old girl and she will be a rocket again. I say the carbs need some minor love and should be a fairly simple job that costs little to nothing as long as the seals and gaskets aren't too buggered up.
@@coryernewein thx bud. They are clean and I am in the arctic circle NWT canada pretty much sea level. Carbs clean, Needle is in stock position, 1 1/4 turns out on the keihins, idle is at 1500-1700. Been told they have been known for that little burp at takeoff and maybe im just expecting more idk.
@@wallacenaaz5132 I have mikuni carb, not much experience with the keihin stuff. Does it do it regardless of temp? I live in northern Ontario and if it's around freezing and I ran the bag off for a while it will give me issues I suppose. Usually I just burp the throttle on take off and never look back in those situations. When it's cold I never have an issue...knock on wood lol.
Seeing as the carbs are clean I am guessing you cleaned the exhaust valves already? I know they don't open up until higher RPM's but if they are gummy than you may want to check out the reeds. Also how are your clutches? They may be slow to slide open and closed, they may need more RPMs to get their act together so to speak.. I know, I know, I am shooting off alot of questions. I am just trying to get an idea of your machine.
@@coryernewein yea maybe thats the prob..the clutches causing slow engagement. But yea can be that, like ill rev up a bit to get it together and it takes off after that. Love the thing tho :)
Can't compare 600 to the big bores they are quick.my 2000 mxz 700 tops out at 105 stock. My old 98 zrt 600 actually faster on a long lake.that hit 115.gearing difference..
In 98 they had two cylinders depending when the sled was built, 220’s which ran a lower rpm pulled real hard mid range which worked well in short drag races. Later ones had 824’s which ran a higher rpm and higher peak power but less grunt out of the hole.
Nice. Just something about the way that white windshield and the hood looks so sweet.
Thinking of switching mine to a white one, and the whole gauge cluster to white
Yup totally agree

Xc 700 for the win, rocketship
Love my old 700
Hell yeah! That 700 is quick when she kicks in! But damn that 600 is beautiful 😍
Why is my adrenaline PUMPING when the 700 did the flyby.
Both are winners in my book! Big block torque driving monsters. I had a all stock 97 700SKS studded and hasn't been beat till I my cousin got an Arctic Cat 1000 😁
They have the top end but I will always own the LowEnd
But they both still are extremely fast scary fast
Good job!
Kinda like no prep drag racing with sleds, I love it haha
Those pipes sound like angels singing🤩
That fly by shot...dude that was the shit! Oh and that 700 is fucking fast haha
Love the fly by. Can't wait to see the pro xr n 700. Thats going to be a good 1
That 700 during fly by brings back memories of the old radar runs. Sweet sound!

I’d about kill for LRM pipes
@@AKproXR no flanges sadly, gonna maybe do a drag sled on day with a psi head, but finding a psi cover is non existent
Great video, that 700 is rad.

Could be carbs, ves, clutches etc.
Looking good love the XC 700. Keep the videos coming.
late 90's sleds look the best IMO that 600 is clean.
that 700 rips love the 90s polaris sleds
great video those old sleds rock
Badass sled, great videos
Love the videos!!! Keep em coming!
Nice job Hoonigan 700!!
Would like to see an Edge XC 600 VES vs that XC 700.
Seeing as I just built a edge 600, it’s likely to happen. I will say this though, 600 ves is going to get left in that 700’s dust!
An XC 700 is one of my dream sleds, but I keep hearing that the Edge XC 600 VES motor sled was stupid fast. Another dream sled is a 2003 XCR 800 triple triple
I'd just like to say the speed limit for sleds in my area (Ontario) is a maximum of 31 mph or 50kph
I’m sorry
@@AKproXR ya it’s sad, but the speed limit of my sled is zero at the moment cuz she broke.

Like they say there is no replacement for displacement.
I have the same 600. Cool vid
Damn that 700 is a rocket ship.... I wonder how my triple xlt 650 would have stacked up
I raced a xc700 with my 98 xlt limited on an u.p. lake and got smoked bad. Lol

My assaults always ran at 125~
I had it out on minimal snow today and it got to 135 which I think is fine. Just wondering how far you would push it.
@@cnmn9493 that’s safe. I can’t remember, temp light comes on around 180 if I remember correctly

6 black. Not sure maybe around 30-45 min or so per battery.
@@AKproXR ah, no housing? Mine dies fast in colder weather unless i have a housing.
Damn I would run ya with my etech 600 see what would happen to bad ur like 1000 miles away haha that lake looks awesome to do runs on
Be cool if you had the phone GPS for speed as well. Nice Job
Even better would be GoPro with GPS
Have you run against a small block 600?

bring that thing to wisconsin my f7 will teach you the meaning of life! LOL HAVE A GOOD ONE
Oh I’m sure it would. Just like the F7’s did to my old SBA 800.... not. Lol there fast back in the day but F7’s weren’t gods gift to man.
I think my 700 once the jetting is dialed would be a really good race with a F7. Come down to setup and who has more traction is bet.
Ten four that yea it sounded a little fat . I had that exact sled was there something with th cylinders on those? B CYLINDERS IS THE ONE i HAD
In 98 they had two cylinders depending when the sled was built, 220’s which ran a lower rpm pulled real hard mid range which worked well in short drag races. Later ones had 824’s which ran a higher rpm and higher peak power but less grunt out of the hole.
Why don't you throw a snowball for when to go??? When the snow ball hits the ground is when you take off
Makes it more fun to give them the hit and chase them down.
