      I bought a badass Rev 800 with minor electrical issues for 900$ with a fresh motor. It was an acquaintance of mine but we started at 1100, he had 900 into the motor which we settled on... I build my own motors so I was blown away he had that much into it!!!

    This message is for Steve: The 06 600 wakes up and response well to advancing the timing to 28 degrees. Also think about 400 mains and maybe reduce pilot jet or raise clip on needle. Run 62 grams weight in cluth that has been balanced. I had this same sled but the RMK version. It rean very good and handled well also. Just for reference I had an 2003 REV 440X before the 06 RMK. I would say the IQ Polaris is a great balance between rider forward and the old edge. Great sled.

    Big piece of advice for you guys who bought triple's. When it's actually time for the outdoor adventure, on the cold start. Do NOT touch the throttle until they get some heat built up in the engine. Especially the thundercat. They'll foul the spark plugs fast if you fire it up and crack the throttle immediately.

    • @davidbrennan5
      @davidbrennan5 7 місяців тому +1

      I agree, 5 minutes warm up minimum should be done and then take it easy until the pipes get some heat into them before honking on it.

  • @jonl2938
    @jonl2938 7 місяців тому +10

    With the T-Cat and Mach Z in the group we need a really long top speed run - 1 mile on the lake. Don’t think either sled can knock off the F7s in a sprint due to traction.
    Stoked for every single sled, except that 600 Polaris (always found the IQs ugly).
    We’re already getting snow here in Northern Ontario, hope it hits soon for you guys too.

  • @mainenorthwoodshunter3265

    I am a disabled snowmobile rider here in Maine. I really enjoyed your $1000 snowmobile challenge last year and this year the $1500 looks like it may even be better. Can't wait for more videos to come. I ride at this time a 2007 Yamaha Attak 1000 cc 4 stroke. It is a good sled but I would eventually like to get into a newer model with the driver-forward style. I think it would be far better on my back. I have metal rods in my back and right femur from a motorcycle accident in 1990. Keep them coming guys.

    • @davidbrennan5
      @davidbrennan5 7 місяців тому +2

      I have a bad back and I can relate, my BIL has a Yamaha sled like yours with 1000. Good sled for trail riding and putting on a lot of miles but it won't handle like a newer sled. Suspension left a lot to be desired for me. I found it to be heavy and hard to lift at times. I switched from Polaris to Skidoo because of the advantages of the rider forward design. look for a lighter model with good shocks and get them rebuilt every 2 years. Going from a heavy mid 90's Polaris to a 03 Rev with piggy-back shocks was 10 x easier on my body. My Rev performs better than the Yamaha in every way except top speed and fuel consumption. The Yamaha is more reliable and doesn't need as much attention in the off season.

      All these guys talk about the F7 and Mach Z have zero idea how fast the 900 tcats were and STILL are. If that cat is dialed clutching wise and the pipes are hot all the rest will be racing for 2nd place.

  • @jadosa29
    @jadosa29 7 місяців тому +4

    As someone who has spent a lot of time on iq Polaris sleds I have a couple suggestions Steve. First, you’re going to want to check your exhaust valves. They really should be cleaned every season and they’re also pretty notorious for bellows failure. When that happens you will be severely lacking in power. A good way to tell, take the valve out, compress it by hand, hold your finger over the hole on the top of the valve then let it release. If it stays compressed it should be fine. If it leaks off the bellows has a pinhole or a tear. Cheap easy fix. A dirty valve will still sap power, so clean it either way. Also, use loctite. That’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
    Another cheaper upgrade, the pre 08 iq’s steer a bit heavy. Newer spindles from an 08 to 10 will make a world of difference in handling, and should be relatively cheap.

    Snowmobile challenge for next year.....
    Everyone finds and buys a Snowmobile, but then they draw numbers to establish an order. Then everyone has to draw a high/low card agaisnt a dealer, or coin flip to see if they keep it...or if they have to "pass it on" and give it to the next person in the drawing.
    And every challenge you switch Snowmobiles, then the highest switches with the lowest in the standings, sled.

    Such a fun challenge! Some truly great sleds from the past. Those f7 s are the sleds to beat if they stay together. I put 10,000 miles on my 03 f7. It sure was fast. Nick and Leo will need to go to the gym to wrestle those big triples around but they sure are sweet sleds! Can’t wait to see the challenge videos! Keep up the amazing work!
