  • A short and sweet video outlining some, not all, mods, tweaks, and upgrades to make your sled perform better. This video is made in response to the many questions I receive on how to make a sled perform better.

    3:16 I can't stress this part enough. I just installed a clutch kit on my 2013 Ski Doo Summit Sport 600, after riding this sled the last 8 winters it is hands down my most favorite upgrade. It makes a HUGE difference when it's dialed in with better springs, helix and clutch weights. Shoutout to Dynamo Joe from iBackshift 👍

    I was looking for an exhaust can for my 2008 polaris iq shift when a learned that rather of gaining power you loose some because the back pressure of an aftermarket can is reduced too much. Also some says that you sacrifice relieability. I'm really confused and i wanted your opinion on that subject. Thank you!

    My 2009 Polaris 600 155 performs well but I’ve noticed even in mild weather, it likes to foul its plugs although it is fuel injected. Would my fuel injectors need to be reprogrammed? The clutches have flatland weights in them

  • @Simbstah
    @Simbstah 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is this a RT? I bought a renegade RT this winter. But the combination of being front heavy and low at the belly, it causes it to ride the belly as much as the skiis which i dont like. and second, id like a tighter ski stance, do you have any recomendation on A-arms? or perhaps a small lift in the front will cause the skiis to come a bit closer together? Thoughts?

    Hey Powermodz just wondering what can do you have in there. I have the RK tec 700 Engine rev SDI. I ride mostly trail so It can't be too loud. Just wondering what you think. I don't want to lose performance. Your input would be greatly appreciated thanks. Also where did you get that seat.

  • @stoicc1
    @stoicc1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ tony johnson i own a550 94 ext panther. those are specifically for trail riding,not draging or ditch banging or anythin like that. anyway. i blew it up so i took the 550 out and had it professionally bored and honed now its a 580 i had to put it on hold from other projects,but i'm goin to put a new primary and secondary clutch in it. a performance Y pipe, a performance exaust and a can. then obviously give it a good tune up and after thats all done. look into a good track. but i guesss this all depends on your budget.

  • @tbasc

    Hi, I am running a prormk 800 on trails I am getting engine temps up to 210 this is with scratchers down , do I need to be concerned? The engine light didn’t come on just seems hot, as soon as I get in the powder it drops temp 50 degrees... running 2” track

  • @bubbles14045
    @bubbles14045 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Who would you recommend for exhaust overall, looking to build a similar sled as you got, a lightweight but strong powder machine able to hit big air in the mountains, quick snappy power is what i need, probably go with clutch, suspension, intake, eventually motor and turbo+ fuel injection upgrades first

    PowerModz would you buy a Polaris 340 Indy and make it a mountain sled, and if you would could you even make one, I think it would have to little power for the big hills and or trails. It would be a good little play sled though just think about it

I know u specialize in skidoo and polaris, but i was wondering if u would have any clue on some modern or after market seats for not too expensive that wouldnt take too much work to modify it to fit on the sled
    Thanks soooo much!!!! :-)
