Put an anti-stab kit on and keep the track loose. Change the helix in the secondary to a 51* I have no box #'s for you.

everything about the sled is reliable except the chain. replace it or swap over to hyvos. there are better handling chassis out but very few sleds tha are as pull and go as a 900 cat.

keep the bearings greased , the one by the speedo cable housing below the secondary, and the one behind the secondary, if your out ridin and the speedo stops working , time to turn around and head her home, the bearing is about to fail.

X2 on the chain. That motor makes a TON of torque snaps the chain like tinsel. Also the motor has a wicked lean spot, be careful riding down the road at a steady throttle. I would suggest adding some fuel at about 5000 RPM.

The hyvo chain is what Polaris sleds run, not sure where to get the conversion equivalent maybe check with a cat dealer or possibly Western Power Sports. You will need gears to match.

I recently had a post going, someone replied with wps #s for the hyvo gears and chain. stock would be 19/43 on the gears and a 72p chain. a lower setup would be 20/46 and a 74p chain. that is where I am going, but I am a 250pounder.

Who can sell HYVO chain and gears?

Anyone who is a Western Power Sports supplied dealer. I would call Fastrax in Puyallup, if you are here in the northwest. Also Jakes small engines in North Dakota. Jake is a snowester on here, and had me a set of gears and a chain in a day or two. His username is Sledstew, he has a website also -www.jakessmallengine.com Give him some bussiness he treated me right! -00's

I was looking at Jakes website.......

He has a link to a WPS catolog. So anyone can look up the part numbers. The catolog also has the numbers for converting all sleds to HYVO gears. Good Luck-00's

definitely replace the chain. stock one lasts on season maybe. don't run around 6000 rpm on trails or you will b buying a new motor(hard lesson) unles the lean spot has been eliminated. other than that, BOSS seat and forward steering post. O ya, it does NOT like running rich at all(useless trip)
