Sleds
The Super Sport should be pretty bullet proof. The 95 XCR should have the clutch cover bushing replaced yearly as well as any other worn parts in the clutch. A sloppy clutch can take the crank out on those sleds. The monoblock 600 motor will self destruct if you run it between 8800 and 8900 RPM for long periods of time. Stock pipe doesn't run that high so if you have a stock pipe then no worries. If you have tripple pipes on it, make sure you keep them spinning above those RPMs. Most are designed to run at 9200.

9200 rpm. wow. i would never have guessed that high. one of them is piped and clutch. for some reason i think it's the supersport, which i don't understand why they'd do that particular machine. anyways i'm going tonight to look at them, thanks for your help.
See this link regarding the XCR's. This guy is often refered to on various snowmobile sites about polaris sleds:

The XCR/XLT's are good sleds once you know more about them. Good luck!

Pipes
If they are SLPs on the tripple, instructions say 89-9100. If that Super Sport is piped, I would be a little surprised, not many pipes made for a fan cooled motor. Aaen made some I think.

Nothing to woory about with aftermarket single pipes. They generally are even more forgiving than stock, yet far out perform a stock pipe. Twins and tripples are a different story. Nothing wrong with them, just takes more attention to jetting and clutching adjustments. That is not the case with the singles tho. We had an xcr with tripples and it ran great and had zero issues with it. Just had to jet accordiing to temp and elevation once I got it dialed in and the clutching down. I ran mine @9300-94 it lasted for thousands of miles.
