you must have NEVER rode it with the VES in it, lol.
VES=JUNK
got it so hot I melted the hood with the VES in it and didn't kill the engine. Will be switching it when I run out though. Other oils are cheaper and seem to work just fine.

PISTONS
Make sure you put the pistons in right. The 05 service manuel is wrong :face-icon-small-fro06 is right. We did this and cost me a set of pistons in about 10min. The 900rmk is the only motor that the intake & exhaust come out the front. Make sure you check this at your poo. dealer. FF:welcome:TO THE 900 CLUB

6. Lubricate the small end bearings and the piston pinswith Polaris 2 stroke oil and install the piston onto the crankshaftwith the
piston pin removal/installation tool PN 2870386.
7. Install new c--clips in the piston grooves with the gap facing straight up (12:00 position) or straight down (6:00 position).
Make sure that the c--clip is fully seated in the piston groove. Use c--clip installation tool PN 2872622.
8. Install the piston rings onto the piston with the bevel side up and the gap facing the piston ring locating pin.
9. If old base gaskets are damaged, install new base gaskets (D) on the upper crankcase.
10. Lubricate the cylinders and pistons with Polaris 2--stroke oil and carefully install the cylinder onto the pistons by squeezing
the piston rings onto the locating pins and rocking the cylinder gently from the intake and exhaust sides.
11. Install the cylinder base bolts (D) and torque to 34 ft.lbs (46Nm) in the sequence and specification outlined on pages
5.1--5.5.piston pin removal/installation tool PN 2870386.

the manual isnt very specific at all, supposed to be an arrow on the pistons and that faces to the intake/exhuast.....please fill me in on the details...if nothing else to double check the polaris shop's info/advice

here's another place to look. I called Kurts polaris in Missoula and they had the 06 pistons in their Seally store. Three days later I had them.

The new wiseco pistons
If you heat cycle those pistons 5 time before you ride it and MAKE SURE IT IS OVER 100 DEGREES BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF they will work very well for you.

lemme get mine running, i'll take ya to marysville and treat you to dinner
have ya ever ate at the marysville house?
food is a touch spendy, but it's worth every dime....very good
the marysville trail system isnt bad sledding either, a couple miles in you get to windshield hill.....nice meadow with a steep little hill to climb, further in is a play area at 1864 (i think thats the number) and meyer hill, lotsa groomed trail, and plenty of area to boondock/play in
normally ride there, havent been to remini in years.....honestly i havent been out much the last few years at all....
i'll have to ask my old man what the snow is like up there....his and moms RMK's are already loaded...LOL

never ridden that area either...so i will make a trip there for sure...not far away at all, so would be easy to do...
i didnt do much riding last year either...hoping to get it made up this year now...after feb, i am pretty much open to go whereever..plus we both have lots to do on the sleds before, lol...
got my pistons and gaskets today....gonna start throwing it together tomorrow
my old man is gonna help me, as it sits in his garage (im too poor to have one yet)
but now he needs to talk to his sled head brother, and find out if i need to pull the reeds ect ect ect
i think he and i both just wanna drink beer, versus breaking a knuckle tonight.....bitter fricking cold day, had to load 1/2 ton of grain into the hog feeder, did some runnin
tomorrow will be nicer.....and make the shop stove seem that much better

one thing i noticed today, i seem to be missing the plastic plenum thing that the book shows
sled has slp pipes and clutch cover.....but i cant find anything that attachs the hood intake to the goofy looking plastic thing thats hooked to the TB
and is there anyway to get the TB out without breaking something?
i guess im too afraid to put much pressure on it (pulling toward the front, away from the reeds)......i finally got the parts....dont need to break anything else now....LOL
supposedly it ran great before the jugs were pulled....would lift the ski's on 1.5 cylinders......LOL

Throttle body pulls right off easy once you loosen the clamps. You have to have the exhaust Y-pipe off to get it off. Make sure your throttle boots don't have any cracks while you are working on this. Does it have an SLP intake on the front or is there an open hole facing up where the intake plenum is supposed to go?
