Something I just thought about today while riding......move the 3 switches that are above the fuel cap.....I keep destroying them. @ $60 each it sucks to replace them.
Dear Santa, All I want in a 2021 Polaris RMK is....
- Thread starter Prayn4snow
- Start date
Agreed.
Look at them funny and the trim ring breaks off the top or bottom edge.
Those switches are 90’s technology. (I hear the 90’s calling for them)
Owner requested changes to next Polaris Mountain sled

- “Shot” style capacitor starter. Huge weight loss and less mechanical
- No break in bogging
- No “fix” collar on driveshaft
- Increased tunnel/bulkhead clearance
- Reliable factory tether
- Correctly aligned clutches from the factory
- Snow check gear ratio choice for belt drive
- Drivers that fit the track better and Anti-ratchet
- Better rubber Ski dampener like the DuraPro
- Fully clipped track
- Cat style tunnel/cooling system that doesn't hold the snow.
- Shorter tunnel with better cooling than current design
- Stronger lower A-arms
- Better shocks, 170lbs guys are bottoming out the factory mono tube
- Snow check seat height choice, low, med, high
- More Snow check track options
- Snow check shock spring choices
- Move foot loop higher or remove to reduce risk of foot/ankle/knee injury
- Weight balance 50/50 from right to left
- Snow check clutch weight choice. Not everyone rides at 8000’
- Better pull rope
- Snow check shorter running board option
- Snow check Alpha style Polaris design single rail option
- Snow check 3.5” pitch track option
- Updated/new look body panels
- Rear bumper, put handle up higher
- Redesign spare belt holder that doesn't bend belt as much
- Boondocker style cold air intake vent
- Better factory scratchers for better cooling and reverse operation
- 146” Pro RMK option other than the SKS
- 4 yr warranty is Awesome, but engine reliability is paramount
- Indy Lite RMK 3/4 size, beginner / Intro / smaller person sled, maybe a single 400cc and 550cc twin option
- Better switches on console
- I will continue to update this with valid feedback

I have no clue how I manage to break them but the ring on the one side breaks off then the rocker switch falls out.
This is the second set I’ve damaged.
I had a dealer out of state call me about this thread. Their Polaris rep was already talking about our list of "Demands" he called it lol. The dealership said they would like to add that Polaris take the side of the customer more when warranty claims come in rather than a "Bean counter" position.
Does doo have a temp number other than just bars. My 850 3 inch has never ran hot.
Khaos 850 163” w/ short 155 tunnel
Improved accessory tunnel mounting (ski doo has this down with their linq system), the venerable T slot could use a revamping.
love the idea of more snowcheck options (Polaris is light years ahead here with snow check exclusive options and colors, but adding seat height, clutch setup, gearing (as others have mentioned) would be great. This really gets customers excited to pony up in April, lock in an order on a new sled, and get a better value (while netting the Manufactuer more profit). Win win. so many riders are not your typical 5’10” 175 lb sledder, and having to go to the aftermarket to swap out Brand new parts, just cuz you have long arms or weigh a few pounds more (or less), is leaving money on the table for the OEM.

Lower C.O.G probably isn't good in your mind either.
Definitely some great ideas but we all know we can only expect a couple.........
For sure they need the Khaos line expanded into the 163 and either have the Khaos with short tunnels or have a short tunnel option during snowcheck.
How about a simple tether.......???? Please its about time Polaris, we're talking about a minimal part that is a huge safety feature!!
The mention of the "break in" indicator again is something simple and I agree would be nice to know where the motor is actually at.
It's also time for a new track ( lug height and pitch )
Improved ski dampeners, how many more need to be replaced before someone recognizes it's time!!
These are just simple things that I hope Polaris are looking at, obviously my list, everyone's list is longer but it's time for some basic improvements.

It’s a common goal in all Motorsports industries to reduce dead weight.
The common equation is 1# unsprung weight equals 10# of suspended weight in effect on handling.
ASK THE MXPERTS: WHAT IS UNSPRUNG WEIGHT?
Unsprung weight is the ying, yang of your bike's suspension
www.google.com
Lower C.O.G. Is great, but if it is achieved through an unsprung weight penalty the overall performance/ handling suffers.
Most definitely not “in my mind”
Just physics.
^does the snow in the skid weigh more or less than a cooler, that is the question. bike swing arms aren't usually packing 5-25 pounds of snow. was just thinking kill two birds with one stone but it might not be greatest idea I know

Polaris needs to get away from any/all tunnel coolers.
Why add more weight to the skid by turning it into a cooler? The skid already holds enough weight due to the tunnel dripping on it.

146" Khaos with 155" track. Or just make SC options for whatever track you want under whichever tunnel.
Factory tether.
Move the footwell cross bar up an inch.
Add Ride Command \ Buddy tracking to PIDD and make it compatible with Trailtech Voyager Pro.
