Engine Variants Engine Variants: 500cc, 600cc, 700cc, 800cc (XC SP models), and a 900cc engine for the Fusion 900. Exact displacement and bore/stroke figures are provided in the manual. Performance Performance: Horsepower ratings would typically range from approximately 80-90 HP for the 500cc to over 120 HP for the 800cc models. Torque figures are also detailed. Specific performance data for each engine is in the manual. Fuel System Fuel System: Typically featured Mikuni VM series carburetors (e.g., VM34 or VM38) for most models, with specific jetting, needle settings, and float bowl adjustments detailed in the manual. Some higher-performance variants might feature EFI. Ignition System Ignition System: CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) or similar electronic ignition system, with detailed diagnostic procedures in the manual. Cooling System Cooling System: Liquid-cooled, with radiator and fan configurations specified for each model. Coolant type and capacity are detailed. 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) featuring Polaris's proprietary P-85 drive clutch and a compatible driven clutch (e.g., P-90 or similar). Belt-to-belt ratio changes provide seamless acceleration. Optional Optional: Not applicable for this model year and series. Features Features: Clutch calibration for optimal performance in various conditions (e.g., clutching kits for altitude or specific riding styles). Maintenance includes belt inspection, tension adjustment, and clutch alignment. Gearbox for reverse is typically a manual engagement system. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Exterior: Overall length, width, and height are model-specific. For example, typical lengths could be around 116-120 inches, with widths around 47-49 inches. Specifics are in the manual. Weights Weights: Dry weights generally ranged from approximately 450 lbs for smaller engines to over 500 lbs for larger displacement models. Operating weight would be higher with fluids and track installed. Track Dimensions Track Dimensions: Track length, width, and lug height vary by model and are crucial for performance and traction. Standard configurations often featured 136-inch tracks with varying lug depths. 🛡️ Safety Features Active Features Active Features: Hydraulic disc brake system providing reliable stopping power.
