Binding Type Binding: N/A (Digital Download) Paper Type Paper: N/A (Digital Download) ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Type: 2-stroke, Liquid-Cooled Twin Displacement: 794cc (Specific displacement may vary slightly by sub-model or tuning, but 794cc is characteristic of the Indy Ultra series of that era). Bore X Stroke: Approximately 80.0 mm x 77.0 mm (Standard for this engine family). Compression Ratio: Approximately 7.0:1 (typical for performance 2-stroke engines of this period). Performance Horsepower Rating: Estimated 115-125 HP (This is an estimate based on similar Polaris engines of the period; exact rating is model-specific). Torque Rating: Torque figures are not typically emphasized as prominently as HP in snowmobile manuals, but substantial torque delivery is expected. Fuel System Carburetion: Dual Mikuni VM34 or similar carburetors (Standard for this engine). Fuel Type: Unleaded Gasoline (91 octane or higher recommended). Lubrication Oil Injection: Autolube system (Premix is not required unless specified for specific engine versions or if the injection system is bypassed). Cooling System Cooling Type: Liquid-Cooled Coolant Type: Polaris Premium Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent (50/50 mix with distilled water). 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Polaris P-85 Drive Clutch and P-90 Driven Clutch. Gear Ratios: Variable, dictated by CVT operation. Gear reduction is managed by clutch calibration and belt ratio. Clutch Engagement: Specific engagement RPM is calibrated by clutch weights, springs, and helix. Manual provides guidance for tuning. Clutch Fluid: N/A (CVT system does not use fluid for power transmission, only belt and clutch components). Drive Belt Spec: Polaris specific belt (e.g., 3211043 is a common cross-reference for a similar era Polaris belt; consult manual for exact PN). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Varies, typically around 105-115 inches. Overall Width: Varies, typically around 46-48 inches. Weights Dry Weight: Approximately 480-520 lbs (Dry weight varies by specific configuration). Fuel Capacity: Approximately 10-12 gallons. Oil Capacity: Approximate capacity for the Autolube reservoir; engine crankcase has a separate oil system for lubrication. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Data: Snowmobile safety is not rated by agencies like NHTSA. Safety focus is on operator skill and equipment maintenance. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brake system providing reliable stopping power. Kill Switch: Engine kill switch (tether cord) to shut off the engine in case of rider separation. Passive Features Lighting: Headlight and taillight for visibility. Track And Skis: Designed for traction and control on snow and ice. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Display: Basic gauge cluster including speedometer, tachometer, and indicator lights. No advanced infotainment systems. Driver Assistance Assistance Systems: No electronic driver assistance systems typical of modern vehicles. Connectivity Connectivity Features: N/A. Focus is on mechanical operation and rider control. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change: Refer to manual for specific interval, typically annually or after a set number of hours/miles. Crucial for 2-stroke engines. Clutch Inspection: Regular inspection of drive and driven clutches for wear, alignment, and proper...
