Polaris 600R Race Sled, 600 Racer, 600R F.A.Q.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for the Polaris 600R?

To properly break in your Polaris 600R, start with the first tank of fuel by riding at varying speeds and avoiding prolonged throttle positions. For the first 2-3 hours, avoid wide-open throttle. Gradually increase engine speed and load to ensure proper component bedding.

How often should I check the track tension on my Polaris 600 Racer?

Track tension should be checked before each ride. Ensure the track sag is within the manufacturer's specifications, typically around 1-1.5 inches of sag with moderate hand pressure applied to the track.

What type of fuel is recommended for the Polaris 600R Race Sled?

The Polaris 600R Race Sled is optimized for high-performance fuel with a minimum octane rating of 91. For best performance, use non-ethanol fuel if available.

How do I troubleshoot a starting issue in my Polaris 600R?

First, check the battery voltage and ensure it's fully charged. Inspect the spark plugs for fouling or wear and replace if necessary. Verify that the fuel is reaching the engine by checking the fuel lines and filter. Finally, inspect the kill switch and ignition system for proper operation.

What maintenance is required for the clutch system on a 600 Racer?

Regularly inspect the clutch for wear and clean it using compressed air to remove dust and debris. Check the belt for wear and replace it if any cracks or fraying are present. Ensure that the clutch components are properly aligned and the tension is adjusted according to the manufacturer's specifications.

How can I improve the suspension setup for racing conditions on my 600R?

To optimize suspension for racing, adjust the pre-load on the shocks to match the track conditions and your riding style. Fine-tune the compression and rebound settings for better handling. Regularly check for wear on bushings and bearings.

What are the signs of a worn-out drive belt on a Polaris 600R?

Signs of a worn-out drive belt include visible cracks, fraying, or glazing on the belt's surface. You may also notice a decrease in performance or unusual noises coming from the clutch area. Replace the belt if any of these symptoms are present.

How do I adjust the carburetor for optimal performance on a Polaris 600 Racer?

Begin by ensuring the engine is at operating temperature. Adjust the idle screw to achieve the recommended idle speed. Fine-tune the air-fuel mixture screw for smooth acceleration and optimal performance. Be sure to refer to the owner's manual for specific adjustment procedures.

What is the best way to store a Polaris 600R during the off-season?

For off-season storage, clean the sled thoroughly and apply a protective wax. Drain or stabilize the fuel, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Elevate the sled to prevent track deformation, and cover it with a breathable cover to protect it from dust and moisture.

How do I know if the cooling system on my Polaris 600R Race Sled is functioning properly?

Monitor the engine temperature gauge to ensure it remains within the normal operating range. Inspect the coolant level and top up if necessary. Check for leaks in the cooling system hoses and radiator. If overheating occurs, investigate the thermostat and water pump functionality.
