[pro X 600]

i am 13 and have a skidoo mxz700. i can handle it real good but i need eletric start. i am trying to get a sled without eletric start. i am looking for a good
cross country-snowcross sled that still has power but easy for me too pull start. i know i can pull start a 500 but would a 600 be much different. what do you think 500 or 600 and what make and model.

Polaris Pro X 600
Polaris XC 600 SP
Polaris XC 500 SP
Arctic Cat F5
Arctic Cat F6
Skidoo REV 600 HO

Those are the ones I would pick from.

If u want electric start just buy a kit from bombardier to install onto ur sled.

i already have an eletric start on my 700 and i am looking for a sled without eletric start. and i cant pull start a 700. i know i can pull start a 500 but would a 600 be much different.

may i ask why you dont want electric start?id keep what you have and use the key[]i cant wait to get it

 

[pro X 600]

the key is nice but i am looking for a light weight performance sled. and whenever i race someone they always have 500s 440s or 600s and so far not one person i chalenged to race had key start.

If you want more acceleration get a 600, but it'll be about same on top as a 500.

 

[pro X 600]

will the pull start be much harder on a 600 than a 500

 

[Flyin_Ryan]

Won't notice a difference.

 

[pro X 600]

what is the top speeds of a 500 and a 600

 

[ken420]

your 700 wont spank your frineds 440's or 500's?you really think electric start slows you down that much?its not that much heavier

 

[Polaris-Man]

I think he made his point. He doesn't want electric start. Quit telling him to use it.

I don't like it, I think it's for wusses [] Or old ppl [] It's acceptable on 4-strokes and it's acceptable on touring sleds.

Same goes for reverse.

That's JMHO though.

Oh yeah, and a 600 has more top end than a 500. By about 10 to 15 MPH. Plus it will get there A LOT faster.

 

[pro X 600]

yea my 700 kills my friends but i am trying to get away from all the extra deadweight. as p-man said pullstart is for wusses.

 

[joezak111]

hey prox600 you must have a pretty good job at 13 years old to have a mxz700. i wish i had a sled like that when i was your age

 

[Alaskangold]

Or parents you care about him! Like someone said, no difference between 5 and 6 - pulling them over. Get the 600, that way later you won't wish you had! The 600 has more top end and acceleration then a 500, my 600 XC has pulled 115 on the SPEEDO on a cold day... jetted right and everything running good. Average top speed though is around 105 to 110 on the SPEEDO.

 

[SledHead]

Can you not just remove the electric start??

 

[pro X 600]

i cant pullstart it though. i get the cord going but i dont get enough speed on the pull to start it.so im wondering if i will be able yo pull start a 600. i can pull a 500 with ease.

 

[Alaskangold]

You should not have any prob with the 6 then, my buddies wife has a 02 500xc - I got a 02 600xc. You really can't tell the difference between the two.

 

[pro X 600]

thanks alaskangold, what 600s do you think are the best.

 

[ski-dude]

If a 500 isn't any faster than a 600 then why spend 1200 dollars extra on a 600? And i would like to know what parent would let thier 13 year old kid run around on a 700. I just dont get people sometimes.
