- As snowmobilers, we're drawn to what's new, what's better, what's faster. But, a lot of people simply can't afford that. We shouldn't let that stop us. So, today I'm going to talk about our 2002 Polaris Classic Touring 600 and why it might possibly be the best value in used snowmobiles for 2023.

Excellent synopsis of that particular sled and a well made video! Just bought two low mile 96 Polaris Indy 500’s. I got out of the sport about 6 years ago. Snowmobiling is more expensive than ever before. This video will definitely help those interested in getting into the sport research older models that can be bought for penny’s on the dollar compared to new. Very nice classic you have there!👍
Thank you! I agree about the sport. That Classic was my re-entry into snowmobiling with about the same time off as you.
I have a very classic xc 700 and i had one of those to.
It’s in great shape!
I love my Axys 800 for a daily driver but I love going back to my Indy Touring for hauling my ice sled and all around property work.
Me, too! They're great sleds!
2000 snowmobile of the year was the 600 xcsp , same engine and chassis, rear skid was an extra 10 and the front had true crc(tiped in trailering arms 》but pretty hard to go wrong with that combo. I love gen 2s have 3 of them xc, xcr and sks. Great video and great information.
Thank you! The ergos might not be as good as the rider forward designs, but these things corner flat and perform well.
I have a 03 classic 600 with the M 10 suspension goes great but has metal shavings in the gear cases all the time
Are the metal shavings magnetic? Is it like a paste when mixed with the oil, or are they big enough that they're more like chips?
The super fine metallic particles in oil are fairly normal, and one of the main reasons why you need to change the gearcase oil, since there's no filter. If the shavings or chips are a little larger or if they aren't magnetic, then you've got an issue that needs to be investigated.
@@ponycarfan my dipstick has a magnet on the end, so I’m guessing they’re magnetic probably gonna have to tear into it and find out what’s wrong save that for next season
@@LL.bean123 It’s probably normal, but a good idea to change the lube and check chain tension.
Deals can still be had i just bought a 22 ski doo expedition sport with the 600 efi motor 12k all in not a bad deal but i do agree the sport has become exponentially more expensive its the crooks of the government looking to recouperate the crb and cerb response money that was so carelessly given out to many people that couldn't even legally earn it
That sounds like a great deal! Congrats!
You have good snow there!!😬
It's been a pretty good year. I've been able to ride almost any time I want, which is cool.
Do you have any ice scratchers on it? If so what kind and where did you place them?
I did have them for a while, but never needed them so I took 'em off. I use the sled for ice fishing, but have never had a problem with hyfax wear. The cooling system never complains, either. I wish newer sleds were as easy going.
How's a 2005 paloris industries edge touring 600? Thinking about getting one
I'm not as familiar with those, but have no concerns. I think that would be an excellent choice. Edge Touring means you'd get an updated suspension, both front and rear. The "Edge" suspension was the best in the industry before the advent of "rider forward" chassis designs. Those are really flat cornering and handle the bumps as good or better than anything before it from any manufacturer. As far as the engine goes, it's still the same Liberty 600. Polaris used essentially the same block for the 600 when they switched to fuel injection, even though they changed the name of the engine when they did that. To me, that's proof of how good the engine was/is - it took a long time to develop something better. Depending on price, of course, you can't go wrong with a sled like that - it will just keep running and running.
@@ponycarfan awesome good to mow it's a good machine only 2200 miles and it's only $1500 will get today
What would a mint 2002 Classic Touring with 1,493 miles be worth now. It has electric start/reverse
I’m seeing them online for $2,500 (US), which is more than I paid for mine. But, they’re still a good value at that price, in my opinion.
$2K.
@@newpylong That's better! I hope used prices continue to go down.
I just paid 600 for a 2001. Guy couldn’t get it started….was no drop line in gas tank! 😂
@@jimrup3528 That's awesome! Great bargain, for sure!
I have a 22 matrix 129 and 06 550 touring I love it but it is a gas hog kinda
Just got a 01 classic 600 for 550 needs carb boots just resealed the head seat is flawless
That engine is a real winner. Can’t go wrong with those sleds.
@@ponycarfan forsure compared to these 12-16k dollar new sleds it’s a no brainer for 3 months a year of snow in New England lol just did my head gasket seals and head seals so boots next track mint seat mint new skis and carbides she sure is a classic 😆✌️
