Search is your friend. This has been covered many times in the XCR/XLT forum. There were a couple of different triple 600 engines used in 96 XCRs. The monoblock with 3-1 single pipe and the triple pipe triple individual cylinder version. Carb setup should be similar but adjustment settings may vary a bit. The 3-1 is in the wedge chassis, the triple triple is in the aggressive chassis. I have the factory shop manual for both.

 

Thanks for the reply! I have the triple / triple as you called it, 3 separate jugs for each cylinder, I did a search, scrolled through many pages but didn’t find what I was looking for, any info would be much appreciate, I’ll also continue to search for it here.

 

Great info. Much appreciated

 

SP doesn't stand for Special. Special Performance, on the otherhand, is the proper terminology Polaris used with the SP initials

 

I was at the MY96 Race School that Polaris held in Minnesota, in the fall of 1995.

Jerry Olson (Polaris Race Engineer) Explained and Reviewed the MY96 "440 XCR Special" which had the CRC "no bump steer" front steering geometry. It was at this meeting that it was decided to standardize that the toe-in measurement be taken 10" forward of the ski mounting bolt and 10" back of the ski mounting bolt. I was the one who brought up this need for a consistent measurement procedure on all sleds.

Wes Blakeslee (RIP, Chief engineer for the Triple Triple engines) discussed the features and engineering of the MY96 "600 XCR Special" including the Crankshaft gear driven water pump. I worked with him throughout that first season, as problems were discovered and solutions were developed on this sled.

Nobody attending that meeting, suggested their terminology was incorrect.
