FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Polaris DRAGON Ignition System (600 IQ Racer)
Your snowmobile is equipped with an ignition system feature that
improves competition performance by increasing exhaust system
temperature. The DRAGON Ignition S ystem provides maximum
“holeshot” performance for racing applications.
WARNING
DRAGON mode increases the exhaust system temperature and causes
engine misfire and backfire. Flammable materials and vapors may ignite
and result in fire and explosion, which may cause serious injury, death or
property damage. Read the Owner’s Manual. Always follow all
instructions and warnings.
DRAGON Mode Facts
S The DRAGON Ignition System i s intended for competition use on
closed courses by experienced riders only.
S There is no benefit to using DRAGON mode for normal trail riding.
S Unnecessary, extended or excessive use of DRAGON mode can re-
sult in severe engine damage, which is excluded from Polaris war-
ranty coverage.
S DRAGON mode usually heats up the exhaust system w ithin 5 to 20
seconds, depending upon the initial temperature of the exhaust sys-
tem.
S Two different sounds may be heard when using DRAGON mode.
One sound is an erratic misfire that may be heard when the exhaust
system is heating up. The other sound is a consistent misfire (with a
slight rise in engine RPM) when the exhaust system is at target oper-
ating temperature.
S DRAGON mode maintains the engine speed between 4500 and 5100
RPM.
S Be sure that the clutch engages at 5300 RPM or above to prevent
forward creep of the vehicle. See your dealer if the clutch needs ad-
justment.
S Please refer to the Polaris jetting chart and use the recommended jet
for current temperatures as this system is sensitive to j et changes.
