First of all up until 09 Polaris put in the same helix for 6 7 and 8s
lets go in to the motors for a bit
The 600 the shortest all stroke of them 64 mm fast revving motor but less torque. but Polaris put the same helix as the 700.
The 700 in the middle with a 68 mm stroke, more torque than the 600 but less than the 800.
The 800 with the longer stroke 70mm has more torque tha eather of the 6 or.
Just the laws of physic's tells me the you cant all run the same helix in all them.
The more torque the steeper ramp helix you will need to harness the torque of the motor. The less torque the smaller the ramp angle should be.YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT ALL UP IN THE DRIVE CLUTCH. You have to change the driven to match.
Other than the helix that they put in the 09 dragon, Polaris stock out of the box has not had it even close on clutching. NEVER HAVE ON THE MT SLEDS.
Polaris has been putting a 42 for the final on all the mt sled for years. IT CAN NOT WORK FOR ALL. The only one that will pull it is the new 800 none of the other will pull it good ( this is talking 6000 up elev.) the longer the track also changes how much final it will pull. Gearing can help pull more ramp on the final but not as much as you would think.
here is what i would recommend for each in the team driven
600 144/155 58-38-46 or a 56-38-46 stock spring
700 155/163 58-40-46 or 58-38-46 stock spring
800 155/163 64-40-46 stock spring 163 change to a blk/purple spring
Remember this is for stock with mod this will change.
Now the 900s Polaris was off the other way, stock likes a 64-44or 66-44 or64-42 or a 66-42
the drive clutch on most is not to bad. but would install the almond spring.
balance the weights.
This is just set up every thing else like belt side clearance, alignment, balance etc also apply's all this is delt with in other threads.
