Help,  I just went to fire up the Polaris 600 triple XLTSP and found a mouse nest in the air intake. Apparently they have been feasting on the foam filter. I found before trying to start. What is needed before firing up. Not sure how to be sure to get everytrhing out. Any thoughts?

You might want to take your air box off, if you havent opened the throttle at all previous to seeing the nest, you should be alright, but I would take the box off, order new filter, and use a small attachment vacuum, and try to clean as much as you can out of carbs, then open the sliders, and make double sure theres nothing that got in there.  Clean air box, put new air filter in, put back together.  If you see junk in the carbs, might be a good idea to take them out and apart and clean them with carb clean.
