MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Front Suspension

The front suspension and steering components do not require lubrica-

tion.

Rear Suspension

Lubricate the suspension pivot shafts with Polaris Premium All Season 

Grease at 500 miles (800 km) initially, every 1000 miles (1600 km) after 

that, and before off-season storage each year.  Lack of lubrication will 

adversely affect your ride and the life of the suspension.  For more infor-

mation about suspension lubrication and adjustments, see your Polaris 

dealer.

Lubrication

Driveshaft Bearing

Inject grease into the fitting on the 

speedometer sensor housing until 

grease purges from the seal on the 

inside of the tunnel.  This should 

take approximately two pumps.  

Do not use more than four pumps.

Throttle Cable

Lubricate the throttle cable lightly 

with grease or oil. With the engine 

off, turn the handlebars to the left 

and lubricate liberally as shown.

Choke and Choke Cable

Lubricate the choke slide and cables 

lightly with oil or grease.  Before 

turning the engine off, operate the 

choke intermittently  to draw mois-

ture out of the choke plunger area 

and reduce the possibility of the 

choke becoming frozen.

Chaincase Oil

Check the chaincase oil level at the 

intervals outlined in the maintenance 

charts beginning on page 84.  The sight 

glass (1) is located on the lower rear of 

the chaincase. Maintain the oil level at 

or slightly below the center of the sight 

glass (2).  Change the chaincase oil after 

the first 500 miles (800 km), then every 

1000 miles (1600 km) or seasonally.

Polaris recommends the use of Polaris 

Synthetic Chaincase Lube.  See page 

124 for the part numbers of Polaris prod-

ucts.
