    I have a 2020 Polaris 570 and had it into the shop they said it was leaking oil so I took it to warm up to change oil and it lost the drain plug and shut off on me. Please someone tell me if there is an oil safety switch or some advice on what to do. The company is trying to say it is not their...

    Hey I have a 2011 sportsman 500 ho. I went to check the oil after the engine ran for 5 seconds or so (I checked it after bc i put on a new carburetor and forgot to check it before I started it, wasnt to worried about it anyways) and I noticed it was a bit over full and had small bubbles. I'm...

    The oil change issue has me confused. I know about the 10w/30 counter balance and AGL transmission oils, but everyone says the front crankcase has no oil. Even Polaris mechanics with decades of experience. Then why is there a crankcase drain plug right next to the counter balance drain plug? And...

    I need some assistance. I just bought a 94 polaris 400 4x4 with 4 wheel drive. After cleaning it up and replacing the very old battery, I let it sit for about a week. Went out to start it today and it would not turn off. The person who owned it before me changed it from adding oil in the...

    Hey guys. New to quads, bought the xplorer 400 2 stroke the other day. Bikes in great condition, only 4000km on it. It sat for about 6 years. I have put maybe 3 hours on it, and while going through some tall grass and rough trail it flashed the temp light. This is weird, because it has plenty of...

    Just purchased an 18 base 570 and would like to change all the fluids. Is the Trans fluid separate from the Rear diff. fluid? Apologies if this is probably a silly question but I am new to this. Thanks
