LUBRICATION

Lack of lubrication will adversely affect your ride and the life of the sleds components. Lubricate with Polaris Premium All Season
Grease at 500 miles (800km) initially, every 1000 miles (1600km) after that, and before off-season storage each year. A grease gun
kit, complete with grease and adaptors, is available to lubricate all fittings. 

Rear Suspension

• The following diagrams are examples of lubrication points found on some rear suspensions.

MAINTENANCE

Front Suspension

• If grease zerks are present grease the left and right 

spindles. Raise the front end of the machine to permit 
better grease penetration into the spindle area.

Steering

• Lubricate the steering post U-Joint and lower pivot with 

Polaris engine fogging oil.

• Grease the center steering arms.

Jackshaft Bearing

Loosen the driven clutch retaining bolt and pull the clutch
toward you to expose the bearing and grease fitting. Inject
grease into the grease fitting in the flangette until grease purges
from the inside or outside of the bearing seal (may take only two
pumps). Push the clutch back onto the shaft and replace the
clutch retaining bolt. Torque the retaining bolt to 18 ft-lbs (24.4
N-m).

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 fresh oil. With the
engine off, turn the handlebars to the left and lubricate well 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 moisture out of the choke plunger area and reduce the
possibility of the choke becoming frozen.

Chaincase Oil

Check the chaincase oil level at the interval outlined in this
maintenance section. Change the chaincase oil after the first 500
miles (800 km), then every 1000 miles (1600 km) or seasonally.

Maintain the oil level between the “safe” marks on the dipstick
whenever checking or changing oil.

1.

Position the vehicle on a level surface

2.

Remove the dipstick or fill plug and view the oil level on
the dipstick.

3.

Add the recommended oil as needed. Do not overfill.

4.

Level indication:

•  Units equipped with a sight glass need should be filled 

to the 1/2 way mark (A)

• Units equipped with a dip stick only need to be filled to 

the safe marks located on the dip stick.

5.

Clean the magnetic plug on the dipstick or fill plug.

6.

Reinstall the dipstick or fill plug.

7.

Remove the dip stick and check the fluid level on the
dipstick. Make sure it is within the “safe” level.

ADJUSTMENTS

Choke Adjustment

1.

Flip the choke toggle to the “OFF” position.

2.

Loosen locknuts (1) on the carburetor.

3.

Turn sleeve adjusting nut (2) counter-clockwise until the
choke toggle shows no free play when pulled, then rotate
it clockwise until there is between 1/8 - 1/4in (3.2-.6.4mm)
free play (3).

NOTE: Verify the cable does not lift the plungers
when checking the free play.

4.

Tighten adjustment locknut (2).

5.

On VM carburetors, repeat steps 2 and 3 for on the other
carburetor.

MAINTENANCE

Throttle Lever Free Play - Non CFI

Throttle lever free play must always be at a specified clearance
(A) 0.010”-0.030” (0.25-0.80 mm) between the throttle lever
(B) and the throttle block (C). This clearance is controlled by the
throttle cable (D).

If adjustment is needed follow these steps: 

1.

Check the idle RPM and verify it is within the specified
range.

2.

Shut off engine.

3.

Locate the throttle cable that is attached to the carburetors
and adjust the throttle free play by adjusting the barrel nut
(E) and lock nuts (F).

4.

Once you achieve the proper free play of  0.010”-0.030”
(.25-.80mm), tighten the lock nuts.

5.

Verify the oil pump index marks are within specification.

6.

Check the idle RPM and verify it is within the specified
range.

NOTE: If the idle speed screw is adjusted inward
and the cable sleeve is not adjusted to take up the
throttle lever clearance, the engine may misfire or
kill upon initial throttle opening.

Throttle Lever Free-Play - CFI Models

The inline adjuster should only be used to set free play and to
remove cable slack that occurs if the cable has stretched over
time.

NOTE: Never use the in-line adjuster to adjust
engine idle speed and never adjust the cable so that
the throttle plate cam on the throttle body no longer
rests against the idle air gap screw.

Turning the in-line adjuster inwards (clockwise) will increase
throttle lever free-play.

Turning the in-line adjuster outwards (counter-clockwise) will
decrease throttle lever free-play.

In. / mm. 

Throttle Lever Free Play: 0.010"-0.030" (.25-.8mm)

CAUTION

When adjusting throttle lever free-play, always verify the 

engine RPM does not rise with bars in the full low and 

full up-right Rider Select positions (if applicable) and 

while turning the handlebars to the full left and full right 

positions.

CAUTION

After any idle speed adjustments are made, the throttle 
lever clearance and the oil pump adjustment must be 
checked and adjusted.
