Lubricant and Maintenance Quick Reference2.10-2.11
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Inspection,
adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary.When inspection reveals the need for
replacement parts, use genuine Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer.
NOTE:Service and adjustments are critical. If you’re not familiar with safe service and adjustment
procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle
speedofapproximately10 milesperhour. Vehiclessubjectedto severeuse mustbe inspectedandservicedmore
frequently.
Severe Use Definition
GFrequent immersion in mud, water or sand
GRacing or race-style high RPM use
GProlonged low speed, heavy load operation
GExtended idle
GShort trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting
in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if
it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause or see your dealer.
Maintenance Chart Key
The following symbols denote potential items to be aware of during maintenance:
H= CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended this service be performed
by an authorized Polaris dealer.
"= SEVERE USE ITEM ----If vehicle is subjected to severe use, decrease interval by 50%
(Severe Use is defined as frequent vehicle immersion in mud, water or sand, racing or race-style high rpm
use, prolonged low speed - heavy load operation or extended idle. More preventative maintenance is
required under these conditions. Fluid changes, cable, chain and chassis lubrication are required more
frequently. For engine oil, short trip cold weather riding also constitutes severe use. Pay special attention
to oil level. A rising oil level in cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or
crankcase. Change oil immediately and monitor level. If oil level begins to rise, discontinue use and
determine cause.)
E= Emission Control System Service (California).
NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.

COMPRESSION TEST
NOTE: This Polaris 4-Strokeengine is equipped with
an automatic decompressor. Compression readings
will vary in proportion to cranking speed during the
test.Average compression (measured) is about
70--90 psi
Smooth idle generally indicates good compression.
Low engine compression is rarely a factor in running
condition problems above idle speed.Abnormally
high compression can be caused by a decompressor
malfunction, or worn or damaged exhaust cam lobes.
Inspect camshaft and automatic decompression
mechanism if compression is abnormally high.
A cylinder leakage test isthe best indication ofengine
condition on models with automatic decompression.
Follow tester manufacturer’s instructions to perform

DRIVE CHAIN INSPECTION
The chain must be replaced when it reaches 3%
elongation.
1.Stretch the chain tightly in a straight line.
2.Measurealength oftwentypitches(pins) from pin
center to pin center, and compare to the
specification.Replace the chain if the length
exceeds the wear limit.
3.When replacing or reinstalling drive chain, install

DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT,
CONCENTRIC
CAUTION: Never adjust or operate the vehicle
with the rear drive chain too loose or too tight as
severe damage to the transmission and drive
components can result.
Break-In: Itis extremely importantto maintain proper
chain tension to ensure the best possible chain life.
There is a chain break-in period of approximately 100
miles or two (2) tanks of fuel. During this time chain
tension should be watched very closely and loads to
the chain should be kept light.
Checking Deflection: Inspect chain deflection by
slowly moving theATV forward so any slack that may
have previously been on the under part of the chain
is now on the top side of the chain. The bottom part
of the chain should be taught during inspection.
Measure the chain deflection as shown in the
diagram. Deflection should be approximately3/8
in. (10 mm).
After inspection, again slowly move the ATV forward
until all the chain slack is on the top side of the chain
and inspect the deflection.Repeat this procedure
several times to check different spots on the chain.
SWINGARM
The chain is correctly adjusted when the tightest
portion of the chain itself has approximately 3/8 in.,

CYLINDER HONE
SELECTION/HONING
PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
A hone which will straighten as well as remove
material from the cylinder is very important. Using a
common springloaded glaze breaker for honing isnot
advised for nicasil cylinders. Polaris recommends
using a rigid hone or arbor honing machine.
Cylinders may be wet or dry honed depending upon
the hone manufacturer’s recommendations.Wet
honing removes more material faster and leaves a
more distinct pattern in the bore.
HONING TO DEGLAZE
A finished cylinder should have a cross-hatch pattern
toensurepiston ringseatingand toaid inthe retention
of the fuel/oil mixture during initial break in. Hone
cylinderaccordingtohonemanufacturer’s
instructions, or these guidelines:
GUse a motor speed of approximately
300-500 RPM, run the hone in and
outof the cylinder rapidly until cutting
tension decreases.Remember to
keep the hone drive shaft centered
(orcylindercenteredon arbor)and to
bring the stones approximately 1/2″
(1.3 cm)above and belowtheboreat
the end of each stroke.
GRelease the honeat regularintervals
and inspect the bore to determine if
ithas been sufficiently deglazed, and
to check for correct cross--hatch.
NOTE: Do not allow cylinder to
heat up during honing.
GAfter honing has been completed,
inspectcylinder forthinningor
peeling.
IMPORTANT: Clean the Cylinder After
It is very important that the cylinder be thoroughly
cleanedafterhoning to remove allgritmaterial. Wash
thecylinderin a solvent,then inhot, soapy water. Use
electrical contact cleaner if necessary to clean these
areas. Rinse thoroughly, dry with compressed air ,
and oil the bore immediately with Polaris 4 Cycle
Lubricant to prevent the formation of surface rust.
Honing
3.6
ENGINE
PartShark.com
877-999-5686
If cylinder wear or damage is excessive, it will be
necessary to replace the cylinder. Honeonly enough
to deglaze the outer layer of the cylinder bore.
EXAMPLE OF CROSS HATCH PATTERN
HONING TO OVERSIZE
If cylinder wear or damage is excessive, it will be
necessary to oversize the cylinder using a new
oversize piston and rings. Thismay be accomplished
by either boring the cylinder and then finish honing to
the final bore size, or by rough honing followed by
finish honing.
For oversize honing always wet hone using honing oil
and a coarse roughing stone. Measure the piston (see
piston measurement) and rough hone to the size of the
piston. Always leave .002 - .003″ (.05 - .07 mm) for
finish honing.Refer to piston-to-cylinder clearance
specifications on Page3.2 before honing. Completethe
sizing with fine grit stones to provide the proper
cross-hatch finish and required piston clearance.
A finished cylinder should have a cross-hatch pattern
toensurepiston ringseatingand toaid inthe retention
of the fuel/oil mixture during initial break in. Hone
cylinderaccordingtohonemanufacturer’s
instructions, or these guidelines:
rough or sharp edges. Apply a slight
chamfer to all ports to remove sharp
edges or burrs, paying particular
attention to the corners of the intake
and exhaust ports.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection when performing
cylinder head service. Valve guide replacement will
require heating of the cylinder head. Wear gloves to
prevent burns.
Valve Guide Removal/Installation
1.Removeall carbon deposits from the combustion
chamber, valve seat and valve guide area before
attempting to remove valve guides. CAUTION:
Carbon deposits are extremely abrasiveand may
damage the valve guide bore when guides are

2.Placenew valve guides in a freezer forat least15
minutes while heating cylinder head.
3.Heatcylinder head in an ovenor use a hot plateto
bring cylinder head temperature to 212° F (100°
C).CAUTION:Do not use a torch to heat

4.Follow the manufacturers instructions provided
with the valve seat cutters in the Valve Seat
ReconditioningKit (PN 2200634). Abrasivestone
seat reconditioning equipment can also be used.
Keep valves in order with their respective seat.
NOTE: Valve seat width and point of contact on the
valve face is very important for proper sealing. The
valve must contact the valve seat over the entire
circumference of the seat, and the seat must be the
properwidth all the way around. If theseat isuneven,
compression leakage will result. If the seat is too
wide, seat pressure is reduced, causing carbon
accumulation and possible compression loss. If the
seat is too narrow, heat transfer from valve to seat is
reduced and the valve may overheat and warp,
resulting in burnt valves.
5.Once thoroughly heated, place cylinder head on

1.Clean the gasket surfaces on the cylinder and
crankcase.Remove all traces of old gasket
material.
2.Make sure the cylinder mounting bolt holes are
clean and free of debris.
3.Install a new circlip on one side of the piston with
the end gap facing up or down.
CAUTION:Circlips become deformed during the
removal process. Do not re-use old circlips. Do not
compress the new clip more than necessary upon
installation to prevent loss of radial tension. Severe
engine damage may result if circlips are re-used or
deformed during installation.

IMPORTANT CAMSHAFT TIMING NOTE: In order
totimethecamshafttothecrankshaft,thepistonmust
be precisely located at Top Dead Center (TDC). This
can be accomplished using one of two methods.
When the stator assembly is removed, follow the
procedure outlined in Method 1. This method uses
the cam chain plate links totime the camshaft and the
dot on the cam chain drive sprocket to establish TDC
(see below,Method 1). Itis important to note that this
method can only be used when the stator is removed
andthe cam chain drivesprocket isin view. Theplate
links are not used to time the camshaft when the
flywheel is installed.
*Torque bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (24.5 Nm)
*Loosen bolts evenly 180° (1/2 turn)
*Torque bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (14.7 Nm)
*From this point, tighten bolts evenly
90° (1/4 turn)
*Finally, tighten another 60° (1/6 turn)
When the stator assembly is installed, use Method 2.
This method establishes accurate Top Dead Center
(TDC) by aligningthesinglemark on the flywheelwith
the notch in the timinginspection hole (see Method 2,
Page 3.40). The camshaft sprocket alignment marks
are parallel to the gasket surface, the alignment pin
faces to the intake side, and camshaft lobes are
pointing down.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks in or near the area where refueling
is performed or where gasoline is stored.
If you get gasoline in your eyes or if you
should swallow gasoline, seek medical
attention immediately.
Ifyou spillgasoline onyour skin orclothing,
immediately wash with soap and water and
change clothing.
Always stop the engine and refuel
outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Do not overfill the tank. The tank is at
full capacity when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler neck. Leave room
for expansion of fuel.
Never start the engine or let it run in an
enclosed area. Gasoline powered engine
exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness and death in
a short time.
Never drain the float bowl when theengine
is hot. Severe burns may result.
JETTING GUIDELINES
Changesinaltitudeandtemperatureaffect airdensity,
whichisessentiallythe amountof oxygenavailablefor

the air is more dense and has more oxygen. Inhigher
elevations and higher temperatures, the air is less
dense with reduced oxygen.
Polaris ATV Carburetors are calibrated for an altitude
of0-6000ft.(0-1800meters)andambient
temperatures between +40 and +80° F(+5° to +26°

CAUTION:
A main jet that is too small will cause a lean
operating condition resulting in serious engine
damage. Select the correct main jet carefully for
elevation and temperature according to the
charts in the Specifications section or in the
Owner’sSafety and Maintenance Manual foreach
particular model.
IMPORTANT:The following guidelines must be
followed when establishing a main jet setting:
1.Select the lowest anticipated temperature at
which the machine will be operated.
2.Determine the lowest approximate altitude at
which the machine will be operated.
3.Select the correct mainjet from the chart on page
