Hi all I own a 2000 Polaris Trailblazer 250. It is a 2 stroke, and im more used to caring for a four stroke. Im not sure what all needs to be greased, oiled, checked, etc, every day or week or month or year. Does anyone have just a basic maintenance routine they do for thier tb 250?

 

99' tb and I normally check oil level everytime I fill it up...umm chain lube probably once a month

 

After evey ride I grease the rearend ,swingarm, upper steering bushing, ball joints and tie rod ends. I drowned the chain with 30w oil (oil is the best thing to keep the orings plyable). Then I us a silicon spray on all the controls, cables and shift linkage. I usually check the chain every ride and the 2 stroke oil and the spark plug every other ride. We've had the 250 for a year now so I changed the oil and fuel filters but still need to do the gear case oil. It takes a while to clean up and do all this to both bikes but when we want to go ride I know that the bikes are ready.

 

I usually fill up the oil in it every time I fill it up with gas .Grease the fittings and chain every other ride.check tire pressure every ride.

 

How do u grease the fittings? is there a grease thing i put it on, or do it do it freely?

 

Just hook your gun to the zerk fittings on the rear bearing housing, rear pivots, tie front pivots etc.

 

keep an eye on the air filter too.

 

You should buy some Polaris 2 stroke oil, and check the level frequently. Be sure to grease everything about every week or so. The swingarm is very difficult to grease, for there is little room to fit much of anything into. Be sure to get the one in the light cover, just below the center of the handlebars. Just pump the grease until you hear a little bubbly noise or you see grease coming out. Oil the chain generously, and make sure that it is not too tightly adjusted. Get someone of your approximate weight to sit on the back of it, and adjust the chain to where it is semi tight. To adust the chain, remove the two large bolts at the end of the swingarm, just left of the back sproket. Turn the axle to adjust the chain's tightness. Replace the bolts. Check the air filter often. That's about it, I think.


Note:The Trail Blazer is NOT a utility vehicle, and shouldn't be used to haul heavy loads. (I used to haul wood with mine, and it developed a loud popping noise, and in the end, it cost me $450 dollars to fix.) Also, the TB has 4 wheel, single lever disk brakes, meaning that when you pull the brake lever, all of the wheels are being braked, not just the front one.
