Default Sportsman 400-800 check rear disc fasteners!

Just noticed the four bolts that hold on the rear disc on my 04.5 Sp600 were all loose and the disc could move separately from the hub. It wasn't wobbling around and didn't suffer any damage, but it's a good thing I caught it when I did. I have around 300 miles on it. I had taken off the rear wheels to adjust the springs when I noticed the problem. I plan to check the fronts before the next ride, seems as if they should have a lock washer or some other way to keep those bolts tight. Another thing, sometimes when I park the machine for the night a tube from the carb that comes out through the skid plate leaks a few drops of fuel. What's that?

You should probaly use lock-tite thread locker on your bolts to keep them tight. I had to do this on my swingarm bolts on my xplorer to keep them tight. Sometimes when you buy new bolts from Polaris they will come with a thread locker on threads. The carb could run over if you leave machine sitting for a while with the fuel shut off left on or could be something internal inside carb .

It leaks just after I shut the machine down for the day, a drop or two, just wondered if it is an indication of a carb problem. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
