I posted this under Technical, but maybe someone on here could help instead. Does anyone on here have a pdf of an owner's manual, or a Clymer, or Haynes manual for the 1997 Polaris Xplorer 400? I need to know what the fluid capacities are in the gear cases, cooling system, etc. , along with what type and weight of lubricants to use. I know the transmission needs changing badly, the plug has a tiny wad of metal dust on the magnetic tip and the grease/oil?? is gray/black. Doesn't look like major damage, but maybe neglect of maintenance. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I want my four-wheeler to last.

 

in a transmission, expecially if the fluid has never been replaced it will have some metal dust from clutches and gears breaking in and from normal wear, as far as the grease and oil thats what happens when its time to replace it with new oil it turns greyish black.

Near the bottom. You'll have to register but it's no biggie.

 

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the link, it's exactly what I needed.
