Exclamation just got my first predator?....

Whats up guys? I had just recently traded my 2000 scrambler 2X4 400 for a 2003 Predator ( straight up) ... Was wondering if any one could tell me a thing or two about these bikes? dont really know much about them ( not even sure how to really check the oil ) and all i know about this thing is he brought it over it starts right up and runs, rode it, its fast and shifts threw all the gears smoothly... Just trying to find out if theres any thing i need to look out for on these? the pros and cons of this bike. Any help and commits would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys

I would get an owners manual and thumb through it, that should show all the info that you need. Nice looking machine!

If you go under the Polaris website and make an account you should be able to access the owners manual for the machine. That will be the most helpful if you want to know maintanace and oil type and fill locations. Always good to swap out all the oil and grease it up good when you get a new machine.

sounds like a good tade. I have a friend that had an 03 with well over 5,000 miles. then got an 05 and now an 08 outlaw... Rides the hell out of them and has never really had problems with it
