Just bought a nice 05 sportsmen 500 HO it only has 70 hours on it! some one man had it and been in storge for 2 years... Is there anything i should do to this quad like oil chage or any info would be great. First time having a polaris so dont no much about them.

 

was it stablized when it was stored? if not then it will have bad fuel in it that needs to be drained and fuel system either cleaned or flushed out. you might be lucky enough not to have any issuse w/ it. depending on when the fluids were changed, it wouldn't need changing because of sitting unless mositure got into it. imo

 

Im not sure if they put stablized in it or not... it seems to run good i have not rode other then in the yard but seem like it runs good so i would say the gas is ok right?

 

I would drain the tank and refil. It is not worth it if the fuel was bad. I have an 05 and it is a great machine. Oil change, air filter change and fresh fuel and you should be good for 12 months. Change the fron differentail and transmission oil at 100 hours.

Mobil 1 0w 40w oil, NAPA oil filter 51358 or Wix 1358.

 

Or Fram 6017a

 

Might want to check out the thread about the mice if it was stored in the country or a rural area.

pour 4 ounces of seafoam in a full tank of fresh gas, will help clean it out, I also do thisevery couple monts just to keep some in the fuel system, seafoam is the best stuff for keeping fuel systems clean and stabil

 

I would run the seafoam through it also,even though its running good, its amazing stuff. 2 years check the air box for mice houses. LOL Do a oil change also, sythetic 0w-40 only and get a work manual and check all fliud levels. 70hr whats that ,only 700-1000 miles?
