I have recently acquired a 2000 sportsman 500 and have been researching it thoroughly. Seems like like every thread I pull up about polaris OPT has the answer.
Just wanted to thank OPT for the time he spends helping us out.

 

For sure! Lots of great info that is given. Lots a time answering all the questions.

 

Well its is proven that Polaris repair personal have the longest and busiest work days of any other mechanic in the Industry. So he sure would know his stuff. LOL

 

Yep, if there's an expert in the forums, he'd get my vote.

Heck, he can even help out with those other pesky brands too.

 

The Honda, Yamaha,Suzuki dealers close to us were just as busy! Anything made by man can and will break. Preventative maintenance was a word that a lot of people didn't know.I talked to a lot of other shops techs and they had their own horror stories,so I didn't feel alone

 

The way OPT shares his experience is super. This forum is a winner. Thanks OPT.

 

nice!

I mean... that's not nice

 

Thanks a ton for helping us all out OPT!! It is really appreciated.

 

Agreed - he's helped me out a ton and it is very appreciated!

 

Yep, the key to keeping anything going reliably is changing the fluids and lubing it according to the owner's/service manual. My only complaint on Polaris, is the price of their lubricants, especially the front diff and tranny lubricants.
