Just purchased a 2006 Sportsman 450 our first ATV. Have had motorcycles all my life and do most of my own work so want to do this on the ATV as well. Going to change out all the fluids and have a service manual on the way but want to get started. On this yr/model do the tranny and rear differential share the same fluid (one unit) and does this one have the hubs that have fluids in them ot just the standard bearings? Thanks for any help.

 

Tranny and rear diff combined. Use Polaris AGL fluid. Has the centralized awd in the front diff,use Demand Drive hub fluid for this.

 

Thanks for the info. So I just need to drain the front diff per the manual and fill without having to take anything else apart concerning the hubs correct? I do have the demand drive fluid for the front end.

 

Correct.

 

Thanks again. Going to change the coolant as well and run Prestone 50/50 in my bike. This would be ok in the ATV as well wouldn't it?

 

All most all coolant is ok for aluminum radiators now. Whether it's 50/50 of your brand choice or 60/40 as Polaris uses.Either one is ok to use.

 

Here is a manual for the 07 450, dhould be the same.
