Has any body seen this and know how to fix or what the problem is. Seems like it leaks after it has set overnight or maybe longer, after riding it. Seems like it only leaks a certian amount, not continuous.

Example... Rode one day, checked next day nothing, next day had a small puddle. Rode a little yesterday thenparked on driveway for several hours, rode to neighbors house, no leak, Checked this morning after being parked all night and had a small puddle.

Thanks in advance.
Phil

Sounds like your water pump seal is gone. Just replaced it in my SP500. The jobs not too bad, but get the special tools from Polaris to do the job. If you need any help let me know. Good luck

Well I guess I will take it in to the shop next week if possible. It is still under warranty. the only thing that pi$$e$ me off is that I just bought it a month ago.

Did this fix the problem on yours.

Thanks.
Phil

Yes, it did, haven't seen a drip since. Dealer wanted $200 to fix it. I did it for around $40 I believe (borrowed the tools). My SP500 had a 1000 miles on it when it went, I'd be pi$$ed too. At least it won't cost you anything, except the time to take it there and back. Good luck

CreekRunner,


My neighbor had the same problem took back to dealer and had it back few days later. It was under warranty and has had no problems since. should be no big deal.
