I have a 2002 polaris 500 that I just bought as a holdover and am wondering what is the best way to break it in. I have been driving around my house for the past 2 weeks waiting til I have enough money for a trailer and have gone through 2 tanks of gas. I have heard you are supposed to change the oil after 2 tanks, I have heard you are supposed to break it in like you plan on riding it. I have not beat on it yet and was wondering what I should do if anything now that I have about 10 hours of riding on it.

 

after about 15-20 hrs you should change all the fluids,and then ride it like you stole it..

 

Is it ok to run it open throttle before 20 hrs.?

 

well some say yes some say no,when i first got mine id open it up but wouldnt hold it open long
