Well to make a long,nice, entertaining story short, I just need advice on what to do to the scram after its been getting stuck in mud and completly covered in it all day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]Finally got it out, went to the carwash, cleaned it. Now my question is can i wait to grease before i ride sun. or should i do it now? (for whateva reason) Any parts or places i NEED/SHOULD take apart and make sure there clean (im no mechinac) and working properly? What do you guys do after you experience a day like i have today [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Guys - LATE !

 

Clean it up (and you ) and Ride!! Doy your regular maint stuff and all should be well. you might want to check to make sure you didn't get anything in the airbox.

ya the airbox and i would grease all fitting to make sure there isnt any water in them.. and push it out if there is.
sounds like you had a lil fun..

 

Be very cautious of powerwashing near the chain. A powerwasher will destroy your o-rings. Other than that, jsut clean it up real well. Check the airbox for sure. If it is real bad. I like to take the plastic off and make sure I get it real well. And take off the skid plates and get behind thoses. Mud likes to hide under them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Couldn't hurt to pull the CVT cover plug and make sure no mucky water found its way in there. Put it up on a slight incline so that the drain is at the lowest point.

 

Thats right. You lucky SOB's got a drain plug[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

Make sure you clean the mud off as soon as you can because it is a lot easier when it is fresh.

Grease all the zerks. I don't know if Polaris eliminated any of the zerks for '04, but there are usually ones on the a-arms, ball joints, top and bottom of steer post, 2 front U-joints, 3 zerks on the drive shaft, 2 on the swing arm and one on the axle housing. Don't forget to lube the chain (when clean) either.

If you do a lot of mudding, it is also a good idea to change your hub fluid often. If you are taking your PVT cover off as suggested earlier, I would recommend blowing your clutches off with compressed air (don't breath any of that stuff in) and wiping them clean with a rag and some brake cleaner.

 

Sounds like FUN to me !![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
