Your right Bill I do not think polaris has a grease,belt or oil factory.Polaris just contracts out to after market suppliers that but there polaris name on their product and polaris charges big time for it.

I hear ya', I had a can of Polaris chain lube rolling around in the bed of my truck after a ride. After a heavy rain on the way home, the paper label fell off, revealing a can of someone elses lube with the name brand blocked out. Same stuff probably sells for $1.99 somewhere, but I believe I paid $6.99 for it. Rotten SOBs.

ATVing,
Food for thought.I run a aftermarket oil filter on the Sportsman ,I also run a aftermarket KN air filter to.I kept both the stock Polaris air filter and the oil filter.When warrenty work is needed,the stock air filter and oil filter get put back on before it goes to the dealership.Once the quad gets home,I re-install the aftermarket parts and put away the stock filters till next time.Doing it like this just saves me the hassle of fighting with Polaris or the dealership for not using GENUINE Polaris parts.====Bill
