New user to the forum here. I just purchased a new 700 EFI last Friday. I love this thing!!!

The techie side of me noticed on page 44 of user manual how to get into diagnostic mode of electrical and EFI system. My 700 had a build date of 4.19.04 and firmware was v. 2.1.

Is this what everyone else has? I'm curious how many revisions there have been since release last year.

I hope to put in 4 days of good riding this upcoming weekend.

Could someone who uses Amsoil here point me in the right direction on what Amsoil equivalents I need to use for transmission and gear oil? I've already got the engine oil.

Thanks!

I don't know about the "firmware" but as far as the oil goes, I would stick to the Polaris oil. I don't work for Polaris or anything, but you could loss your warranty if you use that oil to my understanding. Also its not but about $5 bucks more, and you know that oil will work. However if you live far away from a dealer, you may want to use a different brand of oil. This is just what I do. Welcome to the forums!

 

I've got a build date of 12-5-03 and also have the 2.1 V. So this version has been around for awhile. As for the oil, I think any type of quality synthetic would work just fine.. Personally, I use Castrol Syntec with the Napa Gold filter.

 

V 2.3
Oil, read the owners manual or was it the service manual. I forget the API oil code but if I rememeber rite it says 0-40w with the proper API rating. Filter, well filter is as filter does, Napa gold w/Amsoil.

Some things ya'll might wanna check. Behind left front tire rite above coolant bottle. Check the fuel line, its rubbing on the frame, check the coolant hose and the plug wires they are also rubbing on the frame. Also L & R side frame (key word side) one bolt missing on each side. very front up under radiator in front of A-arm tab.

 

Napa Gold-1357 Its the same filter that fits the Carb 700 and the 600 same block, hence same oil requirements.

I do not know what the filter number for the napa is, but the Amsoil number is SMF103.

 

I wish I'd have seen this thread last week. I now have a hole in the fuel line from rubbing on the frame so all you EFI owners better get out and check this. The frame rubbed a groove in the line and it sprays fuel when running but doesn't leak when sitting. Now I have to make a trip to the dealer so they can fix it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

YEs, Yes and Yes!

The plastic wire loom that is on those items next to the frame WILL rub through!
Just rememeber an ounce of prevention goes a long way.

 

Almost forgot, the right side of the air box. Ground cable rubbing on side of box.

 

my firmware is 2.1 made on 2/16/04
