I saw on another site that some Honda's have a primer for cold weather starting. Does Polaris have a primer for this purpose? Also, how do you fellas start your Polaris in say, -25C weather? BL

 

Choke it and hit the starter. Mine starts right up.

 

My 400 started in -35*F with the choke and electric start. That's -37*C for the canadians.

 

-10 in the Michigan U.P. and my 400 started ok with a choke and a turn of the key.

 

polaris has choke which is just as good as a primer. They will start in any degree of weather with choke.

 

i dont even use my choke, i just give it gas once it starts to turn over..i dont knwo if it's bad for it but i've been doing it since i got my quad and it still runs fine so yeah

 

Just be careful in the extreme cold, the battery won't hold out long cranking a cold engine. But that's why the non-twins have a pull start.

 

I used to own a '97 Scrambler 500 4x4 and even in temps as cold as -20* F it fired right up. Just make sure you let the engine warm up a bit before you ride it hard.
Polaris' 0w-40 oil aids in cold weather starting.
