Follow what Polaris recommends ... they pay alot of people, alot of money to figure out how to make these engines last.
they pay alot of people alot of money to ensure they make money also.

I e-mailed that guy twice with no response.

My question was,

If i put on 200 miles already with factory breakin oil then mobil1 0-40, Should I drain it and dump in some regular stuf and run it to get a better ring seel.

Like I said, I got no reply from the guy...

Now I got a ton of great trouble free miles...

I wonder if the "break-in" is one size fit all.....

could the break-in recommendations have come from the assumption of things as:

You are not only breaking in the engine, so what may be a good break-in for the engine may not be good for the quad overall....(clutch, brakes, cables, suspention.......and on and on....)

I don't think the info posted for the break-in are accurate for every part on the quad, but are prolly true for the engine...my 2 cents
