way out here,thats not correct,way to tight,check your shop manual, it's inch lbs. not ft. lbs. wayout,out..................

 

I have a 99 Polaris Sportsman with 15,000 miles and replaced no parts other than a few back boots. I love the AWD system, has never let me down. Change the fluid in it every year.

The only way i can see a polaris hub locking up is no oil in them. Bearings got to hot and seized together and hung up. Polaris is the best machine i have owned, honda can keep all there crap machines. dang engines fall apart, and bearings go out all the time.

 

Just a silly thought but has anyone ever thought of lowering the gearbox in the frame.To straiten up the axles ? or would it even help.

 

500power,

What you claim would go a long way in being convincing if you had more than 2 posts. Not calling you a liar, just show me something to back it up?

 

I'll back the possibility of the milage anyway. My 99 scram has over 20,000 miles on it if you add up the 3 speedometers. First one quit workin and the last 2 liked trees. I haven't put anymore back on it. It got expensive. I have been riding for nearly 3 years without one now. But I haven't put near the miles on it as of late. Between getting married and all the adventures that come with that and all my buddies kinda going the same route the 5 hour rides 2-3 days a week don't happen anymore.
