To prime or not to prime. That is the question?
I was going to do my first oil change on my Sportsman 500 this weekend, and I had a few questions. I stopped by yesterday and purchased the oil change kit from my dealer and I was looking over the instructions and it stated that the oil pump must be primed if the oil hose between the tank and pump has been disconnected. Is this mandatory to disconnect the oil hose? Also would any of you suggest draining the crankcase? A friend of mine said that it was a total waste of time. It was hard to get to and hardly and oil came out once he drained his. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
