AMEN!

Any dealership around the MD/DC/VA area? Cuz I did the same dang gone thing. Its stripped. I think it is really a poor **** design. I REALLY LIKE POLARIS but... on this
one, they need to do something about it. No issues on the SP450!

When I changed my tranny fluid today on my 800, at about 25 hrs because of Silent chain rubbing drain plug, doe's anyone know how much play should be in the chain. I can put my finger in the drain hole, touch the chain and there is slack.More than I think there should be. Mind you, I have had this replaced once under warranty and the atv only has 1200 miles.

Thank's for your help. I did grind the plug down some

 

i ground mine down as well. i think i read that there is no adjustment onthe slient chain and mine had tons of slack as well.

 

Thank's for the reply Stendori, that make's me feel a bit better. I'm leavin for Hatfields on Friday and have been thru the whole bike. I replaced the ball joint's, wheel bearing's removed every connector applied dielectric grease. This is the third trip for this rig and it's been great to me.

 

Outback where you all going? We just got back from Little Coal river about a month
ago.

Stendori, how much should be grinded down on the plug? What do you gauge it by?

Thanks,

R'

 

on the drain for the trans. there is a magnet that is in the plug and you have to grind it down enough so the magnet no longer will stay in the grooves of the plug. i just took it down to a point where the where marks from the chain were gone.

 

Is this also a problem for the SP500 or SP700's? My other cuz has the 06' 800 Sportsman too. I am assuming he is at risk?

Thx,

R'

 

i didnt see any rubbing on my 06' plugs when i change the fluids so maybe its ok.

 

We are heading back to Rockhouse (Browning Fork) and Bearwallow for sure. May make the trek over to Buffalo mtn if time permits. We also will ride some local trail's that have been shown to us.
