Sportsman 2005 twn Just Purchased..should i change Fluids 42 Run Hrs?
#11
Thank you very much for your kind advice.
It is Great knowing that there is a support network out there.
I did drop it off to the dealer and anticipate a $250 bill. But they assured me that they would change all of the fluids and check ALL the other vitals. I feel this will give me peace of mind knowing that an expert evaluated it.
I will have it back tomorrow or Thursday and we are off to the hunting lodge on Friday!!!
I will get the manual (Thank you very much for the link) and do this with my son next time.
Thank you ALL!!!!!
Mike

Dear Old Polaris Tech,
I am looking at the specifications for the Polaris 700 Sportsman and it states "Gross Vehicle Weight" 1240 lbs. It also states "Dry Weight" 765 lbs.
Could you tell me what is the difference between the two?
I goggles the definitions and still don't understand. (I appreciate your patience)
Thanks

Dry weight is the weight of the machine with no fluids.You gotta figure 3 quarts of coolant,2 quarts of oil and filter, what oil is in the transmission and differentials,little over four gallons of gas (about 32 pounds)and maximum weight of driver and cargo is the supposed maximum gross vehicle weight or as some call it unladen weight and curb weight.
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or gross vehicle mass (GVM) is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer[1] including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers.[2] The term is used for motor vehicles and trains.
The weight of a vehicle is influenced by passengers, cargo, even fuel level, so a number of terms are used to express the weight of a vehicle in a designated state. Gross combined weight rating refers to the total mass of a vehicle, including all trailers. GVWR and GCWR both describe a vehicle that is in operation and are used to specify weight limitations and restrictions. Curb weight describes a vehicle which is "parked at the curb" and excludes the weight of any occupants or cargo. Dry weight further excludes the weight of all consumables, such as fuel and oils. Gross trailer weight rating specifies the maximum weight of a trailer and the gross axle weight rating specifies the maximum weight on any particular axle.
