sp700 owners.... something you need to inspect .
#1
Hello everyone,
I had the side plastic off of the gear selector side today and found a problem that ya'll could also have.
The first swivel {heim joint}on the linkage has a bolt connecting it to the shifter. On mine this bolt has been rubbing against the plastic fuel tank. I loosened the gear selector bracket on the frame,pulled it away from the tank, and snugged it back up...simple fix! EVERYONE PLEASE take a look at yours because if this does cause a leak, it will fall right on the exhaust pipe.
If anyone else finds this problem, reply to this post and I will contact Polaris.
thanks, Dale MY PICS

I found that mine was also rubbing against the fuel tank, but only if I was putting inward pressure on the shifter when shifting. As long as I put a little outward pressure on the shifter when shifting, it would clear by about a 1/8". I will say that I have learned more from these forums than one could imagine. It's getting a little old though, telling the mechanics what problems to look for and how to fix them.

Hello again,
I called Polaris and E-mailed them and also contacted my dealer about the possible fuel tank leak. Everyone seemed concerned and said they would address the problem.
I appreciate the compliments for the correct usage of this forum, and would like to say, it's a shame you had to compliment me for that.
And to VeryPicky,
I have also learned alot from these forums. I think it is extremely beneficial for 1st year quad owners like ourselves. For instance, my dealer is very small and has only recieved and sold 2 sp700's, so the only problems he knows of is mine and that other guys.
I told him about this forum and how it could benefit him, he agreed and will read this I'm sure. I personally look as this forum as a tool![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]:[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
