Good luck with the new machine. I would buy the Polaris Gold synthetic oil. I use this in my 400 sport and never had a problem yet. It is a little pricey, but your machine is worth it. I also use a polaris chain wax. I get in the water a lot and this stuff works great. After a year of good riding, my chain is like brand new. Just don't be afraid to use the stuff. Everytime you get wet use it.

 

hi bill I use polaris gold in my 400 exp no smoke no smell and mayhem is right for the amount it uses, big deal! the snomo guys at SNOW TECH swear by TORCO SYNTHETIC OIL or KLOTZ TECHNIPLATE

 

Snow-Tech also recomends Phillips 66 INJEX oil for snowmobiles.

I just bought some Bel-Ray chain wax today going to try it out. I have used Maxima Chain wax before and it did not protect the chain enough in deep mud conditions ( I am talking about riding a whole weekend in the swamp not a trail crossing). But then again that is severe service.

BILL, check out part number #2872655 front end spacers for your new quad . They use the standard springs. This part is made for plow and winch add on's to keep the front end from sagging.

 

Odin,is that part# the rubber spacers you refer to?If so ,my dealer allready informed me of them,thank you,===BILL

 

Yes that is the part # for the rubber spacer.

I just got done working on my Xplorer myself. I dropped the main jet one size to a 200 and it really perked the machine up. I am getting ready for this weekends quad battles in Wisconsin. I was getting the evil eye from all of the tree huggers in my neighborhood. But hey F them.


Bill I downloaded the entire 400 Xplorer parts list from the Polaris site if you would like a copy let me know. We two cycle guys need to stick together.

Maybe I'll see in da UP some time you Troll breath Flatlander.

 

Odin,you and I will be conversing alot.I will break the Xplorer in correctly.I may want more ''JUICE'' out of this quad,so I'll be checking to see what works for you. [Guinei Pig]Im so glad you owned yours first.About the ride in the UP?It probably will happen.Myself,brother John,and 4 others are planning a trip to the UP in mid August.Im wondering how far Flood Runner is from the UP of Michigan to?It'd be sorta good to ride with him as well.===BILL

 

The Mud Runners got to my house today for the Xplorer,and the dealership got the EBS in also.We are hoping that the plow comes in tommorrow.That would mean I can either pick it up late Friday or Early Saturday morning.COOOoooollllll======BILL

 

Bill, Afriend of mine has a 400 also. He added a pipe,K&N filter,a roller clutch and differant clutch weights and that thing is like a rocket. He has had it for over a year and it's never been back for mechanical repairs, just crash repair. Becareful they will fly.
