Just one question for wygrizz when sealed bearings get hot what happens to the grease well
I will give you a hint the same thing that happens to oil ever heard of viscosity well it means when it gets hot it loses it have fun changing those sealed bearings...I just can't understand people change oil in cars whats the big deal about greasing your quad...

More importantly, What happens to warm bearings full of warm grease that cools instantly when crossing a creek? The grease contracts and draws water in. Ask any boater that launches a boat from a trailer.

They gave you the gun! All I got was the small grease tube to go into a small gun that I have yet to come across.For now I use the a clumsey regular gun.

WYGRIZZ,tell us Polaris owners how cheated you feel when you spend big $$ to replace your so call ''quality''none greaseable bearings.My brother John just spent nearly 400 dollars in parts/labor to have his rear wheel bearings replaced on his KQ.Now thats quality.====BILL

This is the number 1 reason I chose Honda 1st!!
BE Sure to wipe all those nipples clean so you dont Add dirt to sensitive areas.
The Polaris is like an Apache helicopter ,very fast,agile but a maint. nitemare
Honda is like the a10 (warthog..?) that takes a licken but still keeps a ticken!
Both serve a purpose, do a job but with different design and technologies.
So while your greasin' I"ll be ridding...

Grizz,

It's like asking the Rolls dealer the gas mileage. If you CAN afford the sportsman, instead of some other INFERIOR machine (no names mentioned Grizz) you can afford to have someone do it for you. I was just curious! Ride what you can afford! Also, while we in Mississippi are lubing our rides, why don't you shovel some snow instead of Grizz propaganda? I'd suggest that if you don't have anything constructive to say, stay out of the forum!
