Does any one here spin there rear tires on ice, snow, or mud and have there front tires kick into 4 wheel drive when the 4x4 is switch is off???????????

 

I have read here about that happening. I was just doing the two wheel donuts last weekend on numerous occasions. There were two of us both on SP700's and it never happened to either.

 

My buddys 03 700 does it to him all the time. It's like the first bit of slipage and the fronts are kicking in. Oh well, it's his problem and not mine.

 

I have also read about this on various forums. It seems that when the front diff is really cold (below freezing temps) it can happen. After the quad has been used and the oil has warmed up, the problem seems to dissapeer. I have also heard of poorly informed people/mechanics who have used differential oil in the front differential. That does kinda make sense, dos'nt it? Sorry, but since the hilliard clutch is now part of the front diff on the 600/700, it requires that Polaris hub fluid or ATF be used (ATF runs like water wereas Diff fluid runs like honey) and not 90 weight diff fluid. This will also cause the same problem.

 

Well every time it kicks in it bends my front drive shalf and brakes the internal parts of my front end!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ask what type of fluid your dealer is using. Some of the mechanics are quite ignorant and have been using diff fluid for many years in all the polaris machines. Personally I have never had this problem but then again I am in 4x4 99.9% of the time so I will never see it.

 

Hey randy I have a 02-700 and yes this has happend to me a few times but only when its cold.If you ride it a bit it should stop.....
