1994 Polaris 300 Review and Ride

I have this cool little quad I thought I would show you guys today.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

My first full size quad was a 1993 Trail blazer 250 2 stroke. Never had a problem with it accept the pull start breaking and freezing up in winter. It burned in a barn fire and my dad bought me a new Polaris 325 4 stroke. It was complete junk. I’ve had a couple more Polaris that were 4 strokes and they were all crap. I refused to ever have another Polaris until I ran across a old 1999 scrambler 400 2 stroke recently. It’s a blast!! I think Polaris made their best machines during the 2 stroke era. I wouldn’t trade my 400 2 stroke for a brand new Polaris

Just bought this same 94 300 4x4 and am fixing it up. Can't wait to ride it and possibly upgrade the front lighting with some small LEDs like this machine.

[@BrapStuff]

Sweet ride man! These old Polaris wheelers are just awesome! Thank you for sharing!!

[@REDRUM12345678910]

That was my first 4 wheeer, loved that thing rode the wheels off of it.

I know this a 5 year old post, but I'm curious how you mounted your winch. I just picked up a super clean version of the same quad.

[@Ricky4-2-0]

This is the exact quad i have! just need to fix it now

[@grandcrappy]

Howdy, U will double or triple engine life if U ride real easy just for a couple minutes to allow gradual parts expansion. I scuffed à piston, that is how I learned.

[@austinevans5387]

I have the same quad... any possibility u know where the stator wires plug into? Bought mine in pieces and cant seem to figure it out

[@LelandsFarm]

There should be a three pin plug that it plugs into if i remember correctly.

[@austinevans5387]

There is the three pin plug but there is also about 3 or 4 other wires and I'm not sure where they will be located on the "fuse box"

[@austinevans5387]

Maybe get a close pic of ur fuse box for me and I can try to narrow it down

[@LelandsFarm]

I sold that quad years ago sorry, I cant get a picture

[@grandcrappy]

U shouldn't ride à cold engine hard, way shortens engine life.

[@tomhinklejr.5055]

How does the chains hold up too abuse? I rode one of the original models in the mid to late 80's, and liked it, but was always worried about how long the chain would hold up, vs a shaft drive.

[@tannermckown2489]

Mine still has the original ones, haven’t had any issues. Thing runs like a champ! Only downside is keeping them tight. The front wheel drive chain is a pain in the ass to get to.

[@TheTmanator123]

In my experience working at a polaris dealership, chains hold up way longer than shaft drive. Grease and tighten them once a year and you'll never have problems

[@TheNorthernRedneck]

Very nice, Im not sure if this page is still active but i may be picking up one exactly like yours and i was wondering if you have and tips or things to look out for on them?

[@BepBepStev]

What kind of oil are you running in it? I just bought a 1995 one with a two stroke and cant find any information on it oil wise. The people i bought it from were going to fix it years ago and never touched it since they bought it. Edit: Man checking the prices yall paid for them is crazy. I got mine for a steal of a friggen deal then. i only paid 250 for mine, all it needs is a main seal, crab work, and an ignition switch (which the dealers want to fuck with me because I dont have proof of purchase.)

[@LelandsFarm]

BepBepStev any 2 stroke oil will do, and nice buy man!

[@ndanieltx]

2 stroke score. Super easy to work on and even rebuild without all that stupid valvetrain.

[@BepBepStev]

@@ndanieltx Yea. I got mine up and running and use pennzoils 2 stroke oil. Runs like an absolute top, and I fixed the brakes and electrical earlier this year. Put some new tires on it as well. Last think I need to do is build a clutch cover, replace the tie rods, and clean the carb out once more, since the float is stuck.

[@gabbleredneck6318]

It goes flys because it’s a two stroke 😂

[@Matt-fj4yv]

I know this is an old video, but where do I put in the gear oil? Hopefully you see this thanks

[@LelandsFarm]

Matt Gear oil for the trans?

[@Matt-fj4yv]

Don’t they take gear oil in the crank case? My old yz did wasn’t sure if it took gear oil. But yes that too where is that located?

[@LelandsFarm]

Matt if it’s a 2 stroke then no oil in the crankcase, just injection oil keeps it lubed. The trans is located just behind the right footwell cover.

[@Matt-fj4yv]

Trans was completely dry. Thank you for telling me before it blew up! I appreciate the help.

[@kbmotorsportsonline]

@@LelandsFarm I stumbled across this video, so others may as well. The 350 and 400 liquid cool two strokes utilizes 10w30 engine oil. The dipstick to check level is between the carb and cylinder. Majority of the units I've seen had nasty oil that's never been changed in 2-3 decades.

[@nickphipps06]

I’m about to buy one, should I?

[@blakebrown3113]

where did you get all the parts for the motor

[@dennydecker2730]

LelandsFarm what location is it in

[@2stroke2000]

Top speed?

[@RE5niggajoedickballs]

Is that the fan I hear when you turn the key on? Is it supposed to be on all the time?

[@LelandsFarm]

Connor Wall there’s supposed to be a temperature sensor for the fan, but mine was broken. So I wired mine directly to the key.

[@carterlyons4026]

LelandsFarm how did u do that I have a 350l that I’m working on and the fan won’t work I think because of the wiring

[@LelandsFarm]

I just took my multimeter and found a wire that got power after the key was turned on, I replaced the old fan with some new waterproof fans that took less power to run.

[@Son_of_the_south2024]

I have the same one but my clutch is bad abs they want over $600 for a new one

[@dontcare1019]

Really it's a 2 stroke but you don't mix gas?

[@LelandsFarm]

Smalley's Tree Service 2019 it mixes the gas for you with the carb

[@brianjosephson8549]

i just bought a 300, motors are noisey.

[@ndanieltx]

That is not noise. It is a 2 stroke man. Way faster than a 4. That is the sound of victory.

[@2strokejunkie686]

@@ndanieltx he is probably referring to the fin raddle, or maybe his had case of piston slap, but I agree with the sound of victory haha I eat sleep and breath 2 strokes, from street bikes to MX bikes along with both 3 and 4 wheelers. Own over a dozen vintage 2 strokes along with a few Evo, and modern machines...nothing like the power application of a 2 stroke🍻
