2018 Polaris Sportsman 1000 Grease Frame and Suspension Zerk Fittings movie

[@rajinneger552]

MI RE Adventures, not sure if i seen it wrong but take a look at your video around 2:00 -2:04. I thought i saw a crack in the arm. Take a look because just incase it was might want to check it out.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

Good eye!! Went out to double check it and it is not broken at all just a part that comes off (welded on) right at that point. Such a quick clip of that, nice catch on your end.

[@jtarman70]

how often do you recommend greasing these? I greased mine yesterday but after watching your vid realize I missed a few. I had no idea how many there were, I was just looking for them. Probably should've washed it first ,lol

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

We do em whenever the machines get squeaky, after a wet ride or when it has been a few hundred miles.

[@jtarman70]

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean appreciate it

[@livingwaterutube]

Agree. Wasn't sure how you get the 2 in back which are close to the metal...hard to get fitting on it without running into metal.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

We have a 90 degree grease gun fitting for some of the tough spots close to metal

[@tpike46w]

I believe there is another zerk (20) on the shifter, from the right side of machine

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

Thanks for the heads up to check for it!

[@NorthCountryBoyz]

Great video to get out there! I need to start doing up some service videos for the Sportsman...though once I actually do the work I realize I didn't take any video. LOL.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

I have a few more to post, not the best at it but figure if I can do the work most anyone can. Saves some pretty good money over the long haul even more when you have more than one to keep up with.

[@NorthCountryBoyz]

MI RE Adventures I completely agree there! I try to do most of my work but sometimes I just don’t have the “time” so if it’s not basic I ship it off. Which definitely gets silly expensive! 👎🏼

[@JCunningham21]

thank you. i was looking for a video on those upper fronts. i have a 14 850 Sportsman. same set up

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

The extension for it made it a lot easier

[@derperderp9036]

I just got a 2022 and I can't find them.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

Thanks for tuning in! They went to automotive grade bushings at some point so you may not have them! Enjoy!

[@Mr.majic_cracker]

What about the prop shaft? Cant imagine that was easy

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

The prop shaft was a little tough but not as tough as the top front were. The top front got a lot easier once we got the extension

[@Swindy1794]

I’m told my 2024 sportsman 1000 has No grease fittings … supposedly “sealed bushings”… doesn’t exactly put a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart of reliability.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

It seems most of the newer/new atvs are going this route. Our newest machines did as well and so far have been great. The Polaris 1000 was kinda a pain with getting to a few grease locations so hopefully these non grease machines are a lot easier!

[@crazyflyboy30]

I got now I can grease my Sportsman XP 1000 in just a few minutes with it sitting on the ground and still can slide under to do the prop shaft. And don't forget about the wheel bearings , use a 44 mm EPI EX GREASER for that.

[@themusicman630]

crazyflyboy30 I have a 2019 cant find front prop shaft fitting

[@crazyflyboy30]

@@themusicman630 it's only one on the yoke that slides on the front out put shaft coming out front side of the transmission and to find it must slide under the right side and look at the yoke on the driveshaft then be careful because you must have the 4 wheeler in Neutral to roll back or forward to get the grease fitting pointing straight down then put it in Park and then grease it

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

We got the same way, doing it pretty quick

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

Nice explanation

[@ScottMcLinden]

great video thank u

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

Thanks for watching

[@MyATVlife]

Front upper control arms suck ! Doesn't look like Polaris has improved that from my 2015.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

No, ridiculous how hard they can be to get at
