Polaris Sportsman 570 2014 Grease and Lube Information

This video show where the lube and grease zerks are and how to reach them and lube the machine. There are a total of 9 zerks, one on the driveshaft which is the hard one to reach, one on each of the front A bars, 3 on each of the rear A bars. Tools needed are the grease gun (s), grease (I used Polaris brands), a ratchet set with long 11 mm sockets, T20 torx screw driver and tool to remove plastic rivets if you need to remove right side panel. Make sure you clean each zerk head thoroughly before greasing. I use a paper towel and even a small toothbrush soaked with carb cleaner. There are other videos out there but the tough zerk is on the drive shaft and I hope this helps. I will be experimenting with some alternative zerk grease gun adapters to see if they make life easier. I don't do this for money. I will answer questions. Please don't leave hateful comments.

Thanks for showing us how it’s done (& where all the fittings are). I appreciate your taking the time to put this vid together. Very helpful.

Thank you sir ! Great video, very well explained and very comforting to hear tou refer back to the manual. Seems like alot of people online forget to go through their bloody manuals !

Rotorhound, thanks for this video. I will grease my Sportsman 570 soon. I hadn't done it yet. I hear a slight squeaking from my ATV while riding and it sounds like a belt but I'll check it out tomorrow. New Subscriber! Thanks for the Sportsman 570 video and tips. Have a fine week.

You can reach the drive shaft zerk through the bottom of the atv. A rag, grease, and the grease gun was all I needed to hit all nine with a couple pumps.

Raymond Kui I will have to check mine again but I didn't see a way to do that from the bottom. You have it on a lift?

hi great vid and very useful info. I have a couple zerks that are seized and not passing grease. can you tell me what size to buy to replace them, please?

[@TheRotorhound]

55vdub i am not sure what size they are so you will have to remove them. They sell pressure tools to clear them. Harbor Freight sells an assortment of various sizes in metric and sae so it should be "easy" to replace. Most of the Polaris stuff is metric. Hope this helps.

Did you use the U-joint grease on the first zerks in the beginning of the video?

[@TheRotorhound]

I used the u-joint grease only on the u-joint. So, three squeezes on the one joint. For all the rest of the fittings I used the polaris general purpose grease. This is what is in the manual. It may be a little different now getting to the fitting as there was a recall to keep from burning your right leg and removing the right foot panel may be more work. They don't make these easy to work with.
