Polaris Sportsman 800 repair and full Service.

[@NicholasLehoux]

Saving this video for when I need to fix my quad, thank you for all the info your sharing about this machine

[@rockspowersports]

No problem, glad to help.

[@buckymolina4452]

Your videos always help me out a lot. Keep it up

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad to hear that.

[@SweLaris]

My christmas wish list would be 2 things. That the owner of this would like a top end rebuild, and that you are the one to do it! Nice job and nice video. I have the exact same rattle in my RZR 800S. Top end rebuild will come in the spring when there is no more plowing

[@rockspowersports]

I did ask them but they didn’t want it done right now. I’m sure when they decide to have it rebuilt I’ll be the one to do it.

[@SweLaris]

@@rockspowersports Thats too bad, i hope they change their mind. Your Polaris content is the best!

[@matthewhansen5008]

Those Polaris twin engines sure had a distinctive sound.

[@jacksontincher-eq4fm]

love your channel man just started watching but you are all i watch keep up the good work man

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad to hear it! Means a lot.

[@RockingBear218]

Finally got mine back on the trail ... paid $200.00 for it but it didn't run, previous owner didnt know what was wrong with it i replace the battery and voltage regulator, oil change, new plugs, and throttle body boot, fuel pump and now it runs and drives🤘

[@leevogel4132]

Wisconsin waving! I have a 2020 polaris 850 with 1000 miles one owner and last year i started to notice a small clunk coming from the rear when starting and stopping high or low gear 2 or 4 wheel drive hot or cold. I do plow my little 30 ft driveway. All fluids changed multiple times and no sign of metal. I have seen a couple videos of possible fixes but i really like your content and wanted your opinion maybe even a video on this problem if you haven't already. And Thank you for all you do for this content.

[@martinhala2902]

best video about 800

[@yaboysamshep1470]

Love the vids man !

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad to hear it.

[@zachcooper2759]

Great video! I love the classic Polaris owner move: new belt on hand on the machine 😂

[@rockspowersports]

Gotta be prepared haha.. The newer 570/850’s belts seem to last along time but the older 800’s did eat them up pretty good if they got abused.

[@nbeck956]

great video with great details

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks!

[@Hammerback0]

The air intake tube on my old 2005 sportsman 500 cracked and i knew immediately. The engine didn't sound the same, also replaced the carb boot, that thing cracks and the machine ran terribly. Of course its carbed. (last year of carbureted machines i think) personally, i have more knowledge of fuel injection. The Mikinu factory carb misbehaved, i replaced with a 30.00 amazon unit, been great for 4 years (luckily😂)

[@MartinWaclawski]

Awesome video! Where were you able to order just the float for the gas tank sending unit?

[@allwaysgivingback9263]

Seems like the older Polaris’s were kinda ahead of there time just not built to take the abuse. But if taken care of they were pretty good machines?

[@rockspowersports]

They had the best ride out of anything and still compete with newer machines. But yes maintenance is key with any machine.

[@awaybee5516]

What’s that bottle called that you pumped fluid in the diffs with

[@Hammerback0]

Never saw that fluid reservoir on the front? Active Decent control? Is that a fancy version of the EBS on my 05 500?

[@a.c.m.e.ink.4568]

Baffles me, that people will spend a lot of money to purchase these Machines. But, then refuse the care or maintenance of them. 🤨🙄

[@rockspowersports]

Yeah, just simple fluid changes can extend the life of these by along time.

[@pier-lucblais489]

Does the oil pump always makes some noise even when functionning properly or they can make more "metal ticks" ?

[@Dawidjar]

Was the Scrambler 800 efi in series? Or it is some custom made from Sportsman 800? I can not find any info about it.

[@colinthepanamerican]

So many four wheelers that are the same year as my artic cat

[@Markomanne666]

Good job! 💪😎

[@Bacongrease00]

Is this a good quad? Looking at a used one, how many miles or hours is too much? Don’t want to buy a worn out engine

[@cris_m8]

I have a 06 700 and my rear diff calls for AGL. It looks the same as this one, what's the difference?

[@rockspowersports]

They use to call for angle drive fluid. Now they call for AGL. Both are compatible. The AGL is much thinner and a synthetic fluid.

[@cris_m8]

@rockspowersports awesome, great to know. I was being to think I screwed up and was about to burn up my diff.

[@tibizu1927]

but if there is this metallic sound coming from the engine, what should you do? Do you have to change the pistons?

[@johnnugent6516]

[@highball7347]

I have a 92 trailboss id love to get to you.

[@petewheeler3060]

Hey Rock! Do you have any Polaris Sport 400L's on your property?

[@rockspowersports]

I have a 1994 Polaris 400L 4x4 and a 350L

[@ronc3266]

awesome video ....anyone with a 2008 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI, lost my oil dip stick and polaris has them back ordered to June ....can someone give me measurement from where dip stick (pt# 1204368) seats to oil tube to end of it? i have a sportsman 700 it's 10 3/4" & i bought Pt# 1204369 ( length 11 7/8") which isn't for this one ...but it's longer so i can cut it to fit. possibly compatible to all 2008 - 2014 Sportsman, RZR & Ranger 800cc

[@DaleTerry]

Look at all the snow! Ya

[@rockspowersports]

Yeah we got a good start to the season so far.

[@DaleTerry]

@@rockspowersports I will get ahold of you when we get closer. I have never ridden on opening day. I know some people do. Thanks for keeping in touch! Keep the videos coming

[@colinthepanamerican]

What does ADC mean?

[@rockspowersports]

It means active decent control. When you have it on it applies engine braking to all 4 wheels as opposed to just the rear.

[@colinthepanamerican]

Oh okay

[@yeahright302]

was a cover band for ac/dc!!!!lol.

[@colinthepanamerican]

Lol

[@midwestmachines2629]

People may disagree but Polaris is by far the biggest money makers for shops. They have never been built with any sort of quality, unless there blow a 1999.

[@rileybrendle9978]

Quality stops at 2005 as soon as everything went to EFI its junk lol

[@Williamxmr]

#prefillgang 💪

[@UpInSmoke54]

"Sportsman 800s only hold two quarts" Are there any Polaris ATVs that hold more than 2 quarts?🤣

[@ryanyoung3539]

Very loud noise. again no hate but its a polaris

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

Polaris atvs are trash!
