I always take the rear skid plate off. Make way less of a mess. 7 T40 bolts & it snaps right off.

Good idea for sure!👍

[@robbyorr122]

Again very informative. Great video. Thank you

[@jodytucker4474]

Yeah, oil goes everywhere!! I take the skid plate off now when I change fluids, it’s ALOT cleaner!!!

[@RideTheEarthnow]

Good idea!!

[@jodytucker4474]

It’s just best to remove all the skid plates I’ve learned.

@@RideTheEarthnow just got 2022 sportsman 850 trying to break in.

[@RideTheEarthnow]

@@bigl355 nice, and yeah the break in is important but annoying l, I am sure you just want to ride it! Ha ha ha

[@bigl355]

@@RideTheEarthnow yep I guess I will change all fluids at 25 hours when I change oil . Manual says 100 hours for the other 3 but that seems like a long time. Pretty stressful

[@RideTheEarthnow]

@@bigl355 you can if you want but really after the break in the engine oil is really the only one you need to do. When I did all my fluids I was over the 100mile mark and the fluids that came out were pretty clean. I went through some deep water and mud too.

[@derperderp9036]

Thank you for the great video!!!! Do I need to do all this after my break-in period?

[@RideTheEarthnow]

Hey thanks!! As far as I know it is good to do an just an oil change. I did all the fluids because I was in some deeeep muddy water.

[@derperderp9036]

@@RideTheEarthnow yeah man. My new sportsman 1000 arrived today and I'm stressed out that I do everything correctly. lol

What’s the tune at the beginning and end!! Good “how to” vid as well bro!! Heading to Jericho tomorrow!!

[@RideTheEarthnow]

Thanks!! The tune at the beginning and end is my buddy he made it up. Glad you got something out of the video. Have fun. I. Headed to AOAA in coal township PA on Saturday.🤘🤘🤘

[@robertlinkous4189]

How much fluid do the gearcases usually take?

[@RideTheEarthnow]

For the gearcase and trans you fill it up till it oozes out. Polaris doesn't even give an amount in their videos. The manual says the Rear is 7.1oz and the front is 9.3 oz. But fill them both up till it comes out the fill hole.
