Change Polaris Xplorer Rear Chain and Sprocket

How To: New rear chain and sprocket set on a Polaris Xplorer. Last one lasted about 400 miles of trail riding. This video should be the same for the 300 or 400L engines, years 1995-1999 (I am not 100% sure the years).
I picked up the parts on Amazon for $55. Just search for: Polaris Xplorer 400L Gold O Ring Chain & Rear Sprocket Set
Don't forget to set the chain tension: • How to Set Polaris Xpl...

Thanks for the video. I have a 97 polaris xplorer 300 4x4 and this is the only vid out there I could find to help do this job. Down to earth, simple and a major help. Thanks again.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Glad it helped. I was tired of videos with dead time. I try to get right to the point.

[@frankie3904]

Thanks for a great video. I like how you taught us to actually see the wear on parts. Very knowledgeable.....

[@matthewnelson1147]

This video nailed it. Well done Max.

I have a polaris magnum 425 similar year.. looks like this shoild work! Regardless it was a great video.. clear and straight to the point

[@adrew1963]

very good cam work and explaining point by point,well done

[@bottomfeeder9023]

Thank you so much for making this video, by far the best video explaining how to do this on KZbin. Any way you could show how to do the front chains and sprockets also ?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I could, but those wear out like 4 to 1 compared to the rear. They are also a PIA to do and I just did the originals (29 yrs old), so I don't expect to do it again on the life left in this.

Thanks for this video. Very helpful.

[@adrew1963]

yeah and thanks this is sure going to help me

[@Jayfitzable]

I notice my output sprocket was loose and used this video for help getting the old one off. It's still loose on the shaft. Thinking the tore up the teeth on the shaft should it have play or do I need a new shaft?

[@nathandewittmusic3272]

Where did you get your kit, what are they going for these days? Thanks

[@SurferJoe46]

NEVER reverse a hook-toothed sprocket! It can grab the chain as it leaves and do a lot of damage. If it's hooked --- replace it.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Excellent advice. Don't be cheap people. I believe I said you could as people have done it.

[@adrew1963]

my 22mm open end wrench has to be fat as heck ,I have been grinding her down just need more patience which is a tall order today

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Yeah, I bet. I have a harbor freight cheap wrench that was thinner.

Nice vid

Wth on the brake rotor after I took the bolt off for me in the middle of the splines the metal comes up amd keeps the rotor from coming past how did yours just slide off mine prevents everything from coming off and that's where I'm stuck I dont know how else to get the chain and sprocket off

[@johhnffkkfmfm4053]

where can i get those rubber o rings??? i am trying to rebuild my magnum 425 4x4

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Sorry for the late reply. I am not sure what o rings you are referring to. Harbor Freight or your local hardware store should have them. You can always google it to find what they are.

What year was this explorer

[@handheldgarage3297]

Looks like he "forgot to do this" with the grease fitting.

[@reyessilva4134]

Where do you buy your parts from?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I got my chain and sprocket kit on Amazon of all places. Raceface was the brand sold by a few sellers.

[@SurferJoe46]

@@MakerMaxCorbett Don't buy the parts from Polaris! One of their sprockets costs more than a brand name full chain and sprocket kit!

[@prestongriffin416]

good video until the PART NO HELMET OR GEAR NOT SMART

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

When tooling around the yard at 5mph I don't wear it. I do while out riding, but yes for the internet I should have.
