MAINTENANCE

Most models use an oil and fuel filters which are of a special
design and must not be substituted. These filters should be
changed and the oil and fuel lines should be inspected annually
or every 1000 miles (1600 km).
These filters may have an arrow on the filter or line. This arrow
is the direction of flow. Install accordingly.
EDGE models utilize a special oil filter that is built into the oil
sending unit located in the bottom of the oil tank. It should be
replaced every two years or 2400 miles (3862 km).
CFI models fuel filter should be replaced every 1000 miles
(1600km).
Brake Lever Travel
The brake lever travel should have a clearance no less than 1/2”
(1.27cm) from the handlebar grip. Inspection should be made
with the lever firmly depressed. If the lever has less than this
amount you may need to bleed the brake system. See “Brake
Fluid Replacement & Bleeding” on page 7.20.
Brake Fluid
Inspect the reservoir to be sure it contains the correct amount of
fluid. Use only Polaris DOT 4 high temperature brake fluid.
Change fluid every 2 years or whenever the fluid is dark or
contamination is suspected.
See “Brake Fluid Replacement & Bleeding” on page 7.20.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can be indicated
through the sight glass on the cover. If the fluid is
low this sight glass will glow a brighter. color.
Exhaust System Removal/Installation
1. Remove the exhaust springs (1,2) with Exhaust Spring
Tool PN PU-45485.
2. Disconnect exhaust temperature sensor (3) if so equipped.
3. Remove the exhaust pipe (4).
4. Remove resonator fasteners if equipped.
5. Remove the resonator (5).
6. Replace in reverse order.
NOTE: The light gray springs (2) are made stainless
steel and should be used at the head pipe.
Manifold Installation
1. Install new exhaust manifold gaskets (8).
2. Place the exhaust manifold (7) on to the engine and torque
the mounting bolts (6) to 18 ft-lb (24 N-m).
WARNING
Do not over fill the master cylinder. Fluid expansion
could cause brakes to lock, resulting in serious injury or
death. Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what
is necessary and discard the rest. Do not store or use
a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic,
meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. This
causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to
drop, leading to early brake fade and the possibility of
serious injury
