Postby roon101 » Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:44 am

all really need to know i guess is there 2 drain plugs or one on the 500's

i know the oil tank has one but i herd that there is another one on some polaris is this the same with polaris 500s sportsmans
i looked under the bike trying to find one and the only one i could possibley think it would be right next to to the front drive line.

thanks.

There's 4 total.

1 = Engine
1 = Transmission
1 = Front Diff
1 = Rear Diff

The other plug is tucked under the foot brake and out the side not down.
Don't strip it putting it back in. Hard to get started straight.

On my 400 (same basic engine design) I only drained from the reservoir. That other one is just a pain in the ass and you really don't get a whole lot out for all the trouble it is.

I assume the 500s still use the big 'ole aluminum reservoir? My 400 was a 2001.
