I was very fortunate and bought a couple of essentially new 2002 Kodiak 400s a month ago. I have a service manual for the machines, and changed the final drive fluid accordingly. After putting 43km’s of moose hunting on one of them today I noticed gear oil coming out of the overflow (up at the air intake). If I had to guess, I’d say the total amount spilled was less than a couple of tablespoons…just enough to cover most of the airbox top. I absolutely didn’t overfill it, nor was the oil milky.
In my online searches on this topic I’ve seen people say that the dealership told them that sustained high speeds on gravel or asphalt could result in such a leak, and someone else mentioned reversing at high speeds could also cause it. I did both today.
Does that sound accurate? If the high speed is the likely culprit, is it just that the oil is boiling and overflowing?
I am having problems with my temperature sensor. I took the electrical connection off and jumped it out. The fan comes on and stays on while jumped but the temperature light stays on. I have a full radiator and anti freeze reserve. Thoughts? How do I test to isolate the problem?
Additionally, I get a fail message occasionally. Usually this goes away.
OK guys, need a little help here I have a 50" moose that came with the Grizz I bought this summer. The guy told me straight out he never had that plow mounted in the grizz, but in another ATV. Just said I would need some hardware, but for $200 I figured it was a good deal.
So what exactly do I need to make what is in the pics work with my 2005 Grizzly. Moose’s website was less than helpful….

2015 outty xmr 800 changed the stator cover gasket last night, finished it up this morning and when went to start it wont turn over just clicks. i got a low battery voltage light coming on if you hold the start button for a few seconds.tested the battery had 12.4 volts, checked the stator plug and it seems to be pluged in all the way an nice and clean also checked the fuses still nothing. any tips what to check for next? need to fix asap thanks
So I’m ready to pull my teeth out! 2012 850 XP that I bought new. Never really had an issues with it other than batteries. About a month ago I had gone riding and I think we rode about 20 miles. Come home clean it up and afterward it wouldn’t start. It would slowly try to turn over but wouldn’t make a full turn. Initially it made sense that it sounded like the battery. I checked it and it read 13.5 (plus this was a new battery over the summer). Tried again to start it and it did the same thing. I checked the relays and all the fuses – they were fine.
Now I’m thinking the solenoid on the starter is jacked. I pull the starter out, took it apart and checked the brushes. That thing was a pain to get all the rubber off!! Everything was clean and in good working order. I put it back together and checked it and it worked fine. Put it back in the polaris and it started right up. Great problem solved. I shut off and tried to start it again and nothing! I was over it.
So a week later after I had time to think about it, I just ordered a new starter. I was thinking that it was more than likely the solenoid and there was no way for me to check it other than the continuity. The new starter came in today, I put it in and it started right up! Now I’m feeling like an accomplished ATV mechanic, crack open a bottle of beer, enjoy a drink, shut it down, went to start it again and the same damn issue!!! AND … I sat my beer down and knocked it over making a mess! SMH!
So you guys that are smarter than me are my last hope before I take it to the shop. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!
So I went to hop on my 2014 Grizzly this afternoon and push the start button and nothing happened but display lights up when I turn me key to on headlights work tail lights work but no turn over from the engine any ideas?

We are getting the engine apart. The piston skirt broke and damaged both cases.
Anyway as the title asks, any suggestions for getting this gear off.
Thanks.
