Craig’s List

I know life can’t be all peachy and keen , and I do have a little bit of patience but selling stuff on Craig’s List is wearing my patience downs ,I have wasted a lot of time but have meet some really nice people and made a few friends along the way ——— I got a call , actually it was about 7 calls and 20 text from a guy that wanted a 250 engine off a Fourtrax 250 I have listed , he asked a thousand question and that’s Ok, he ask directions , gets lost twice and probably would get lost finding his bathroom at his house , finally gets here , spends an hour looking it over , hooked up a fuel bottle and started it for him ——– then the stupidest question I may have ever heard , " do you think I can make this work on my 250 dirt bike " , he don’t even have a 4 wheeler , you can see the bike is shaft drive and not chain drive in the pics —–guess it was my fault for not asking him the right questions

Another oil question, prem. 4 season or ps-4?

I just purchased a 2007 sportsman 700 and want to do some maintenence on it. The factory owners manual says to use Polaris premium 4 season oil 0w-40
The Polaris chart online and at the dealership says ps-4 5w-50
I find it odd that these two recommendations from Polaris contradict each other. I am sure that either would be fine but would like to know what to use and why. Did Polaris update the spec since 2007 and the ps-4 is now the oil of choice? Thank you in advance!

2015 Sportsman steering issues

I brought my 2015 sportsman 850 home 2 weeks ago. Going through all the normal break in procedures, with an occasional open throttle and wheelie here and there. I noticed that the handle bars had some play in them and eventually when I would turn side to side I would get an awful knocking feeling and it would make a terrible grinding noise. Took it back to the dealer to replace the bearing at the bottom of the steering shaft. Hopefully this isn’t a trend with the new bikes. Anyone else having this issue?
