I have a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 550 Touring and yesterday I found some fluid underneath. Not antifreeze or motor oil and it appeared to be coming from the front diff. I took it to the dealer (I have an extended warranty) and he agreed it looked like the front diff was leaking. I had not seen this as a problem with the 550’s. Anyone else had this issue. Due to shoulder injury and getting hit on my motorcycle it got ridden very little last year. It only has around 70 miles on it. Just kind of odd.

Hey guys,

I’m lost. No amount of searching the forums or Web has come up with a solution. According to another post, the owners manual and service manual the drain plug should be located on the right side of the front of the transmission to the left of the front output shaft, however I’ve pulled this bolt and it’s not a drain.

Anyone with experience able to help?

I titled this thread so that should other problems arise they could all be searched in a single thread. Not sure why, but there doesn’t seem to be much out there about this one in specific. Hopefully, this helps more than just myself.

Thanks.

Found a super clean 2004 400 Sportsman with less than 500 miles on it. Any known issues with this model?

I am assuming these are shaft driven, is that correct?

Thanks guys.

Have my sportsman 500 and I rebuilt the top end because the head was cracked. Got it running but had full throttle problems. Cleaned the carb out fully and now the dang thing won’t start. Can anyone help me out what to look for. I used the manual for needle setting(didn’t move it from where it was). It won’t even start on starting fluid either.

What Pure Polaris oil does a 08 Sportsman 800 call for in the rear differential? I’ve changed the transmission fluid and I’m wanting to change the front and rear differentials too. Also, what’s the name for the ADC fluid?

Yes, I searched. 2006 sportsman 500 HO

The switch is in awd, the indicator light is on, but only the rear wheels are spinning. Any ideas?

Trying to plow snow in 2wd doesn’t work very well.

Guys recently my Polaris transmission started slipping. I had my mechanic replace the belt (2 times) and replaced all the clutches. When I picked up the ATV everything worked fine after a 1 mile run the transmission started slipping again. Any ideas? Thanks

If I put better tires on my stock sportsman etx would riding in deep snow work well or should I just stick to my sled? I’m just worried it won’t have enough power to get through the snow I’d rather ride my atv
