I have a 2014 Year RZR 170 and trying to lubricate. No problem with the a arms by front two wheels. However the inside a arm Zerks are a bear. I was only able to do one out of four. I tried with 90 degree grease gun adapter and didn’t help. I also tired with front lifted with ate jack and that didn’t help. I can’t get the grease gun to lock on these three Zerks. Seem to be a little off angle compared to the one that worked. There is a plate above with holes and it and I try to go through hole but still at wrong angle.

I just picked up a 2009 rzr 170 for a smoking deal but it’s missing the drive chain tensioner and its mounting tab. Are there any recommendations on how to fix this? Make a new tab and weld it on? Any aftermarket fixes? Not really wanting to buy a new swing arm.

hello everyone
im new to this thread. and 2015 rzr 170 owner. the boys were riding pretty fast and hit rock and buckled the floor a bit. does anyone know hard it is to change out the floor frame is fine seems like rock pushed threw skid plate.only on drivers side. and also do i have to do anything to the fuel injection to move the air intake system. stock location isnt good for the riding we do .
Just picked up a new 2015 rzr 170 efi. Since there is no jetting involved due to efi are there fuel controllers out for this yet? Also what are the must haves to make this dune worthy aside from the proper paddles. I would like to do a pipe and of course later motor work and such.
I recently picked up a used RZR 170. Already got a jet kit, skid plate and new intake on the way. I’m hoping you guys can help me diagnose a small problem I’ve noticed with the machine. Whenever you start from a dead stop, if you don’t press on the gas gently it seems to slam into gear. It doesn’t happen if it’s moving at all. I heard it may be the tension of the chain going to the axle, but I took a look at that and it seems to be pretty taught to me (granted I also don’t know exactly how tight it should be).
Sons 170 has been running pretty good all year. Took him to his first offroad park with it this weekend. It ran fine for a while, then ramdomly shut off coming down a hill. Couldn’t get it restarted. Checked the plug and it didn’t seem to be firing. Put a new plug in, everything was great. Rode for another hour then it shut off again. Can’t get it restarted. Are ignition issues common on these? Where should I start looking? Just had to put a starter solenoid on it last week. It’s looking like typical Polaris quality.. sigh.. Should I start by looking at the CDI?
What type of oil is everyone using in their 170. The reason I ask every time I buy oil at polaris dealer they give me something different. First trip they give me ps-4 5w50 I questioned them because the owners manual says 10w50. They said this is what polaris now recommends. Next trip they give me premium youth atv oil. It seems as if they have no idea what’s going on or they just give you what they have. I have always followed manufactures reccomendations but it seem no one knows what they are anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
