Hi Guys,
I’m new here and need some advice on my 2010 850 xps. I have had this machine for 3 years and it has been trouble free. I have changed the fluids and basically thats it. I don’t race it or run it hard, its my farm mule.
Today I started it (cold here) and let it run for a good 5 minutes. Hopped on and headed for the mail box. On the way down I heard a pop and hot oil hit the engine on the right side, talk about smoke. I got off and it wasn’t gussing oil so I drove it back to the barn. It didn’t sound like rods clattering or lose that much oil. It was getting dark so I pulled the seat waited untill it quit smoking and went to the house. Anybody got any ideas on where to start?
I haven’t worked on ATV’s but do work on my motorcycles. Thanks
