New product from Rigid Industries

This is a great alternative for those who want to ditch the weak halogen setup on the pods of their 850s. It states that it fits 2014 thru 2016 models but this has to be an error as it is showing the older style pod which is the same as the 09-13s. I don’t think it will work on the 2015/16s because the design of the pod is different at the bottom of the lens. The painted plastic portion wraps completely around the lens whereas the 09-14s is open on the bottom. the only way I see it working on a newer model is if you hack the body portion of the pod.

2011 Polaris 850 questions.

Hi all, I have a customer’s 2011 850 twin efi that was brought in for a service and complete check over. I have changed the oil and filter, cleaned the air filter, and replaced the spark plugs. SO, onto my questions,

The transmission oil is full. But I am sure it has not been changed since the unit was new….do I need to completely tear down the trans and clean it or can I do a fluid change? And what fluid does it use? We are not a Polaris dealer so taking the trans apart for a service probably is not an option. Have to ask the boss…..

My next question…I can switch it into 4×4 and I hear nothing, nor does anything pop up on the screen that is it in 4×4. Any good tips or common problems with that?

Customer needs her quad back so any tips and tricks on this would be awesome! Thanks guys!

91 350l 4×4 Liquids

I have recently acquired a 1991 Trail Boss 350l 4×4 (w918139). I have had to break the piston free and clean the carb. I was wondering what are all the liquids that i should check before running the engine. Mainly, do i need to lubricate the gear case or no?

Thanks,
Kevin
