Part Identification:
Identification of all individual parts with associated part numbers
Schematics Diagrams:
Schematics of engine assemblies and other key systems
Component Reference:
Reference for ordering correct replacement parts
Depth:
Detailed component-level breakdown, ideal for parts identification, ordering, and basic assembly reference. Not a full repair or service manual.
Engine Type:
Likely a 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine (425cc displacement suggests this).
Displacement:
425cc (cubic centimeters)
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled (indicated by 'radiator' and 'coolant' in keywords)
Ignition System:
Magneto ignition system, likely with electronic spark advance.
Starting Method:
Electric start, likely with a backup kickstart mechanism.
Horsepower:
Not specified in product information, but typically in the range of 20-30 HP for a 425cc utility ATV of this era.
Torque:
Not specified in product information.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely carburetor-based, though 'efi' (Electronic Fuel Injection) is mentioned in keywords, suggesting potential variants or confusion in keywords. The presence of 'carburetor', 'main jet', 'pilot jet', and 'mixture screw' strongly points to a carburetor.
Carburetor Details:
Manual would detail components like main jet, pilot jet, mixture screw, throttle cable, etc.
Type:
Automatic transmission, likely Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with forward, neutral, and reverse gears.
Drive System:
Likely shaft-driven, with options for 2WD or 4WD.
Gear Selection:
Includes gearshift and gearshift linkage components.
Length:
Not specified in product information. Typically around 75-85 inches for a utility ATV.
Width:
Not specified in product information. Typically around 45-50 inches.
Height:
Not specified in product information.
Dry Weight:
Not specified in product information. Likely in the range of 500-600 lbs.
Payload Capacity:
Not specified in product information. Utility ATVs typically have a rear rack capacity of around 100-200 lbs.
Crash Test Results:
N/A for ATVs as they are not subject to traditional automotive crash testing standards.
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear), including brake rotors and brake pads.
Throttle Control:
Throttle cable and associated components.
Chassis Structure:
Robust frame and body construction.
Lighting:
Headlights and taillights for visibility.
Infotainment System:
N/A for this model and era of utility ATV. Focus is on function over entertainment.
Assistance Features:
N/A. ATVs of this era generally lack electronic driver assistance features found in cars.
Connectivity Options:
N/A. No external connectivity features expected.
Efi Possibility:
Despite 'efi' in keywords, the strong presence of carburetor-related terms suggests the primary version is carbureted. If an EFI variant existed, this manual would cover its fuel pump, injectors, throttle body, and ECU components.
Oil Change Interval:
Not specified in product information, but typically every 100-200 hours or annually for ATVs. Manual would specify engine oil type and capacity.
Filter Replacement:
Air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter replacement intervals would be detailed in a service manual; this parts manual shows their part numbers.
Engine Oil:
The manual will list the specific Polaris-recommended engine oil viscosity (e.g., 10W-40 or 20W-50) and API service classification. Keywords mention 'which engine oil'.
Coolant:
Details on coolant type (e.g., ethylene glycol-based antifreeze) and capacity would be available. Keywords mention 'coolant replace', 'coolant change'.
Brake Fluid:
Specification for DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid would be found in a service manual.
Gear Oil:
Specifications for transmission and differential gear oil viscosity and type would be included.
Common Problems:
While this parts manual doesn't list common issues, typical ATV issues from this era could include carburetor tuning, drive belt wear (for CVT), suspension component wear, and electrical connection issues. The manual helps in identifying parts for these repairs.
Torque Specs:
Keywords mention 'torque specs', indicating that while not a full service manual, some critical torque values might be implied or referenced for component assembly.
Tire Pressure:
Recommended tire pressures (PSI) would typically be found on a placard on the vehicle or in an owner's/service manual, not usually detailed in a parts manual but related to 'tire' and 'psi' keywords.
Valve Clearance:
Keywords mention 'valve clearance', suggesting that while not providing adjustment procedures, the manual might show the necessary components (e.g., shims, adjusters) for valve clearance adjustments.
Compression Ratio:
Keywords mention 'compression ratio', indicating this specific engine parameter is relevant to the vehicle.
Polaris History:
Polaris Industries is a long-standing American manufacturer known for its snowmobiles, ATVs, and later, side-by-side vehicles, with a reputation for innovation and off-road capability.
Xpedition Lineage:
The Xpedition line was Polaris's entry into the larger-displacement, more utility-focused ATV market, often featuring more seating capacity than traditional single-rider ATVs.
Production Period:
The Polaris Xpedition-425 was produced around the turn of the millennium, with this manual specifically covering the 2000 model year.
