Bore X Stroke:
Approximately 90 mm x 59 mm (specifications may vary slightly by exact year/build).
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled
Valvetrain:
SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft), 4 valves per cylinder
Horsepower:
Typically around 55-60 HP (actual figures may vary slightly by model year).
Torque:
Not precisely specified in product data, but the 800cc V-twin is known for strong low-end and mid-range torque, crucial for towing and hauling.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, 87 octane or higher
Fuel Tank Capacity:
Typically around 5.25 gallons (19.9 liters).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100 hours or 6 months, whichever comes first. Consult manual for specific grade and capacity.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Inspect every 20 hours, clean as needed, replace annually or as per condition.
Spark Plug Service:
Inspect every 100 hours, replace as needed. Gap specification is critical.
Drive Belt Inspection Replacement:
Inspect every 100 hours, replace based on wear and condition. Belt life varies significantly with usage.
Gearcase Oil Change:
Typically every 200 hours or annually. Specific lubricant grade is crucial.
Engine Oil Type:
Polaris recommends specific synthetic or semi-synthetic ATV engine oil, typically SAE 0W-40 or 5W-50, meeting API service classification SG or higher. Always verify with the manual.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 2.0 US quarts (1.9 liters) with filter change. Exact capacity in manual.
Gearcase Oil Type:

Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant with corrosion inhibitors, mixed 50/50 with distilled water.
Drive Belt Wear:
Drive belts on CVTs can wear prematurely if subjected to excessive heat, slipping, or improper engagement. Regular inspection and replacement are key.
Efi Sensor Issues:
Like many EFI systems, sensors (e.g., throttle position sensor, MAP sensor) can sometimes require cleaning or replacement if performance issues arise.
Suspension Bushings:
Bushings in A-arms and pivot points can wear over time, leading to play and potential noise. Regular lubrication and inspection are recommended.
Charging System Reliability:
While generally robust, early models of charging systems (stator, regulator/rectifier) could occasionally be a point of failure. The manual will detail testing procedures.
