Initial Break In:
Refer to the owner's manual for specific break-in procedures and mileage.
Oil Change:
Typically every 100-150 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Specific Polaris recommendations should be followed.
Spark Plugs:
Inspect and clean/replace as needed based on usage, typically every 1,000-2,000 miles or annually. Recommended plugs: NGK BR9ECS (verify with manual).
Clutch Maintenance:
Inspect primary and secondary clutches for wear, belt condition, and proper alignment at regular intervals (e.g., annually or every 50-100 hours).
Engine Oil:
Polaris Synthetic 2-stroke oil or an equivalent API-TC certified oil. The oil injection system automatically mixes oil with fuel.
Coolant:
