1/4 inch, polaris is a 'murican compny :)
ahhh of course! Thank you, I probably should have been able to figure that one out, but that's what the comment section is for, will definitely pin this for future viewers to see correct allen size. Thank you for watching and especially for commenting with the correct size. Cheers
The comment you made about the silver chain case lube and metal shavings made me feel a lot better lol
haha that was my first chain case oil job and I had to call like 3 Polaris service departments to confirm it was normal, glad it put your worries to ease as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
You’re the man. Hard to find videos on these sleds. Bought an 06 RMK 900 159 track for $2k a few weeks ago and it’s a monster!
they are really fun machines. enjoy it and thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
I have a 2006 RMK 900 looks just like yours. I dig your videos. You are clear, thorough and concise. Some of these you watch, your getting their social life 10 times more than pertinent information. Keep them going as this is my first sled and I do work on my vehicles myself (up to my pay scale). Excellent Job!!!
appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave some good feedback in the comments. Cheers
Took me a while to find the drain... It was right where you showed it in the video (THANKS!), but I still didn't see it until I viewed the video a second time. I used a 1/4" allen for the drain plug and 13/16 socket for the fill plug on my 2006 RMK 900
me too, I was convinced it was hiding under a panel for a good while before I found it with phone camera. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience with this job and likely the correct sizing of allen and socket. Cheers
Best video I found on this. Thanks
thank you very much, I'll try and keep them coming. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers
This video helped me change the oil on my Polaris rmk 600 thank you 👍
awesome, no problem. I'm glad it was helpful for you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Yup yup👍
Wow! Great video! Thank you for this! You found a new subscriber here. Great job.
thanks so much, appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Cheers
Epic vid, helped me change mine easily. Love One Beer Jobs 🤙
same here, glad it went smooth for you friend. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Quite a bit different than my 05 Fusion, but enjoyed the crap out of the video. Well done.
awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. What were some of the differences for the fusion if you don't mind sharing? Either way, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
The 05 fusion does not have a sight glass or a fill plug on the side like the rmk does.
@@snake61007 how did you know how full it was? Does yours have a Dipstick? I have a 2006 fusion 600 and wanting to change mine. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Excellent video .
appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
FYI 2004 RMK 600 does not have access from the rear as shown here. It also has a dip stick for checking oil level. New to the machine and am feeling my way through it. Probably going to split the case to change the oil.
ahh roger that, thanks for taking the time to share helpful information where it's different for other models. cheers
Does this video also work with a 2009 Polaris 800 dragon RMK
Need help on how to do it on a 2009 Polaris dragon 800 RMK
you haven't done any more servicxe videos on the rmk 900. I'm looking forward to more. I don't know how to work the dash computer any suggestions
I sold that sled a couple years ago, see if this video helps? ruclips.net/video/GY0i-3_Fr-Y/видео.html when we get another one I will put out more vids on it for sure. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to make some good video suggestions in the comments.
Good vid bro!
glad you enjoyed it, appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
I have a Polaris Fusion 500 50th Anniversary edition. Looking for the chaincase and can't figure out its location. Any idea?
hmm I am not exactly sure as I have never had one of those sleds, but if you can't find it I would try and find a owners manual or a service manual on the internet, even if it cost $20 or so a good service manual will make all future maintenance jobs go just infinitely smoother. Also check out some of the forums out there as someone else has likely had the same question and there are a bunch of very knowledgeable people on those forums. Hope this helps, good luck and thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a question in the comments. Cheers
i have a 2005 Polaris 900 and I can't find the chain case oil fill location I've looked in the footwell and there's only the bolts to hold it together no cap to unscrew to fill it.
hmmm. I've sold that sled so I won't be much help in finding it now. maybe try and get a service book for it? thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
I have a polaris 500 Saber and I can't find the refill plug
hmmm unfortunately I'm not familiar with that machine, but hopefully someone who is will see this comment and have some suggestions. The manuals are usually very helpful for this sort of thing as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
1st of All, GREAT VIDEO. 2ND of all do you happen to know if this is the same setup as a 2006 Polaris Fusion 600 H.O.? Thanks. And again great video
appreciate the kind words. And I do not have an exact model I do have a 06 rmk 600 so I'll go see what it looks like when it warms up, but as long as you can find a fill, drain plug, and shot glass it should be fairly similar. If there is no way to check oil I'd make sure to get exact capacity for your machine from the dealer when you get the oil. Hope this helps, cheers
@@EscapePowerSports thank you for the information. I did end up finding a drain hole underneath by where exhaust comes out. So very similar to what you have. Thank you again
2004 RMK 800. Any idea on how to do this? Brand new to sleds..
not sure as I've never owned that particular model, were you able to locate a drain and/or fill plug? That's definitely the first step here. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a question in the comments. Hope this helps get you started. P.S. Owners manuals and service manuals are the best resources available for learning to work on these machines ourselves. Cheers
How do you change the chaincase oil on a 1999 Polaris 700 RMK
honestly I'm not sure, but if you can find a fill plug, drain plug and some sort of shot glass to view the fluid level it will be similar to what I did in the video. Maybe try and get a service manual for your machine or check out the forums for more advice on yours. Hope this helps. thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a question in the comments. Cheers
Is an 01 rmk800 the same? I would think so but not sure
honestly not sure, but it should be similar I would try and find a owners manual or even better a service manual for your machine, but if you are able to find a fill plug and drain plug as well as that shot glass to see how much to add I'd say go for it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a good question in the comments. Cheers
@@EscapePowerSports hey thanks man! Love your videos!
Есть аналог оригинального масла для коробки?
I got the chain case oil from the Polaris dealer. cheers
@@EscapePowerSports I read on your forums that they pour engine oil 0w40. They also write that atf is being poured. Dealer oil is very expensive. And with eBay, it's a long wait.
would this be the same for 2009 600 dragon ?
Yes.... Don't do like I did ! Don't go pulling the fucken chaincase apart for the oil change !
Apologies for the late response, To be honest I'm not sure, but there's only one way to find out. Let us all know how the job goes and if it's similar or not. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, cheers.
@@doobyboy21 haha thanks for sharing your experience, when I saw some videos showing that method it made me a little uncomfortable and I was sure Polaris would have designed the case with a better way (drain plug method) Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience, cheers
sight glass not shot glass
Damn ! I actually do have a drain plug on my 2009 RMK 700 just like yourse ! I'd use to fucken pull that god damn chaincase apart to do an oil change ! What a waste of fucken time ! Thankx for the video !
no problem, glad you found it helpful and to be a better method. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience in the comments. cheers
fuzzy wutzits r narmal :)
well that's good thank you for watching and commenting.
Id pulled my check dipstick on a used sled i bought and almost had a heart attack...it looked like a paintbrush
lmao its a SIGHT glass, ya know for sighting the oil.
hahahaha shows you where my head is at, thanks for watching and taking the time to point out that very interesting difference in our terminology. Your likely correct. this cracked me up. cheers
