Went to lube this fitting again this year……no nipple just the hole . No threads in the hole either . Thanks Polaris . 2015 570 sportsman

Not sure why u tube is advertising (and making money)on my video sorry folks 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m pretty sure you can get to it from a hole in the underside skid plate

I simply cannot be the only person that finds themself fantasizing about punching the Polaris engineer in the face.

Yes not to mention the poor location of our battery on this particular 2016 model. I understand now they’re under the front hood. Like I said I wasn’t in on any design meetings on this one !

@@robertdean6222 And how hard it is to check/fill the front gearcase fluid, if you happen to have the AUDACITY to have a winch installed. Insane!!

I would pay to punch their engineers, my 450 HO was parked for a month waiting on their engineers to figure out how to wrap wires with tape.

I didn’t know ! Thanks

I had a 2004 sportsman 500 that my dad beat hunting and trapping. Thing had 2 axles relaced, bushings and bearings twice and sadley only 2 services in 12000 km other than the break in 25 hr service snd the thing would not die. Maybe it was a fluke because another person from the area had the identical bike and just used it for trail riding and it fell apart.

Can you not get the the grease fitting from under the bike

I have a 2020 model. My manual says 3 pumps maximum, every 500 miles. I found my machine a bit on the dry side from the factory, so I put 5 pumps in mine at 75 miles. I'll hit it with 3 more pumps after 500 miles (as stated in the manual).

Yes Polaris wants you to take your vehicle in and spend $1000 to replace that part that’s why they said three or four pumps. Mine was Dry as a desert !

Its a simple job. You don't have to remove the foot rest. Turn the shaft so it points directly at you on right side. Or 3 o'clock position. Your gun will slip right on. Do not pump 40 pumps FCS!

Hi Mr. Dean, How did you know it was full? I was a little unclear on that. BTW I have the exact same model and milage lol.

Sorry for the late response But just like a car it will eventually fill up and ooze out somewhere, Usually out of a rubber boot or somewhere

What kind of grease gun you use?

Sorry for the late response, I just use a common grease gun I use to grease my trucks with.
