MAINTENANCE Front Suspension • If grease zerks are present grease the left and right spindles. Raise the front end of the machine to permit better grease penetration into the spindle area.
Steering • Lubricate the steering post U-Joint and lower pivot with Polaris engine fogging oil. • Grease the center steering arms.
Driveshaft Bearing Inject grease into the fitting on the speedometer sensor housing until grease purges from the seal on the inside of the tunnel. This should take approximately two pumps. Do not use more than four pumps.
Throttle Cable Lubricate the throttle cable lightly with fresh oil. With the engine off, turn the handlebars to the left and lubricate well as shown.
Choke And Choke Cable
Jackshaft Bearing Loosen the driven clutch retaining bolt and pull the clutch toward you to expose the bearing and grease fitting. Inject grease into the grease fitting in the flangette until grease purges from the inside or outside of the bearing seal (may take only two pumps). Push the clutch back onto the shaft and replace the clutch retaining bolt. Torque the retaining bolt to 18 ft-lbs (24.4 N-m).

Lubricate the choke slide and cables lightly with oil or grease. Before turning the engine off, operate the choke intermittently to draw moisture out of the choke plunger area and reduce the possibility of the choke becoming frozen.
