Just drained the oil, darkish, went brown tent, also has very small seal leak at drive shaft.. when flushing oil with thinner oil, I decided to turn the wheels to maybe clean out the diff better.. I took a video of how it sounds but it won't let me post it.. spinning forward it's like an intermittent slight grinding noise.. in reverse it has a little worst noise but it doesn't free spin as easily.. barely wants to spin on its on.. while driving it i heard nothing.. but it also has a loud exhaust and cams.. so it probably would be hard to hear anyways.. does this sound like a problem or anyone experienced this while flushing diff??

Lately I've been spending most of my riding time on paved roads, running short errands around our little town. So many times I wished I could turn on a blinker. To save making gestures and taking one hand or the other off the handlebars.

Does anyone have experience with purchasing/installing/using them, that would give a positive endorsement???

I have a 1998 Polaris Explorer 400 4x4 four wheeler that I bought and it has a shake in the steering and front end so I ended up changing both cv axles and spacers and washer on the top of the strut . It helped some of the shake but you still fill it the handle bars what would cause this to happen and what would I have to do to fix it. Any help would be very appreciated.

I know this sound dumb but due to all the different models Polaris made back in the 1990s, I'm totally confused on what the differences is between one model or another. If you add up all the different models and the numbers that follows the model, it seems to number about 20.

I haven't taken any photos but I picked up a second Polaris the other day. It does not run so it's going to need some work. More than likely if it's like my Xplorer 300, I'm going to have to put more work into it than I anticipate.

My co-worker said he thought it was a 1996 model. It says on the side panels Magnum 400 4X4.

Here's what I know about it:

Light blue body and blue rear shock
Cyclops headlight mounted on steering neck as well as two smaller ligths below the front rack
Has oil filter mounted on side of crankcase
Water cooled
chain driven
4X4

What's the difference between a Magnum 400 and a 425? There are some parts listed on Ebay for a Magnum 425 but not a 400. Then sometimes this bike is refereed to as simply a "Magnum".

Basically I want to make sure I get the correct parts.

Is there anywhere online with good instructional video or explanation of how to change drive shafts seal at rear diff.. I have a small amount of wetness

Stupid question, where do you check the fluid level?

I thought I saw a thread on here about someone who did the research on a great after-market belt. I just put Mega Mayhems and I want to get a good belt (possibly a clutch kit as well). Please advise and thanks in advance.

So yesterday I picked up a 1994 sportsman 400. I'm new to the ATV world...I've rode quite a few but never owned one. How in the heck do I tell if this thing is a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke? The place I got it from seemed unsure...

sheesh....about 30 kms into my riding today this thing is squealing like crazy at anything below 5000rpm....even in Neutral.

What in the eff?!

Rode another 40+ kms....lots of travel at bout 6000 rpm, old back roads, etc....

I guess I'll pull the clutch cover off and have a looksee inside at the belt and clutches. I just love that bottom row of bolts...
