Will this oil filter work (#2540086) – ’14 Sportsman 850

Hello everyone!

I had a tusk oil filter fail on me (gasket blew) and so I decided to go back to Polaris brand filters. So I went to the nearest store and they gave me one but it didn't match the standard part number for my atv.
Given: #2540086

OEM filter for it: #2520799
Would is still work?

Engine Break In

I know this topic has been discussed several times with people on different ends of the spectrum on what is the best way to break in a new engine. Saw this this video on YouTube from Motorcyclist Magazine. They did a really good comparison on what is the best method to use whether to use wide open or vary the rpms to break in a new engine. Results were: there wasn’t any difference between the two in engine specs after 1000 miles...Not trying to sway anyone to do one or the other just thought it was an interesting video.
Here is the link if anyone is interested

New to the forum

Recently purchased a 2018 outlander 570 xmr, have grown up around atv's but new to the mud side of things, hoping to learn a few things from the forum!

Don’t ride alone!! Very unsafe! I’ll help

So many things can go wrong, while out riding, even when with others, when getting away from the group! Try to always ride with at least one other person! If your over 50 and ride alone let me know, I'll try to go with you. I know the trails pretty good, up north, around St Helen, Mi. or I'll try areas of the state your more accustom to. I know its too cold now, but spring will be here before you can blink an eye lol
I can ride with the slowest dude in the pack, to WOT! Get in touch before season starts for more inf. Thanks, Steve

Polaris Glacier Plow

Does anyone use a Glacier Plow? If so, can u flip the bottom scrape blade over and use the other side or u have to buy another one?

Transmission Fluid Change

On my older 2005 SP 500ho I had to elevate the front end to drain the tranny fluid. On my new 2014 400ho it doesn’t show that you have to do that anymore. Am I reading this book right? Looks like a different setup on the newer model. Thanks
