I Noticed in the archives that there are several Polaris ATV owners on this site. I have a used one that I purchased 3 months ago.
The Universal Owners Manual calls for greasing at several locations on the swing arms. But there are no zerk fittings, just holes. I called a dealer and he said that because the bushings are made from better material, the company no longer recommends that these areas be greased. But he went on to recommend that I could go to an auto parts dealer, buy 'drive-in' zerks and then I could grease these areas myself.
My question is, do you grease your swing arms or do you just ignor what the manual says. This bike is relatively unused, (75 hours) and appears to have never been greased in these areas. Thanks for your help. Ron
