Polaris Xplorer Maintenance You Didn't Know About 

THANK YOU!!!! Just bought a '97 400 xplorer 2 cycle 4wd. Your video was very helpful in assisting me to getting it ready to take it to my new deer lease.

Great video- very well done and easy to follow. I just purchased the same model as Max. Hope to see you make more videos on this ATV in the future!

Wow. I've got a 96 Big Boss 6x6 currently at a Polaris dealer getting a bunch of services done, one of them being a service that should encompass this. Definitely gives an otherwise ignorant customer the knowledge to know what to check as far as service been done! Thank you so much

Well done. Just bought a one owner machine this evening and will be doing these.

SO glad I found this video! Excellent work!!

thanks for the info. changing all the fluids on mine now. your quad still looks good for its age. mines pretty decent still too!

Thanks for the great informative video, I wish all the videos on youtube were like that.

You did a good job. Thank you. We have a 1996 explorer 400 just like yours and no book. Thanks again

Informative and professional quality vid, much appreciated.

I bought a sportsman 400 from a friend. I asked my friend if he ever changed the fluids. He said never. I drained the transmission fluid and it looked like chocolate milk. I went to buy all the fluids after that. Thanks for the video

Great Video! Helps a lot. Just got a 01 and going to be fixing it up.

This is an excellent video for showig /explaining sysytems and their parts. Thank you. I own a 97 sport 400 its my baby 🎉

I have a 96 Xplorer 400 that I purchased last year. Love these machines! Glad you posted the video. I have a PDF of the shop manual that certainly helps.

you sir are what youtube should be about definitely earned my sub.👍

didnt know all those oil and grease points existed, thanks for the info

Maker Max Corbett : THANKYOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALLENT HERE SIR . 94 POLARIS 400 4X4 1ST TIME TWO STROKE OWNER .

I found grease fittings @ bottom of front struts (for lower ball joints) on a '94, 300 4x4. Forgive if I missed it on this video. Thanx! ...I would have missed the swing arm/Dri. shaft fittings without this Vid.

Can't thank you enough for this video! I've probably watched it about 30 times in the past few months since I bought my 400

Very good and well done Help full maintenance video!!

Good Stuff Sir. Much appreciated!

Awesome step by step tutorial Thanks

Very helpful, thank you.

Very helpfull knowledgeable video

Great Video!

These were never the fastest machines but for long treks and trails of all types these machines really are great for the money, I love the 2 stroke Polaris but only cause I can not afford the scrambler 1000cc yet!

Looks good, thanks, my top radiator tube pooped off, guess it had a blowned head, redid with past, its smoking near motor exhaust, not sure the waterpump works or thermostat, can not find so far :( Bad buy even if little mileage.

Great video!

where on the carb is the oil pumped in to? my hanse manual shows the port on top next to the airbox. but it was connected to a port close to the bowl. any help would be appreciated.

I owned a 1995 Explorer 300 4x4 , I used Harley trans fluid and the wheel hub took ATF . I had good 30,000 miles on it Road to work and home used it for logging and working the Farm . maintenance replacing sprockets chains tires . if you take care of it it will take care of you . 1 owner from 95 till 2017 I sold it it look a year old . it was garage keep .

I have a 1996 polaris explorer 400 4x4 if I drained my counter balance and crackcase do I put 10w30 in the counter balance fill spot where do I put the oil for crackcase and what type of oil

What tool are you using for the counterbalance

Do you have a link to the headlights

The one for the driveshaft (goes between transmission and rear rotor/pulley) on my 300 is not accessible without taking off the swingarm. Not sure if someone installed wrong.

Hows does water get in the engine and are they powerful for towing

When adding AGL fluid, what is the line connected to right above there???

Does the 2 strokes tAke the oil u put in with a saring

Do you have a video on how to change the spark plug? Is it similar to a sportsman 500

What did you put on the crankcase? What oil did it take you never refilled it on the video

What about the gear selector?

I have a 2000 polaris explorer 400 it turns over but it doesn’t stay on it bogs out every time I try to keep it staying on

Hi there you guys know hot to order the coolant reservoir I can’t find it I got a 94 Polaris liquid cooled 2x4 400.thank you

Very helpful.

Love your property dude

When I done my muffler it powered the black shit out but I put the front end up on blocks

Thank you so much! I have the exact same 95 400 xplorer and no manual this helped alot!

Good info, You forgot To Adjust and lube that dry chain.......

Not sure if my last comment went through but what would cause the counter balance dipstick to not come out, Iv unskrewed it and it comes up but will not come out. Any ideas?

Where did you fing that manual,? I cant find a Polaris factory manual

8:10 one of the most important things ESPECIALLY if your just slow speed riding . use JB weld to make new threads works flawless last forever

Awesome video, thanks! I have a 96 Xplorer, and just changed the chain and sprocket using the other video you posted. So far so good! Quick question: Does it really only take 75cc/ml of the 10w30 for the counter balance oil? Doesn't seem like a lot. I was thinking it would take a few quarts. I couldn't find anything online with official capacities for fluids..

Thanks for the great video. Do you have any knowledge of a crankcase drain plug? I have a drain plug for the pull start/flywheel cover. Any input would be appreciated.

How the 4x4 works on 1999 polaris xplorer 400 4x4

Just a fyi for anyone working on one of these. If your oil in the counter housing is milkshake you have a failure in the waterpump seal.

Stp makes the demand drive fluid that this model is supposed to take

You used a 1500 rpm drill. Why would you do that?

Soooo if I have a bunch of nasty water that came outta the last two drains you showed us, what does that mean? And what should I check next?

I got almost the same bike but my is 2x4 400 a 94 what other parts from other models fits on it cuz is hard to get parts on amazon with this info. Thank you

Could you use 75 90 differential/rear end oil?

Can you, or have you posted a video for tightening the rear drive chain???? TIA!!!

I just bought a 400 1996 xplorer great video. What is reservoir on top of machine in front? I was hoping u would address it. Thanks

Are you aware of any snow plow kits that fit this quad? Thanks for the informational video 👍🏻

Does anybody have an idea where's the oil dipstick on this bike where I can fill the oil at I have no idea and I can't find it

Looking for someone that could help me find a problem with my 1994 polaris xplorer 400 4x4. It started when the engine could not be shut off with the key. Installed a new switch, that wasn't the problem. Now the engine starts ok and runs fine until it warms up a bit then it shuts down and won't start again until it cools down. What could be causing that?

I would like to suggest changing the brake fluid after every season. That stuff gets pretty nasty after 2 years and sucking it out, like you did with the syringe, is easy.

Is this the same as on a 1995 magnum 425 4x4 4stroke

What kind of oil does it use up in the front that Reservoir that is has in the front

What about engine oil change ? Any video for that please

Is there counter balance oil in the 300?

Its de same thing with polaris explorer 300 1999 ?

Hi just bought one and the heatlight comes on fast enought, while waiting for fan to start it oil tube flew off on top of right side :( Dam is it serious?

How you drain fuel from the bottom?

Lol no joke I have a 93 trail boss 350 with 13000 miles and everything on that wheeler is used and abused I changed the fluids for the first time in 30 years yesterday 🤣🤣🤣 also it’s been rolled 14 times and i can’t kill the engine I’m never selling this wheeler and I will put as much money into it to keep it going Bc it has put up with my grandfather’s bs my dads bs and now mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have been using 75w80 in my gearbox and have had no problems much cheaper option.

How you do Oil change?

My manual says hubs take 2.5oz which is 75cc’s?

Hi there how you drain fuel from the bottom?

Where does the oil line go from the oil tank

I do have my manual

I never did this before only the gas and oil and antifreeze lol

No oil filter..?

Your not telling me what injection oil to put into the front of the machine

If the oil was white, sounds like your water pump seal may be bad

Break fluid should be clear.

Try taking it off with a wrench or ratchet instead of an impact. To much torque

1:56 Why is there a 10mm socket on an American? Because the 10mm is always gone, never to be found. They choose that size to make any repair or maintenance frustrating as you spend an hour trying to find the 10mm; give up and try vice grips; give up again to try and find the 10mm again; give up a third time and try with some other tool until you finally give up for the last time, quit working for the day just for the damn 10mm to phase back into our dimension after it had a leisurely stroll through time itself; you are furious that it suddenly appeared after hours; you then finally find the motivation to finish up the job and then find out that you never needed to loosen that 10mm bolt anyways cause the problem was from another part of the vehicle that is broken and you have to wait a week for the new part to come in the mail. The End.

Yeah let's use a 1500rpm gun and expect not to stripp something.

It’s 10 because nobody has used std since the 80s

Hold on... Polaris is American????

fuji engine is jap thats why 10mm
