Pre Season Maintenance help

[ryculper]

Hey guys,

I just bought a 2014 Polaris RMK 800 Assault. I am new to the snowmobiling game. Wondering what maintenance I should do to the sled before the season starts so I can get the most out of the season with the least hassle.

Thanks,

Ryan Culp

Drain the gas and put fresh high octane non ethanol fuel in it before you ride.

Check chain tension, track tension and belt deflection.

Ride it.

^^^^^^ What he said. ^^^^^^

Plus, grease, ski alignment, chain case oil and always have a spare belt and know how to change it, quickly! A majority of the time they go to hell, the weather sucks. And keep the spare belt and tool kit where it is suppose to be kept. The L tool for belt removal should be in the tool kit. All this is in your owners manual. Spare key. Now as far as what to have on the ride, that would require a whole new thread on that subject.
