Do you know how to make a clothesline between some trees? Do that and when the next group comes thru and they go flying off their sleds you jump on and ride to safety!

And I was on a PC for 10k miles. I guess its either a motor that falls apart or a chassis. Trip hub is notorious. Lately Yamaha primaries are going boom on 998s.

Reevester Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Just got word. Plugged centre oil port in bottom of crankcase. Getting new motor and they don't even have a way to check if that one could be plugged as well.

A small syringe with with a rubber or oringed plunger will put out 200psi. A little 2 stroke oil in a syringe will confirm if a check valve is plugged. In the chassis this is a little difficult to check but on the bench before it goes in it would take under a minute to check all the oil injection ports. The dealer must know this?

That will get spendy in a hurry AND probably run like shit. I’m honestly a bit perplexed about these 850 issues. The AXYS 800 had a great reputation going on its 4th or 5th season for reliability. I had 2 of them and put on over 5000 miles on them. Then mine puked, For as of yet unnamed reasons. But without having read much on the new 850, how much different is it actually from an 800?

It's not really that difficult in the chassis. You just have to take the throttle body off. A good tech should be able to complete the test on all the check valves and have the sled back together in 30 minutes or less. A full recall sounds bad but it's a whole lot less expensive that dozens of blown cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess their going on the notion of if it hasn't seized or has oil all over the belly pan then you should be g2g. Lots seem to be going just fine. Something obviously got fucked up on the line.

No. Oil added to the fuel goes right out the exhaust on a fuel injected motor like the CFI. It barely even lubricates the top of the piston. Nothing below the piston rings is affected by oil in the fuel. This surely won't help with lubricating the crank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 8:1 is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 3 minutes ago, BOHICA said: You have to put enough in that it seeps by the rings. Oil burns slowly. Maybe 8:1 is better. Nope, do not run pre-mix in your tank. from the Polaris break-in info..... for break-in period it is essential that the engine is rich in fuel, as well as running the recommended oil in the oil tank. That doesn't mean mixing the two, quite the contrary, do not add oil in gasoline because this addition will have the effect of reducing the richness of gasoline. Run supreme, no oil in the tank, Polaris also state it is beneficial to ride in ETHANOL mode for the first 300kms. They want the break-in period in richer mode from a fuel stand point. Ethanol mode makes the engine consume much richer that the NON-ETHANOL mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fuel additive will help the crank, crank bearings, rod bearings, wristpin bearings or waterpump shaft in a CFI motor. This is a fact.

I ran in non-ethanol for the first few hours and have had zero issue with plugs or fouling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I've run premix down to a 1:1 ratio and its been awesome......smokes a little more but you def save on gas 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would some healthy shots of WD 40 or triflow work in the spark plug holes before putting it to bed??? That way it would penetrate to the bottom end over night lubing the crank for the next days ride?
