MAINTENANCE

General Maintenance

Variable Exhaust System (VES)

Maintenance of the VES is limited to a periodic inspection and

cleaning of system components. Every 1000 to 2000 miles (800-1600

km), bring the machine to an authorized Polaris dealer to have the VES

disassembled, inspected, and cleaned.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and minimize required

maintenance, follow the oil recommendation chart on page 59. The

use of other lubricants may cause improper function of the valve mech-

anism and increase the frequency of required cleaning due to excessive

build-up of carbon deposits.

Water Pump Belt Inspection

Polaris Liberty 700 and 800

engines require inspection

of the water pump belt at

1500 miles (2400 km).

Inspect belt width (A) and

condition. Replace if

cracked or worn past the

width service limit (.250″ /

6.35mm). New belt width

is approximately .345″

(8.75 mm). See your

Polaris dealer if the belt

needs to be replaced.
