Here is some advice, make sure you clean the machine and always check oil and coolant before you start. Make sure it’s not over full or fuel contaminated. Make sure the gas is not water contaminated. When you ran the engine with the breather line off you were seeing vapors because either the pcv was bad or it’s fuel contaminated from the miss fire. God knows how far it was driven or when the last oil change was. Also check the spark plugs other then that you are doing mostly the right things. A lot of people run there machine on reserve tank so fuel pump must be starting to go bad. Fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel in the tank good luck
Ran across this issue with 1st generation generals. Ended up being the fuel. It had ethanol free fuel in it, colder weather made it crank hard or idle rough.
I'd charge a few hours for diagnostics, you did check a lot of things and find the breather puffing a ton of oil. Fuel maxed out on lean condition, checking fuel pressure seems the right idea, since the exhaust seems to be standard and the filter clean, and no obvious manifold leaks, where is the o2 finding too lean from? hmmmmmmm. You'll find it! need A/C in there!
We have a lot of issues with the fuel pump relays. Works great one key cycle. Next key cycle machine stalls but will restart and stall again. Doesn’t matter what year Polaris. They always have relay issues. Relay may work for eps. But won’t work great for fuel pump when swapping relays in fuse box for testing
If you slowly increase the thottle like that from idle, it will hold the rpm for awhile after letting it go. Its done that on my 2015 900 trail, my 2021 xp 1000, and my 2023 xp4. It seems that its just the nature of the drive-by-wire setup that polaris uses
Nothing like any type of new vehicles now days with all the electronic gadgets...will have you pulling the hair out of your head...You gave it it good go.
my 16 900s i just bought has 11600km or 7200 miles . I only paid $8700 in Quebec because Ontario Canada prices are way more . I figured yes it’s higher mileage but they all break down no matter the age . I decided to take a chance on it for the price. It’s Nice to see you get some newer machines to work on not that i don’t like all your repair videos . It’s just nice to see you worked on newer stuff
Personally id rather get a great deal on a higher mileage machine. That way you have extra cash to repair if needed, because as you said doesn’t matter the mileage anything can break.
@@rockspowersports only problem i’m having now is a clunking on the trail from the front . I have a little play in the first u joint but everything else in the front end seems tight . I decided to just order a new complete driver shaft from All balls so everything is new . Hopefully it fixes my clunking issues
@@rockspowersportsquick question for you do you know where I can get a rear diff for a 2014 Polaris RZR 4 800 I live in Maine can travel to your area pretty easily
sooooo, i am looking at a new 2023 same exact machine, would you say normally this is a solid reliable machine or should i look to something else??? thanks in advance for being honest, I can take it!! 🤠
@@rockspowersports what is the part that’s not so “most”…. Anything that I can do to improve the longevity or that is necessary to add when I get it Im all for doing?? Thanks
Quick question my boss has a Polaris Razor 1000 that won't start unless you spray starting fluid in the carb once you spray it then it'll fire up and run perfect until you shut it off then you've gotta spray starting fluid in the carburetor again to get it started back he said that someone told him it has a sensor on the flywheel that is causing the issue do you have any ideas ss to what it could be or if it the flywheel sensor is indeed what's causing his problem with it not starting like it should
Could the fuel being dumped in causing the lower reading on the pressure gauge? It's almost like a how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop 😂
If they tried to put a universal O2 sensor in that they might have done it wrong you have to do it perfect or a universal O2 sensor will not work right it will show you good voltage but it will not work right that makes me think why he is burning through so much fuel
sounds like abusing the machine and then trying to fix it with aftermarket parts might be the issue. unfortunately new machines require OEM parts rather than the cheap aftermarket stuff. Sure doing donuts might be fun but it seems like that type of abuse might have created an issue.
Beat the crap out of my Arctic Cat 400 and my Suzuki King Quad 450. They take alot of abuse, unlike my uncles polaris ranger, thats always getting worked on.
Have a northstar Polaris already had issues with turf mode and now the snorkel gear jumped all under 4000kms on a bone stock machine roof leaks rear speakers don’t work absolute garbage.
Like all new vehicles, these things are over complicated. When you are way out on a trail in the woods,you can't call AAA!

I had the same year transmission leaked from case the first time I drove it. After two time being fixed under warranty I sold it
Broken wires around the clutch cover in the main harness can cause a running issue, see it alot here locally
More Polaris content, sweet!
Also - Congratulations on 20k subs! You are great!

Always thought about dropping a big 2-stroke snowmobile engine in a wildcat sport or rzr.... 1000cc 2-stroke would be fun...
Didnt see a link, you using the OTB setup for polaris diag?
Sucks it wasn't a quick fix but thats how it goes sometimes

That would be easier to eliminate actually
I don't get it why not change for your time?
SxS's in general are a giant pain in the ass to work on

Awesome video man! Wish you were closer to me I would 1000% have you work on my rig!
I worked a night shift and havint been to bed yet so comment for now and ill watch in the morning when I get up
Great video as always. Could it be a bad or dirty injector ?

Compression and leak down test ?

Sounds like he ran it a ton while running crappy and then it ran even worse = probably blown up. Hope for a part 2
Do you happen to know what size socket i need for the rear axle of a Polaris sportsman 850xp.
Thanks in advance
Did you forget to link that code reader tool? Great video, thanks.

That's a Polaris branded scanner. They have one better that around $1000-$1100
Might be a fuel pump issue !! ?

CAM GEAR Shifted in the cam.
It’s a press fit and Polaris is known for this issue….. Check your CAM’s
Awesome video man 👍
Thanks!
How do i go about getting ahold of you will need a 20 hour service done on my 24 grizzly 700 i bought
Waiting for part 2 👍
I think it's the aftermarket O2 sensor I've seen many many aftermarket especially if it is a Polaris it needs an oem part.
If they tried to put a universal O2 sensor in that they might have done it wrong you have to do it perfect or a universal O2 sensor will not work right it will show you good voltage but it will not work right that makes me think why he is burning through so much fuel
Universal you have to wire yourself and somebody might not know how to do it
How many miles can u go on a full tank on the rzr trails 2022
Maybe it was overfilled

All makes have problems ☃️👍👍
The engine needs a rebuild jezz
Where about do you live ?
Valve adjustment?
Possibly, it will be returning when I have time for it.

Bad injector is my thought
Comment love frm CHICAGO
As awesome as these machines look, and I want one. I have to force myself to not buy Polaris Because I know I will get screwed.

Don't buy a Polaris! Problem solved.
So every other brand in existence doesn’t have issues lol
