Good to know for when I buy one

[@GummyBear1993]

Thank you for making videos. It's hard to find instructional videos on Sportsman HL's

[@OleNasty79]

I got another one coming on a rear diff rebuild

[@mnsportsteam6206]

Very best information video.
Thanks for shering.

[@stacyreid5077]

Hey buddy great video and to let you know my brother bought a new RZR in 2012 and we took it across a creek to find out it came from factory without the belt box plug. Yeah not what we expected

[@OleNasty79]

Oof...something similar happened on my Ranger 800. A hose clamp was loose from factory and I swamped it with 5hrs.

[@josebarrios2159]

YESSS!!!!!

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Yep, right at the bottom of the inner case!!! Had same.
AND air box leaked at the seam right where you pointed!!

[@OleNasty79]

Thankfully, I didn't get anything at the seam just the inlet snorkel. Did you pull the airbox, split it and reseal it?

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

@@OleNasty79 no because I didn’t know about it until bike quit running and I didn’t know why-air box had filled with water and mud-game over

[@OleNasty79]

@@ADVENTURESThisWay are you sure thats where it leaked?

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

@@OleNasty79 yep, you could shine a light from the inside out and see how big a gap it was. AND oil from the air box leaked out from same place-that how I noticed it

[@OleNasty79]

@@ADVENTURESThisWay oh wow

[@trelafleur8786]

Hey man have you had any trouble with water getting into you spark plugs from the wires? If so how did you fix it?

[@OleNasty79]

Yes, I have to put dielectric grease in the spark plug boots every 4‐6 rides.

[@SketchyXC]

Good info!

[@OleNasty79]

Hopefully it helps somebody out

[@SketchyXC]

@@OleNasty79 im sure my times coming 😅

[@OleNasty79]

@@SketchyXC mine was good for two hard years

[@ethanbutler3065]

why is the belt box snorkel higher than your airbox snorkel?

[@OleNasty79]

Well, one of them is. And Idk, just the way the guy designed it.

[@alphapackoffroad]

Love it. Lol. Got to fn holes there. Lol

[@oscarfabian0611]

What do you use as a smoke machine?

[@OleNasty79]

I made one

[@michaelnewsome6251]

Where did you get your mud strap?

[@Mason-lw8gn]

It comes with the 1000s

[@OleNasty79]

It's factory on the 1000s and the older 850s

[@connorbuck1393]

What's your opinion on just siliconeing everything and greasing belt box

[@OleNasty79]

That's pretty much what I did

[@5.3david17]

Don’t forget to water seal your tires 🥴

[@hayden_8755]

I love going to fat daddys

[@OleNasty79]

Its a pretty badass park.
