Polaris Virage TX 2000 Service Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
Service Tips
In order to perform service work efficiently and to prevent costly errors, the technician should begin by reading the
text in this manual to become familiar with procedures before beginning. Pictures and illustrations have been
included with the text as an aid. Notes, cautions and warnings have also been included for clarification of text and
safety concerns. However, a knowledge of mechanical theory, tool use, and shop procedures is necessary to
perform the service work safely and satisfactorily. Use only genuine Polaris service parts.
nS Cleanliness of parts and tools as well as the work area is of primary importance. Dirt and foreign matter will act
as an abrasive and cause damage to precision parts. Clean the vehicle before beginning service. Clean new parts
before installing.
As Watch for sharp edges which can cause personal injury. Protect hands with gloves when working with sharp
components.
A± If difficulty is encountered in removing or installing a component, look to see if a cause for the difficulty can be
found. If it is necessary to tap the part into place, use a soft face hammer and tap lightly.
nS Some of the fasteners were installed with locking agents. Use of impact drivers or wrenches will help avoid
damage to fasteners.
/K Always follow torque specifications as outlined throughout this manual. Incorrect torquing may lead to serious
machine damage or, as in the case of steering components, can result in injury or death for the rider(s).
nS If a torquing sequence is indicated for nuts, bolts or screws, start all fasteners in their holes and hand tighten.
Then, following the method and sequence indicated in this manual, tighten evenly to the specified torque value.
When removing nuts, bolts or screws from a part with several fasteners, loosen them all about 1/4 turn before
removing them.
^ If the condition of any gasket or O-Ring is in question, replace it with a new one. Be sure the mating surfaces
around the gasket are clean and smooth in order to avoid leaks.
iK Some procedures will require removal of retaining rings or clips. Because removal weakens and deforms
these parts, they should always be replaced with new parts. When installing new retaining rings and clips use care
not to expand or compress them beyond what is required for installation.
nS Because removal damages seals, replace any oil or grease seals removed with new parts. A suitable driver
should be used when installing a new seal to prevent distortion or damage.
/K Polaris recommends the use of Polaris lubricants and greases, which have been specially formulated for the
top performance and best protection of our machines. In some applications, such as the engine, warranty
coverage may become void if other brands are substituted.
/K Grease should be cleaned from parts and fresh grease applied before reassembly of components.
Deteriorating grease loses lubricity and may contain abrasive foreign matter.
lK Whenever installing batteries, care should be taken to avoid the possibility of explosion resulting in serious
burns. Always connect the positive (red) cable first and the negative (black) cable last. When working with
batteries, always wear safety glasses or a face shield and protective gloves. Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric
acid and is poisonous! Serious burns can result from contact with the skin, eyes or clothing. ANTIDOTE: External
- Flush with water. Internal - Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or
vegetable oil. Call physician immediately. Eyes - Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention.
