Polaris has its brand of hub oil , which is not cheap . Ford ATF :automatic transmission fluid is recommended if you do not want to pay for Polaris oil .
On the top of oil tank under the left front fender .
under the front rack mouthed to the frame its silver there is also a strainer in the tank
At the front of the center chain in an essentric . there are two bolts that need to be loosened . once they are loose take a hammer and a punch and gently tap the eccentric .one way will loosen chain the other way will tighten chain . the center chain needs to be as tight as you can get it .tighten the bolts and then adjust the front chain as tight as you can get it . there is also an eccentric for the front chain . then with the usual riders weight on the machine tighten the rear chain . with the weight on the machine leave one to one and a half inch slack in chain in the center of chain .
Most 91 polaris 400's are 2-stroke , and there is an oil tank in the front . Make sure the oil is 2-stroke oil for injection .
