2018 polaris sportsman 450 HO Timing TDC

[Dmitchell]

I'm trying to get my atv to TDC to check valves. Im attempting to do this with the engine still on chassis. Can someone tell me where I can remove a plug to ensure I am on TDC? 

Thanks

The  picture you posted from the manual is for a 570, is this the same for the 450 HO? 

 

Thanks

Don't worry so much about exact TDC. You can even check the exhaust valves while the intakes are open and vice versa. If you watch the intake open and then close and then watch the flywheel get to the "T" mark you are at TDC. But seriously, you can virtually be anywhere on the bottom of the cam lobe and get an accurate reading. The timing plug is on the stator cover. There will be 2 plugs. One to turn the crank and the other to inspect for timing marks. Make sure you are turning the engine in the normal operating direction (opposite the cam chain tensioner) If the tensioner is in the rear then turn the engine forward
