Well, the 250 and 650 shouldn't have been two bad but if it was the first service on the xtx and if they did everything they were suppose to do it could get pricy.

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do your own routine maintenance. I will say the oil is the lifes blood of the motor but it's also got to breath. I have seen 5 motors destroyed this year do to piss poor maintenance. Pay close atension to your air filter, if it clogs it can bypass the filter and the motor starts eating dirt. damage to the motor do to lack of maintenance is not cover by warranty.

      2010 Polaris 500 HO oil getting in the air box
      By Werewolf
      Oil is getting in the air box from crankcase vent tube, I put the two hoses that go to the air box together then something started to smoke on the front of the engine. There is a filter? In the line I blew that out.

      1988 LT80 Crankcase Full of Oil
      By JohnnyB
      Greetings, 
      Have a 88 LT80 that been sitting for a couple years. Bought a new piston, cylinder and head. Installed these, rolled it over and it quickly locks up.  Took carb apart. It was full of what appears to be 2 cycle oil. Cleaned it, but keeps locking up and 2 cycle oil continues to seap from exhaust port.  When i installed new cylinder, I noticed crankcase was full of oil.  I'm now wondering if that oil is what's getting sucked up into cylinder.  Should there be no oil in crankcase?  If that the case, how is crank and rod lubricated?  Sorry, never worked on a 2 stroke. Thanks!

      I see quite a few ads for that  Tribotex additive. It's kind of expensive, has anyone used it it their ATV or any other vehicle?
