The recommended break-in procedure for the Polaris 600R 2020 includes varying the throttle position and speed for the first 10 hours of operation, avoiding prolonged full-throttle operation, and allowing the engine to cool down after long rides.
The engine oil on the Polaris 600R 2020 should be changed every 50 hours of operation or once a year, whichever comes first. Regularly checking the oil level is also recommended.
It is recommended to use 91 octane or higher unleaded gasoline for optimal performance of the Polaris 600R 2020. Using ethanol-blended fuels with more than 10% ethanol is not recommended.
To troubleshoot starting issues, check the battery for charge, ensure the fuel valve is open, inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage, and verify that the kill switch is in the 'run' position.
Regularly inspect the coolant level, check for leaks, and ensure the radiator fins are clean. The coolant should be replaced every two years or 200 hours of operation.
Adjusting the preload on the shock absorbers and fine-tuning the compression and rebound damping can improve suspension performance on rough terrain. Consult the owner’s manual for specific settings.
For off-season storage, clean the machine thoroughly, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, disconnect the battery, and cover the vehicle to protect it from dust and moisture.
To adjust the drive belt tension, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface, loosen the tensioner bolt, adjust the tensioner pulley, and then retighten the bolt. Refer to the service manual for specific torque specifications.
If the brakes feel spongy, check for air in the brake lines, inspect for leaks, and ensure the brake pads are not worn out. Bleeding the brakes may be necessary to restore proper brake feel.
To replace the spark plugs, remove the engine cover, disconnect the spark plug wires, use a spark plug socket to remove the old plugs, and install new plugs at the recommended gap. Reattach the spark plug wires securely.
