The " DO NOT DO" list for Rzr owners

So over the last year or so, since I've been on this forum, one thing that I've tried to keep track of are things NOT to do with your Rzr. So I thought I'd start a list, so some of the more experienced drivers could add to it as we go, and for us more novice drivers, we can be in the know of things that could cause damage to the Rzr.

1. On hard paved roads, do not drive with "all wheels" engaged, I hear you can get some front dif lock ups from this.
2.
3.
4.

Lets keep this going, I would like to create a list of things that could harm my rig.

Thanks,
DevilDoc Junior

The k and n is a whole other issue, hash it out on threads already posted, and yes I had one and yes it bled dirt through, and I am a maintenance freak.

Do not shift from high to low or vice versa while the vehicle is moving or the engine is not at idle.

One think I have learned is you are never in the clear! This is a slippery slope.... once you start buying you wont be able to stop... that is when the better halves get a little upset with you.... oh and dont sell anything of hers, regardless of how long it has not been used, to buy something for your RZR.....

Do not attempt to clean your paper air filter with compressed air! I'm convinced this is the #1 cause for premature top end failure. When you dislodge dust particles embedded in the paper element, the holes left in the filter will allow any smaller dust particles to make their way to the intake manifold. Doesn't take long to "dust" your engine! Polaris clearly states in the owner's manual "never attempt to clean the air filter."

I just replace the filter all together and call it good

Do not pass out in your rzr, or under it. Wildlife will get you!

Don't say I'm just going cruising with low gas, you'll wish you would have filled up!
