Are there any problems with the highlifter DHT axles?

Why does my Polaris highlifter keep filling with water?
Pulling the clutches and RTV’ing the back plate and all seams. My CVT kept filling with water and its because they barely sealed it from the factory. If you dont like the headlights, i upgraded to “Hays Fabrication”. Dylan Hays on Facebook makes custom lights. Plug and play and are bright as hell.
What’s the best spring for a Polaris highlifter?
Dalton Springs primary spring. takes away the lag in the beginning. Full power at 1500-1600 RPM with no gentle climb into it. Always have a spare axle or belt along with a tube of RTV and you’ll be set. I usually change oil and diff fluid after every other ride. Ive replaced a few axle seals from the mud tearing them up but that’s pretty simple.

How can I tell if my Polaris Indy trail 488 engine is bad?
Don’t pull it apart until you do a compression test!! If you don’t have/can’t afford a gauge then at least turn the ignition off, pull the plugs, hold your thumb over the plug hole and have someone pull it over. It should pop the thumb pretty good.

Why does my Polaris ATV run out of gas?
It acts like it runs out of gas OR the spark fails. I put a new fuel filter, fuel pump, and nice fresh gas on it. I seen on the polaris site that the spark plug cap can be bought apart from the coil. Could it possibly be a coil problem?

How long does a Polaris ATV run before it dies?
It runs about 10 minutes, dies. The really weird part is that if you let it sit about 5 minutes it starts right back up again and runs great again. That is until it dies again.
