I heard that this line makes a hell of a mess laying towards the belly pan. Wondering if anyone has a simple fix for this, maybe reservoir or something?????
I extended the hose and run it out by the exhaust can on my 2012. I think you will be ok on the 2013 in the same location, it does not puke that much oil. Hope it helps
Ya it makes a hell of a mess. I usually extend the hose down by the exhaust. There is a hole in the belly pan right beside the exhaust outlet that you can drill out bigger and put the hose out.
One fellow figured we can remove the lines right from the exhaust valve and plug them off. He says the pressure is very minimal. I dont like this idea. I'm thinking the engineers at Polaris put them there for a reason. Looks like i will also lenghten mine.
Thanks Guys
I just moved mine into the front of the bellypan closer to where I can wipe it down. It's better then the stock location under the engine and close to the clutch.
scrfe: Look for the ~1/4" ID black hose that goes from the selenoid above you pipe and down to under the engine.
Ya lots of guys are just capping them off. They say there is a bit of a preformance increase. It just makes them operate like they did no the older VES sleds. You may have to play with the springs to get them to open at the correct times. I tried it on my old 800 and was never able to dial it in properly.
The solenoid is for emissions only. I capped the barbs on the ves valves with automotive vacuum caps as well as the barb on the solenoid. makes the ves valves work like the old ves motors, and the motor computer does not know any different.
What happened to all the black gooy stuff in the ves motors??? the solenoid keeps the valves from opening at low rpms and making your motor burn that stuff instead of passing threw the exhaust and onto the ground. the gooy stuff is excess that makes its way threw the lines to the solenoid. Capping the lines also increases a bit of throttle response.
Its basically the same as a EGR valve in a truck/ car motor.
