Speaking of fuel filter...
Has anyone cross referenced a fuel filter for a Polaris Quad. I've been using these in my '06 Max with good success. Fits nicely in the saddle under the seat too.

Thanks for posting that, also Fram fuel filter - #F21124 works well. No need for the over priced dealer filter. I'm sure there are more. I like the clear ones for obvious reasons.

You can do the same thing w/your oil filter. Shiny slivers, in a 'gold' color, "oh, noooo!"

I Use a Napa Gold 3011.

It fits perfectly in the stock location and is only about $3 at the local Napa Store.

+1.....I use the equivalent....but the last one that I bought was about 3.50. It has stepped ends on it...so just cut the 1/4 inch pieces off. And its clear.

Your carbs will not be as bad as that filter.
I use this one because you can reuse it and clean it as often as you like.

Over time the sintered bronze filters can and do clog. I'm assuming that's probably what's in that one.

When that day comes, try burning-off the crud w/a propane torch. Heat the element well, and let it cool, and then re-install it. Blow thru it to see if that did it, if not, spring for the replacement, big spender.

We like using the glass filters with replaceable inserts. The initial cost is around $13 but then the inserts are cheap from then on.

Ditto. You can even clean those inserts.

I haven't bought any replacements in years.
