Ok i have an 03 predator and i have a problem, every time i go out i ride for about 20 minutes somthing gets into my oil and thins it out and it makes my clutch slip, and when i pull the dipstick out oil over flows the oil tank. the oil is not white or a funny color ive replaced the head gasket thinking it was antifreeze but im beginning to think its gas any ideas thanks

sounds like fuel, water/antifreeze will give it the white milky look

im not too familiar with polaris so i cant help much with how its getting in there

when you figure it out make sure to post the solution so you may help others

good luck

Sounds like gas to me too....smell it next time....also, like posted...if your antifreeze isn't going down then its not that(and it will turn the oil whiter). The only way I know that fuel can get to the oil is through the rings. I would say its about time for a new set. I guess you could do a compression test to see where you are with that....
