Hey guys,

Wondering why this negative cable battery wouldn't be hooked up from factory. Or what this is for exactly.

Looks like the there wasn't a proper PDI done on this unit. Didnt hook up the battery correctly, or remove the oil from the air filter. I would be talking to your dealer.
DranttelSS thank you for the reply.

The color off the liquid resembles the color of my coolant. But you believe that this is the engine oil in the air filter / box?

this is oil from your air filter . u need to clean up the oil as it will drip on your belt , which is not good for your belt . the dealer should have maybe done this for u or informed u about the situation, or instructions on cleaning the oil , these filter don't require any oil on them ,

Excellent thank you sledding rocks. I got all the oil out of the pipe as in the picture. Is soap and water recommended to clean the air filter? It doesn't really say in the manual on what to use just to clean it. I would assume light soap and water?

thanks

I use either a parts cleaning solvent or gasoline , soak it ,then squeeze all the product out ,
then rinse in warm water , then squeeze out again ,
then blow dry with air compressor till dry , once completely dry install it back together , make sure u check the primary clutch for any oil dripping off the belt guard and clean it with a rag , don't want oil on the belt or clutches .
