So anyone else lose theirs?
My driver side plug is already MIA. Any tips on keeping them in before I order a couple more of em?
Maybe some bicycle inner tube as a gasket to provide some friction?
And of course Polaris didnt design a plug that wouldnt fall through the same hole it was supposed to be plugging.

Find a big o ring to take up the slop.

 

[General Todd]

Yeah....I found the drain plug thread after the fact.
Anyone have a part # or is it the same as the razor plug?

 

[Rocklong]

Just heat the ears on the plug a little with a torch or heat gun take a pliers and bend them down some and let them cool. They will fit good and tight and actually turn hard. I had to use a pliers to turn mine into place but they are not gonna fall out.

Oring help

I know it's been mentioned but for those looking at doing the o-ring fix (everyone should) you need a 1/8" thick 1-1/2" id o-ring. Local hardware store should have them for under a buck.
We had looked at machining plugs with a larger od on the top so they would not be able to fall out it left lose, but sense the perfect fix cost under a buck we decided against it.

I thought i lost mine but it fell through the hole and was in the skidplate look there befor you buy one

 

[Rocklong]

Mine where there too.

 

[Rusty nut garage]

Thank yo for the picture I posted the fix along with others but it was never explained as well as you did with this picture. >

Mine is mounted from top, so far haven't lost it, but I like the idea of the o-ring to make the plug more secure.

Is this something they changed for 17 ? Mine fits some what snug and mount from top?

 

[MMX]

They all mount from the top, but on the '16s at least, they are so sloppy fitting, they can actually work through the hole, and get lost on top of the skid plate.

This is what I did but instead of pliers I just heated the ears and pressed it down on the shop floor and let it cool. Nice and snug now.

 

[jseifers71]

Same as UncleB- I found mine on skid plate.

 

[Carbon Summit]

found both of mine when I changed my skid plate to a trail armor. Going to get some o rings.

 

[Trapper]

I have had o rings for almost 2000 miles they never fall out and drain good.

Thought we lost one in July...first trip. Bought two from CheapCycleParts.com

Doing a bit of a mod to my Rokblokz mud flaps...and there the lost plug is sitting on top of the skid plate right behind the front frame tube.

I'll have to follow the fix...

This fix works perfectly! Makes it a good bit more difficult to turn the plug...but who cares? At clean up time use a pair of pliers.

At my Ace Hdwe the correct O-ring is:

Danco Stock No. 35879B

Just sayin'

I have a 2019 and mine fell through the first time I rode it around the yard. Def going with the O-ring fix. Thanks for the advice
