Tracker 800SX Crew oil smell

[Waleygator]

New machine has 4 hours on it, 2 that I've put on.  Upon shutting it off, there's a very strong "new oil" burn smell.  Can I assume this will eventually go away with more hours?

Welcome to the UTV Board!

I know an engine may burn a little oil while the piston rings are still being broke in, usually a break in period lasts 20 hours, ( but rings usually seat pretty quick) , keep an eye on the oil level just in a case there is a leak.

Do you ever see smoke, or just smell burnt oil?

No, don't see any smoke thankfully.  Break-in is 20 hours and plan on letting the dealer do all required maintenance at least for the first time.  Thanks for the answer!

Have had my Tracker 800 SX since June 2020 and really enjoy the ease of entry and exit.  Just discovered a major issue that everyone should know about.  I purchased my machine at Bass Pro in Nashville, TN and had my break in service done at the Nashville Service center.  Used the UTV for hunting last fall and then put it away for winter.  Got it out today to play in the snow and found that the cooling system was frozen.  (that Polar Vortex in Feb of 2021, brought us 8 degree temperatures here in western Kentucky.)  Called Nashville service and they report they do not put any anti-freeze in the system when they do a service , just check the water level.  I cannot believe anyone sells a water cooled machine without insuring antifreeze protection in a new machine.  So here is the bottom line.  If you buy a new,$13,000 Tracker 800 SX do not assume it has antifreeze in it.  I appears you must take the new machine home, drain the radiator and then put in your own antifreeze.
