2016 Outlander XMR 1000 Idling high, making shifting difficult.

Pretty much the title, started late last year.. parked it for winter, problem persists.

I had a tuner in there last year, it got wet and malfunctioned so I took it out and am running without one now. Would an ECM flash effect the idle RPM? The dealer ship thinks it could be the "Idle motor" or something, I don't quite remember.. Supposed to take it in tomorrow.



My friend thinks its just dirty clutches or a bad bearing. Not sure what to do as if I bring it to the dealer it will sit on their lot for a month, bike is pretty much not usable right now, have to shut it off to switch gears.



Any suggestions?

Rear Brakes Weak

Hello,

I just finished changing the brake pads on my 2012 Renegade 1000 XXC. I notice my rear brakes don't brake very well, i.e. won't lock up like the fronts. Basically the rear brake just gradually slows the bike down and doesn't bite like the front. The lever isn't squishy, there is resistance. When the bike is jacked up and the wheels are in motion, the brakes do stop the tires, they just don't seem to be very strong when under load. I can't recall if this is the same braking power as before I swapped the brake pads or not, since I just assumed the pads were low and needed replacing.. This may just be a coincidence.

Thanks,

Engine knock

Just want to know if this is “normal” or should I be concerned and have it looked at. My 850 sportsman has about 15 hours on it. Since new sometimes on cold starts It has what I call a hard piston slam when it fires up, a big clank, performed the first oil change this weekend, 5w50 and new filter, checked the oil today and it was perfect, cranked it and got the harshest engine clank yet when it fired up. Never does this when it’s been warned up, and doesn’t continue after Initial cold start,always Doesn’t seem good for the machine. Anyone else experience this?
