Possible EPS problem

I have a 2018 Sportsman 1000. This is my first with EPS, and when I test road one at the dealer you could turn the handlebars with 1 finger when stopped on a nice polished concrete floor. Mine is hard to turn when parked on regular concrete. I pulled the relay and notice no difference in turning assistance when stopped. While driving I think it’s working, but not sure. Is there any test I can perform to confirm it is working before loading it up for the dealer. I can hear the EPS when the key is turned on and I have no trouble codes. I also keep the battery fully charged with a tender.

I have tried to find videos of how easy the bars should turn, but have not found any. I did read where some do not get much assistance when parked, but when moving the EPS is fine.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Help sportsman intermitingly backfires and stalls

I have a 2012 sportsman 800 and yesterday i went riding and it ran fine for the first 30mins. Then the quad started to backfire and stalling and the ingine light came on.
I tried several times to start it after ckecking the plugs and plug wires and it still was backfiring and stalling.
Then the next day it started up and ran perfect all day, the check ingine light even went away - i rode for 30miles. When we got back to camp i stopped riding for about 30mins and when i went to start the quad back up it once again started backfiring and stalling and the check ingine light came back on... any ideas as to what is going bad?

2009 sportsman 400HO choke ?

When you pull the choke for a cold start should the atv go on a higher idle until you push the choke back in? Mine doesn`t. It floods with choke out. Will not idle until the atv has warmed up regardless of where the choke is. Is this normal and if not what might be wrong? Thanks

Starter drive is shot

So I went out wheeling and heard a metal rattling noise I get home and start digging and find the starter drive counter weight is broken into four pieces. Without ordering a whole new one is there a way to rebuild what I have? My bike is a 2006 Outlander 400.

New Renegade owner

Hey all, new to the forum but have been lurking for about a year now. I just ordered my 2018 Renegade 1000 from the dealership. I have been doing a lot of reading and it seems like a lot of guys spend more time wrenching on these machines than riding them, especially with the rear diff. I am coming off a Grizz 700 that I never had a single problem with. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem working on my stuff and doing maintenance religiously, I am just worried I will spend more time and money fixing stuff than riding. I also dont abuse my equipment (although it is an XMR so it will be abused a bit). I know that people come to message boards and online to complain more often than not, so hopefully I'm just being paranoid for no reason. Basically I'm looking for reassurance that I didn't just drop 15k on an endless fix and money pit.
