Howdy! Just beginning to collect needed info on my new to me 2011 Sportsman 500 HO:grin; lower km's at 2500 km's @ 250 hrs :).
In most need of a pdf Service Manual for 2011 Sportsman 500 HO so I can do a good mech once over this winter. Found a good popular post started here in 2012 where you could purchase pdf ser man's for $8; is he still selling them? and found another site that just sold pdf for $10 but didn't have my specific model; I think its the specific "2011 400-500 HO" (carb-ed) service man needed.
Which leads to the first question; Im smelling gas; this might be left over smell due to transporting it home in a trailer from the gentleman I bought it from; or a warren carb needle and seat.
Other suggestions on known stuff to check would also appreciated; shift lever seems a bit loose, side to side, is that normal? will do as much preventative maintenance over the winter.
Cheers bc dave
