We are getting engine hot check engine message. The fan is working, impeller is operating and rad is full. 5 years ago we relpaced the ECM and temperature sensor as well as a new cluster. What should the ohm reading be on the temperature sensor?

First question, If mixing fule instead of using oiler do you still need to keep resevor full for oilling anything else?

Second question I put a new battery in that reads 10-13 volts on a meter but still have to hook battery charger up to it to get it to turn over...Any thoughts..

Curious if anyone has had any of the issues I'm having... Brief history...I bought this bike a month ago brand new from the dealer. It was kept inside and had 1 mile on it when I drove it home and I watched the service department put that mile on it while they were doing the "pre-delivery" check. I rode the bike 1 time for 18 miles. The bike was not sunk or anything like that but the radiator cracked and they replaced the radiator under factor warranty the following week. I got the bike back 2 weeks ago and even when I pulled it off my trailer, it started having overheating issues. The bike has never gone into limp mode, but the high-temp light now comes on at 232 degrees when it idles. Prior to the new radiator, the bike never went above 210 degrees, even constantly riding it on trails between 3-10mph. Now, it runs at 210 on average and if I'm not keeping it at 15mph or faster, it will shoot up into the 230's and the overheat light comes on. I have taken the bike in mud that is about a foot deep and washed well each time. The front of the radiator is clean as a whistle. The rear is much more difficult to see, but appears to be clean as well. Against the dealerships advice due to the warranty, I purchased a rad-relocate kit from Wild Bore that I plan to install this week, in hopes this cures the issue, but I don't think it's going to....I think there is an underlying issue. As soon as I get 3 words out of my mouth to the dealer, they start accusing me of abusing the bike, so if I can correct the issue myself, I'd rather do it and not even talk to them, even if I have to spend a few bucks.

Hi I have a Polaris sportsman cover and back rest for sale, for some reason I can’t post pictures here. Please email me directly for pictures dbmuise@msn.com.
Thanks

I have a 2014 XT 650, I am looking to put new tires on it. The stock fronts are 26x8/12. Will a 26x9/12 fit on the front with no clearance issues? Also, any suggestions on a good all around, all terrain tire? I am looking at the ITP mud lite xl, any thoughts? Thank you, any feedback will be appreciated!

Hello all. Having issues getting 570 Sportsman to start. Think key on crank may be sheared. Lined up V on flywheel in the crank position sensor hole. Stuck screwdriver in spark plug hole to see if it went down when I turned the crank. It kept going up about another couple inches.

Shouldn't the piston be at Top Dead Center when the V is lined up?

Lined up Cam according to manual with V in center of window and bike backfires through intake and blows throttle body out of intake boot.
