850 Low idle on cold start.

I went to start to start the bike up this morning. Fired up but then idled to around 1100-1200rpm kinda stumbling lower even maybe to 1000 rpm. Then it made a pop sound then sounded real rough. Almost as if it was running on one cylinder. I let it be for a minute or two. Came back and noticed it was still running rough. Touched the throttle to try and clear it out. After that i could smell oil then it died. Started it back up nd it idled normal but could still smell oil and i could see a little white smoke coming out. It cleared within 30 seconds but i know this is not normal. It only has 14hrs on it. Always allowed to warm up before using and by no means hard on it. It was 9c out so nothing extreme. Since new it would idle lower at around 1300 when left outside for the night. In the shop its starts fine. Is this a warranty issue? Or a fix i can do myself? Thanks

Burnt to a crisp. Now what?

So I get home to see my wife balling her eyes out. She had started my atv and moved it all of 10 feet and shut it off only to see sparks and smoke coming from around the ignition key. Within 30 seconds the bike was engulfed in flames and now is just a molten mess of nothing.
Do you think that extended warranty will cover it?

Heated shields

Is a heated shield needed for the winter in upstate New York or will an insulated one work?

Hey guys im looking into tires for my bike ive been looking for a long time to find something that fits my riding style. Anyways i think im going to go with either the cst wild thang or maxxis zilla, being that i have the sp model i have 14" rims, just wondering if anyone know if ill be able to clear the 10" wide fronts and 12" wide rears in a 27" tire that id like to run. I really wantes to run the bearclaw htrs but they dont make 27s so theyre out of the question 😞. If youve got pics post em up thatd be great thanks guys.

Active descent help

I have a 2007 sportsman 800 efi . I believe it has the active descent on it .i can’t seam to find the reservoir. In the manual it says it’s next to the radiator filler cap . I have looked but don’t see it , even had the front plastics off a few weeks prior as I did tie rod ends. I believe it has it be as soon as I let off the throttle it slows down and you feel the front like dip a bit. Anyone have a picture maybe that could show me or maybe point me in the direction, or correct me if I’m wrong lol .. thank you
