04 sportsman stalls in reverse sometimes

When I put it in reverse and give throttle it hesitates and eventually stalls. I am aware there is a safety feature that normally limits engines rpm unless overide is pushed. The speedo needle jumps around as well. If I hold on the override bottom it is fine. Seems like the reverse Rev limiter is over acting. Speedo works fine in forward and reverse with button pressed in. Any ideas? I assume if it was the wheel speed sensor then speedo problems would occur in forward as well.

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
