570 Won’t run higher than an idle

Yesterday I rode approximately 20miles in 40 degree weather on ice and snow. I parked the machine for about 2 hours went to go back to my truck with my machine and once I put it into high gear and started moving it wouldn't run any more than an idle with out cutting off and bucking. Check engine light was on, I didn't see a code. there was some snow packed around the battery. Today is started and ran without a problem and I was able to get the machine to over 50mph without an issue.

Im just looking for some insight of what the problem may have been from people who are much smarter than I. If this has been posted by someone else, I apologize in advance I didn't see it.

2017 sportsman 450 HO check engine

my Check engine light came on today. it started bogging when hitting the throttle in gear. i limped back to shore(i was on the lake). let it idle a bit and it was fine . drove another 6 miles and it happened again. the light goes on and off, when problem was . ATV was wet, but not submerged, maybe 4 inches of water. from what i read i have to get the codes when the check engine light is on. anyway i can get them now?

i dont want to go to dealer , and have him say, its fine. then get out in the woods and have an issue.

also, anybody have the EXACT instructions on how to get the diagnostic codes. my manual shows a display with a mode button on it. my mode button is my reverse override switch.

thx

Is the xmr gade really as stiff as everyone is saying?

So let me start off by saying that yes I've read the negative comments about trail riding an xmr renegade but is it really that bad? Has anyone here actually replaced the shocks because the ride is that uncomfortable?. I'm asking because I'm buying a new quad in the next couple weeks and it's narrowed down to the renegade xxc or xmr.. I'll be 60 percent trails 40 percent mud but I love the looks of the xmr a lot more. Price doesn't matter that much but I don't want a sore back after a couple hours of trail riding. Anyone with experience trail riding their xmr would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

2010 sportsman 550 Roll over

We rolled the quad over and it landed upside down. It was upside down for about 10 minutes. There was oil draining on the ground before we could get it right side up. We turned it back over and brought it to the garage. Removed the spark plug to check if there was oil in the cylinder. Plug was clean and dry. Tried to crank the engine and noticed that the Check Engine Warning indicator was on. Looked in the manual and it stated: "This indicator appears if an EFI-related fault occurs. Do not operate the ATV if this warning appears. Serious engine damage could result. See your dealer."

I really do not want to take it to the dealer if it is something that I can take care of myself.

Suggestions?

Need help with this dumb machine

This thing is getting increasingly irritating. take one step forward and two steps back kinda thing. Very long story short, machine would overheat randomly and the fan would sound really weak and after a while it stopped coming on all together, so it always goes into limp mode, to the point where i bought a radiator temp gauge rather than actually fixing the problem. Anyways it has a new fan on it (i tested it on a battery it works fine) Brand new battery (expensive $200 interstate) i've checked the fuse and relay in the front fuse box and they are good, if i have it running and i unplug the temperature sensor on the motor it goes into limp mode but does NOT turn the fan on, in my understanding if its the sensor if you unplug it the fan will come on correct? Help would be appreciated. Also does anyone know if i can buy a good quality rear diff plug? i bought one from canam and $30 later for a tiny plug, they shipped it in the worlds smallest bag, the size of the plug and it got lost. My original one stripped out and is stuck in there, still dont know how im getting that out yet, probably a screw extractor kit. Anyways thanks for reading, any help appreciated.

Burning thru Winch Rope – Advice needed

Hello, I am looking for some expert advice on what I might be doing wrong with my ATV winch rope setup. I use this for plowing snow in the winter. So far this winter we've had minimal snow so I haven't had to use the setup much, probably have an hour total of plowing. The issue is that the winch rope wears out very quickly. With one hour total of use and probably a few dozen ups and down of the plow blade, I am seeing significant wear on the rope. My setup is a warn winch, synthetic winch rope, Viper hawse fairlead which is brand new, warn plow steel plow blade. Attached are some pictures of my setup. Am I doing anything wrong? Anything I should do differently?
Thanks in advance!
