Ok so my atv has had a small lope when on cold idle occasionaly if I blip the throttle when it's doing this it seems to clear up, no engine lights no driveability concerns. Do notice it does take a extra cranking when cold, I'm leaning towards a tps issue? Or an iac, And I'm really hoping not signs of a timing gear spun, I currently have 2900 miles and 189 hours,
Has anyone else experienced this?, once warm it runs just as it should,

In September of 2017 myself and two friends traveled to Cherry Creek NV. We loaded the quads, my 16 Sportsman Touring 1000, a 2000 Polairs Sportsman 500 and a 2002 Grizzly 600 and headed into the mountains.

We established a base camp on BLM land about five miles north and 4000 feet higher than the town. From there we made daily trips that included some private ranch lad (with permission), the Pony Express trail and established trails through BLM land.

We rode the Pony Express Trail out to Butte Station. Butte was a former PE station that had been overrun by Indians twice. There we sat under Juniper trees and watched three different groups of mustangs come into water at a natural spring.

Overall a great trip, we saw no other riders and the few local people we did see we very friendly.

I have a 1000 Highlifter and am thinking about getting a power commander which will remove the rev limiter at 7500 rpm. What is the redline for the regular 1000 or what rpm are you at when going 60mph?

Hi Group

My name is Paul, I am a mechanic (cars) but are starting to get a few bike through the shop Polaris is one brand.
I thought I would join up and learn a thing or two about them, I have a few issues now and then and I have found the
best place sometimes are forums to nut the issues out.

Cheers

I've looked everywhere and can't find a proper answer for this.

I stored my 2009 Sportsman 500 HO EFI for 2 years with gas in it. Most likely ethanol gas. It ran fine before storing. When I first started it up again, I just got a clicking sound. So I changed the battery. That sort of worked. The engine now cranks. But it won't fire up. I'm planning on picking up a new spark plug in case the old one is shot.

Here's my dilemma. How do I get the old gas out? I'm quite sure it's the cause of the engine not firing up. With a carb engine, I know you can just disconnect the carb and drain it. Is there such a thing with fuel injection? Can I drain the fuel somewhere?

If I remove the gas tank and flip it upside down, is that enough to get rid of the old gas or do I need to flush out the EFI also? If so, how do I flush out the EFI?

Do you think I need to replace the fuel pump?

Thanks in advance.
