gas in crankcase: sportsman 700

hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I've got a 2003 Polaris sportsman 700 twin. I just bought it from somebody. a neighbor actually, so I got to just drive it down the road home. a few days later I went to start it and drive it around and it was bogging down, wouldn't really run. anyways I found like a quart or more of gas in the crankcase. it was blowing up thru the breather hose on the valve box into the air filter box. so I'm in the process of changing the oil and cleaning the carb to keep it from dumping fuel again. my main question is that I'm concerned about my bearings and pistons. I drove the thing maybe a mile when it had dumped the fuel, just trying to figure out what the prob was. is that enough time to do any damage? it ran fine when I parked it to work on it. just want to know if theres any concern for bearing and piston damage. and how to keep this fuel dump from happening again!! I'm guessing the float stuck? not sure tho. any comments would be awesome! thanks!

2nd rear calliper.

Has anyone fitted a second rear calliper?

I was shocked to find my 2016 xxc had only one rear calliper. It’s supposed to be well equipped?! And I actually would like a sharper rear brake if possible.

Has anyone ever replaced a carb with a efi unit on a 2013 sportsman 500 HO?

2005 Sportsman 800 Total Loss of Power

Newbie here, but I've searched and can't find anything related to my issue. I have a 2005 Sportsman 800 EFI that is totally losing electrical power. It doesn't seem to matter what the weather is, how long I've been riding, nothing. It will run for about a minute, then lose all power and die. After 30 to 45 seconds, it comes to life again and starts just fine. It does this over and over. The timing of these events seems very consistent, so I think it could be a problem with the ECM? Does anyone have any input on the issue?

Thanks!
