I’m 66 y.o. and new to riding ATVs. We purchased a couple weeks ago to get us down to lake and back, about a 30 degree hill. Yesterday it died, then orange light w/steering wheel and exclamation mark came on. Power steering out. Diagnostic Code is 31. 520230. 1. Suggestions please?
Stop Screw Factory Setting XP 850 2012?
I have just been fiddling the throttle stop screw on my intake manifold which I cannot find any factory settings for. I wonder if anyone knows how many turns I should screw it in for optimal performance. The ATV is fully original. Thanks in advance

Running engine with no airbox and no fuel pump for problem diagnosis
Will an ATV run fairly OK with only minor adjustments needed with the airbox/filter removed? I mean a lawnmower will, so why not a ATV?
Also, to by-pass the fuel pump, can you gravity feed the carb? E.g. does a motorcycle have to have a fuel pump, or does it gravity feed the bowl due to the fact that the tank is always higher than the carb?
General questions as I am fairly new working on ATVs, and wondering what my options might be to eliminate certain parts as being 'the problem'.
I have been having issues trying to get my ATV to run right lately, and I would like to eliminate the fuel pump. But I also just installed all new guts in the carb, and would like to adjust the carb a bit before I put all the airbox stuff back on. it is a pain and time consuming to remove.

renegade frame pic request
So here is an odd request. I'm looking to compare renegade frames from 2012 and up. specifically the front radiator mount area. Care to share some pictures? Feel free to IM me and I can also send you an email address to send to as well.
This is the area I'm interested in. Any angle is fine and let me know if you have modified it in any way.

Thanks!

Problem after rollover Outlander 800R Max ltd
Hi all,
I'm sitting here typing with my left hand only because my right arm is broken and is in plaster and a brace, bruised ribs and bruises all over my body after a rollover 4 days ago. It happend on the road with low speed, all most no speed at all. I was stopped at a stop sign to take a left turn on a main road, so I take of as always but as soon I take the turn it was like my handlebar was pulling all the way to the left and that causes the rollover. My luck was that I have a big topcase on the back the protected me from the total weight of the quad. So the quad did a full rollover and landed to a on his left side. My luck was that there was no up cumming traffic because I was landed on the wrong side of the road since I did a full turn (like you would do a donought ). After a few seconds there was a friendly bus driver that stopped and helped me to get the quad back on his 4 wheels. The engine was still running and I was full of adrenaline and picked up all my stuff that was on the road and didn't realised that my arm was broken and drove home ( only a few miles ). When I was home I saw that he was leaking oil in the front , it comes from before the engine and drips on the main frame beam. It is not engine oil, any clue what oil it could be and what causes the problem for the rollover. The outlander is a 2012 MAX ltd model.
Regards Kris

Touring wheelbase better?
Hey guys, noob here.
While searching some new Polaris models, I was trying to figure out why the touring was always so much more expensive. It couldn't just be for a seat. The touring showed (online anyways) the wheelbase was 5.5 inches longer, and overall length 3 inches longer if I remember correctly. Is there any benefit or drawbacks to this?
I'm looking towards a machine for plowing, help around the house, and fun of course. But I really don't need the second seat...
What's your thoughts?

Dead in the woods
Earlier tonight, I was riding out of the woods after riding with some friends. As I was coming down the trail, my sportsman started acting funny. It started with the instrument cluster going out and the headlights diming. If I cut the headlights off, the cluster would come back on and I noticed that it was saying low voltage (around 9.8). I attempted to get out of the woods but it just died and would not start back up. Now, I purchased this Sportsman 570 in September brand new from my local dealer and I have a hard time believing that the battery would die in just 4 months. After we were able to tow it out of the woods, we hooked it up to a battery charger and after about 10 minutes it started back up but shortly died. Has anyone had an issue like this? I've heard of the issues with the voltage regulators being an issue but I'm not sure if it would be that or just a defective battery. Any suggestions?
Radiator relocation
Does anybody know if there is anyone else who sells radiator relocate kits for 570 efi other than the highlifter or wild boar kits?
