so, i experienced the dreaded melted plastic on my 2005 800 this weekend after pulling my trail mower at slow speeds during 95 degree heat. has anybody heard of using a programmer with an improved fuel map to cut down on exhaust temperatures?

I got a 2010 Sportsman 550Xp and looking to get a set of new tires for it. Anybody have any knowledge of how big of tire I could go without doing any suspension changes? I just wanna slap them on my stock 14" rims and go.

Also anybody want to give some recommendations on a good snow /mud tire with deep treads without alot of knobbie feeling on the roads that have good life spans

Hi everyone.. I got a 2010 Sportsman 550XP EFI and Im getting a trouble code of 520193-7 which Im told is the IAC circuit. I checked for bare/broken wires and tested the IAC with ohm meter and all checked out good. I am also having an issue with starting the bike, single click and nothing else, if I use a screwdriver across the solenoid itll start, and also sometimes just immeadiately shuting off, usually after romping on it a little and then letting off, it's like all power is taken away NOW. Shuts off very very quickly. Has anyone ran into the issue/code and does anyone know if a bad battery would create these issues, including the IAC code.

P.S. It's the original battery in bike..

Thanks in advance,

Bob

I recently purchased a 2002 Polaris Xplorer 250 4x4. It does not start and I have been trying to get it to start. Everything electrical is working great and I have a good spark. Also, fuel is being delivered and I took the carb out and cleaned it well. Today I did a compression test and only turned up 30 psi and I know this is way too low. And its not my gauge because I tested the gauge on my lawnmower and it turned up over 100. I took the valve cover off and the head gasket seems to be OK. I just can't figure out where I am losing compression and what the best way would be to get enough compression to start it up. Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Long story short...my girlfriend put her 99 scrambler 400 4x4 into a puddle (pond) today. We towed it home and pulled off the filter, carb, air tube on the lower left side and spark plug. We turned it over a bunch to get some water out but not sure where to go from here. I'm mechanically inclind and will be trying to get it going my self but I know nothing about 2 strokes. Motorcycles and cars yes. Need detailed help. More info the better.
Thanks in advance
BTW new to quading...the both of us and have really been enjoying it. Except today!!
