2016 sportsman spring upgrade

Looking at either highlifter or EPI lift springs for an upgrade. Just looking to stiffin it up some especially when riding 2up and a little added lift would be nice. Does anyone have any experience with either and which would you suggest? Also, on the high lifter web site it says 2011-2014's need an adapter. Are these really the only models that needs them?

backfire

Suggestions on why it does on decelleration from the exhaust?
The last 2 rides. 1st ride was a small pop pop pop sound. 2nd short ride was loud bangs on full throttle to coast.
Last year i replaced the rubber boot from the carb to the engine and that solved it. Been good all year now till just a few days ago. The new boot is still crack free.
plugs arent that old but i found a loose top part of the plug that screws onto the plug....fuel filter is good. Maybe an exhaust donut?
Have been playing in alot of water, but the 2 rides have been on road and dry.
I'll pick up new plugs today.
Machine starts and idles great..lots of power too.

Loud bang with out the engine turning over

Good morning. I need some advice. My 2005 sportsman 400 won't start. I turned the key as to start it and with out the engine turning over I hear a loud bang. It sounded electrical especially since nothing from engine turned. If I pull start it, it will only start once and it will run for a few seconds and die. Then it wont pull start till many hours later and it will do the same, start and not run more than a Second or 2.
What's the possibility it could be the selonoid or related? Any advice would be a great help ty
