I bought a used 2004.5 Sportsman 400 {4×4} from a fellow that’s local to where I live. He had taken good care of it and all appears to be working well with the exception of accelerating from a dead stop. When I put it in high or low forward gear I have to accelerate to a higher RPM before it’ll start moving forward. Once moving all is well. But each time I stop I’ll have the same problem. It feels like the brakes are on then releases at a certain RPM. But, I know this isn’t the case because it will freely roll forward if pushed. If I place it in reverse I only need to touch the gas and it’ll start moving as expected.
Is this comment to the Sportsmans 2004.5 series or do you guys think something could be wrong, and if so, what do you feel my problem could be?
Thanks everyone,
Tony B.
