2014 Polaris Sportsman 550eps, 60 hours, 700 miles. I couldn’t be more disappointed. I went trail riding last weekend, after a day or so I noticed it didn’t want to start without giving it gas. It would idle rough and want to stall. After it warmed up everything seemed fine. I figured it was just a fouled plug.
I took it to the dealer, they changed the plug, checked the air filter, flashed the computer and all the basic stuff. Still had the problem. I’ve read posts on the forum about potential valve issues with the 550. They want $260 to adjust the valves, not including parts if needed. If that doesn’t work, they say they will need to inspect the piston rings etc for another $500, not including parts. Worse case scenario, I’m out $1200. Anyone else have a similar problem? What was the outcome? What would cause this on a new quad? Any advice?
P.S. I won’t even get started on the power steering issues I’ve had,(and continue to have) you can read my previous posts for that. LEMON.
