Bad idle and Bogging

2012 850 with (523) km
I got a code reading 520194
Found how to fix that I just took the slack out of the throttle cable.

the idle jumps up and down example 1200 down to 1020 then back up.
The throttle can not have any quick movement or it will bog or even die on you.
While your driving or in nutruel

The spark plug has been changed oils been changed emptied gas tank and put fresh gas in also air filter cleaned.

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Hey guys as you might have guess I’m from Australia. Western Australia. I had my quad for a few years now and just starting to use it abit more. Any way i have some issues with. I’ll try and out it in the right section.
My quad is a 1995 Polaris Magnum 425 2×4.

Dead short on ’00 sportsman 500

Had all my lights blow out on my 2000 sportsman 500. Even the control switch lights went out but not the speedometer. I have a voltage regulator under the seat in the storage container with the tools. It was for the winch and spotlight I added but later on removed the winch and light. Did a continuity test on all the lights and there is a complete circuit for all of them. I don’t know what else to do from here, is it the control switches or the after market voltage regulator

Hello,
So out of curiosity i would like to ride my 16 570l on the street occasionally to work or the store or red box for movies just a way of getting in the wind. What is the realistic life expectancty with good maintenance. You wont often find me in a mud pit more often trails and primarily ice fishing. Just wondering if ill put too many miles on too fast.
