Starter bucking when starting.

I have an 2011 sportsman xp550 with about 4000 miles. I bought this atv new and it has sometimes started like its up against compression. Done this since new. It wont roll over very normal (you guys know what normal is) half the time when starting. Acts like it tries to kick back like a motorcycle kick starter.

Sometimes it rolls right over and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it will trigger the check engine light in the gauge cluster. I have went through 3 starters so far. Its been to my local Poo dealer and I have been told theres nothing he knows that will help this. HELP Thanks.

Help with 92 trx300 headlights and starter

So when i go to crank my bike and hit the electrical start button it will not do anything,but if i turn the handles to the right it will turn over and start. my headlights will also go out if i turn the bars too far to the right or left. Any ideas on why this is happening? is it a ground problem? any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

350 es shifter display blinking

I have an 04 rancher 350 es, I just put a new carb in it, starts and runs great except the shifter display is blinking, 3 blinks, not sure the correct code, found one post said the angle sensor and another said gear position switch, I also saw that after you replace the carb you need to reset the system, there was no problem with the shifting before the carb replace so I am thinking it is some kind of reset, can anyone advise, thanks
