Question – Rough Idle on Polaris 800 ONLY WHEN COLD
It just recently started running with rough idle at start up until the machine gets up to operating temp then it runs smooth.
It will start up and run for about 1 minute and then stall. I fire back up and bring the RPMs up and let off the gas and it will idle for a bit and then stall.
After about 5 minutes the machine roughs perfect.

My theory. I have some seepage around the exhaust manifold gasket area. I am thinking the fuel map is hunting around at cold start due to the exhaust gasket seepage, The computers is trying to find the right fuel spray but it can’t because of the exhaust out. It can not find the right fuel ratio map?
Running rich? Until the machine gets up to temp, then all good!?
NOTE: this problem got much worse when temps dropped below 50 degrees
Your thoughts?

Date from frame number?
The frame # is 2275903 the engine is a Yanmar L100AE 406cc.
On the plastic belt drive cover is a date stamp for the cover and it shows Dec 94 but it could of had a new cover sometime.
Can anyone tell me a date from the frame #
Thanks, Kev
Question on rear rack mounted trunks
I’m looking at the Quad Boss weekender in particular & like most of the others, it comes with a seat. Now I don’t plan on carrying a passenger, but for trail breakdowns & whatever other situation you may run into, it would be nice if this trunk was mounted securely enough to safely put a passenger in.
I know they say it’s not meant for passengers, but come on? They say it’s for resting on the trail, but if that’s the case, what’s up with the moulded arm rests, hand holds & what looks to be a super comfy ass fitted seat cushion….you might fall off your machine while taking a break? These things are def meant for a passenger, they just don’t want to be liable for the idiots that sure to get hurt while riding 2up on a std. machine.
If I had the tubular steel racks, it wouldn’t be an issue, but what are you guys doing that are running these trunks?
brake caliper issue
rear caliper piston pressure

Help!! How do I take off my tired?
I have a very dumb question. I’ve tried see hung the forum already but haven’t found the answer to my question yet so I’m reaching out for help. I just purchased a new set of wheels / tired for my ride. I took out a floor Jack and a car jack and can’t seem to life my front end high enough to have the wheels in the air. Am I suppose to lift the front end in a certain area to achieve enough clearance to take off the wheels? Thank you very much for any help or tips.
