CEL: Code 520194 3

Well the 570 has been running great up until last weekend. Right near the end of my ride i got a Check engine light and a code 0 520194 3

I already tried adjusting my throttle cable with no luck.

I guess it’s time to pull the throttle body and give it a good cleaning.

On your pre-ride checklist……

Seems a simple thing, but I don’t know how long mine has gone without it, though there is only about 30 miles on it. The rubber strap on the battery is an awful piece of crap, and mine proved it somewhere along the way. While looking at it the other day, I found mine half-there. Looks almost like somebody cut it, it was so perfectly sliced. At any rate, there was one S hook and about a third of the rubber there, with nothing holding the battery down. A bungee cord is going to be double wrapped around it this time-I’m not buying another likely overpriced piece of crap.

:lame:

Convert a Touring to a one up

Since 99.9% of the time I ride one up, I don’t need the backrest part of the Touring seat. I didn’t buy a Touring with the intentions of carrying a passenger, I bought it for the stability that the longer wheelbase offers. The backrest is in the way of putting a rack bag on. However, the 570 backrest doesn’t just pop out like the XP backrest does. The bracket that holds it in place is also part of the main seat mount, with the grommets that the seat snaps into to hold it in place.
It’s a simple matter of removing four screws to remove the bracket, but you must replace it with another plate. Easy to fab one up and install, and just as easy to put the backrest back on if you ever wanted to. I used a piece of 1/8" aluminum plate, which is plenty since the plate doesn’t really support any weight to speak of. With my cargo bag mounted, it acts as a backrest if I ever need to carry a passenger.
A few pictures.

Clutching for altitude

My wife and I now have identical twin 570 T EPS atv’s. When I say twins, they even have the same build date on them. The dealer I bought mine from changed out the clutch weights for the high altitude set, as part of their machine setup, while my wife’s dealer didn’t do the high altitude setup. Since our machines are twins, all the way down to the same tire/wheel combination, it will be interesting to see if the different clutch weights actually make a noticeable difference.

3 head light mod.on a 2015 570

I see the two lights under the front rack are on a relay next to the eps relay do I run a single wire to power that relay when on high beam or jump wires at the switch to have all 3 on by keeping that relay on? not sure if older sportsmans had a relay or not for the 2 fixed lamps.
