2015 xp1k runs rough off idle

Anyone ever seen a 2015 xp1k car run rough at part throttle and at lower rpm. Has 200 miles on it now, but has do e it since 0. Runs fine with a bit of throttle or at higher rpm in a load, but under no load at light throttle, is I’d very choppy, almost missing, and honestly don’t idle really smooth. I have three other friends with new xp1 cars and they are smooth. Quests ill be taking it in for warranty work already unless I find out its something simple. I will try plugs but doubt its that. Maybe an unbalanced injector, or jumped tooth on cam? Runs great everywhere except lower rpm and light throttle.

Checking Engine Oil Level

I wondered why Polaris would specify running the engine and then shutting it off and checking the oil level after about 15 seconds. That is what is in my 2014 XP owners manual and shop manual. I thought it didn’t matter if you checked it after it sat awhile or according to the manual. I just did an experiment. It has been sitting a couple of days and I checked the oil level without starting. The stick indicated just right on the full mark. I ran it a couple of minutes and then shut if off and checked the oil level right at 15 seconds. The stick indicated just right on the add mark. I think the cause is a lot of the oil is pumped up into the engine and takes awhile to drain back. IMO that’s not a good situation since most people don’t read the manual and just check the engine oil before a ride without running the engine first. I apologize for the picture quality. My camera didn’t want to focus… First picture is before running the engine and second is after running the engine and checking at 15 seconds. BTY that engine has about 150 hours on it and about 40 hours since the last oil change. Doesn’t use any oil and runs perfect.

XP1K and NOS???

Has anyone had any luck spraying NOS into a 1000? If so, what are the details of your build? I was thinking about plumbing in a motorcycle wet kit, starting with a small shot, and see what happens from there.
