Wheel Size
I’ve got a chance to buy a used set of stock wheels and tires off a 2013 rzr900. The size is 27-9-12 and 27-11-12. First , is the bolt pattern the same as a 2004 500HO sportsman? and is their enough clearance under the fenders ?. I have 25’s on now and there seems to be plenty of room.
Thx Much for the help.

My first adventure into 4 Wheelers!
However it has a few kinks which I need opinions on:
First a pic!

Keeping in mind i’m a wheeler newb but I’m pretty mechanically sound.
I ripped it around my yard last night after getting it off the truck and I came inside and my clothes smelled strongly of gas fumes (assuming it’s running rich) Google tells me it could be an injector or two dumping fuel? The oil level looks fine but it also could be some shoddy wiring. I haven’t torn it apart yet but I wanted to ask if it’s a wheeler thing for them to run rich for the first bit of driving? I’ve driven it a total of 10 minutes. I’ve done the diagnostics and no codes came back.
The second thing is the idle has a mind of it’s own, sometimes you need a bit of throttle to start it (not recommended in the OWNERS MANUAL! lol) but if you make the tiniest of adjustments to the cable on the bars the idle either dies out or climbs, it’s really had to find a middle ground.
The gear selector is very finicky, I noticed when I followed the rod back to the pivot point there was a lot of play in the bolt that attached to the engine, does anyone know this part? can it be replaced?
I think that’s it for now! I love forums and I try and contribute when I can, I come from a Jeeping/Motorcycle background.
