I could really use your help. I have a 2009 Sportsman 500 X2 ATV with EFI. Last night while hauling the trash up my long driveway, I started having a problem. When I turned to the right, all power died and killed the engine. I turned left and the power was back on and I could restart the engine. I could go left or straight but not right. I had a problem with a broken light wire 2 years ago and I figured it was broken wire from the ignition. I jammed my hand up in the wiring and I was able to go to the right slightly and get it to the garage. In the garage it was the same – to the right it died , left ok, but it was getting worse. I could see down the headlight enclosure that a yellow wire had broken, so to fix it I had to tear off the headlamp, pars, etc.
When I got everything off, I found several wires broken an a couple with broken insulation. Is this a QC problem on these models? I use it lightly and never off road. I was going to splice in new wires, but is this the best way to go. IMPORTANT Can I buy a manual with wiring diagrams on-line?
