I posted this over on the IQ Polaris sub -forum, but as it is basically the same sled I thought I would drop it in here, I know we have a bunch of diehard 900 guys.. Trying to decide which way to jump....
I bought my wife a 06 700 RMK and the first trip out I popped a check engine light in the parking lot and went into limp mode. I called my dealership to see if they could throw digital wrench on it and give me an idea what the issue was. They pulled it all apart and found a broken wire to the TPS, so I had them fix it and reset the TPS for me. Took it to McCall Sunday and it rode like a champ for the first 20 miles or so. Then I started having issues getting it started unless I held the throttle open a VERY small bit. Then she started having a slight bog issue and swapped me sleds. I noticed that the temp light was flickering so I checked that and it was at 215, then the MFD started going on and off, and when it was on, I only had 1 bar on the volt meter. I pointed it back to the trailer 3-5 miles away, and as the RPM came up I got 3 bars. The only other issue with the sled I’m aware of is that the Brake light isn’t working.
I checked the grounds last night and I think they were OK. Hopefully I can get home while there is still some light tonight to try and swap the VR out with the one I have on my '05 900 to see if that makes a difference, if not I can tear things down further and test the capacitor. Am I on the right track here or should I be looking at the stator?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
