Hi everybody,
I have a Polaris Dragon 800 with some issues:
-Requires a bit of throttle for starting
-Will idle sometimes, sometimes not
-Dies when I give a slight tug on throttle cable on handlebars
Anybody else out there with similar issues/solutions?

Sound so like throttle safety switch issues. Check throttle cable adjustment, should be able to search forums for info on that process. Bypass the switch to test, but I wouldn’t ride with the TSS disabled without a tether.

Good luck!

Sounds like the throttle adjust screw on the throttle body is tightened up but the slack isn't out of the cable, dead man switch is activating. If memory serves there is an inline adjuster in the cable a little ways from the throttle block. You can use it to take slack out of the cable.
