Just took my 2018 summit 850 for my first ride. When i started it, it was idling rough i waited until the temp was good and took it for a ride.
I did about 2 miles with it and notice that I had no power trough the whole rpm range. Then I shut it off an started it again after a few minutes, it would idle really rough and backfire if I would give it some gas. Now it start and die if i give it some gas and the idle is terrible.
Could it be an injector or something like that. There's no code on the screen
help please

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I took it to the dealer they change the plugs and they tried it again. It was still doing the same thing, so they change one of the injector that seemed to be bad . Didn't worked, so they decided to change the power valves servo and they re-program them and now it's fine.
So it kind of hard to tell what was the real problem. I ran it for about 800 miles since I took it to get it service and never had any other issues.
