Said Polaris set all the sensors back to original factory settings?? I never changes them? Trying a new computer if that's not it he is stumped and I will pick it up and bring it somewhere else?

I've got a local mechanic right here in the small town i live in. He works on pretty much everything. I usually just go to him and every time he's worked on one of my quads, he got it back to me very quickly. Though so far I've only had him replace known defective parts and I brought the part to him. In 2 days he's usually done, sometimes even the next day. If I had a new machine that was under warranty, i would take it to the dealer though. Their turn around is closer to 2 weeks instead of 2 days though. The local guy is only about a block away too. If I take something to him, i drive it there and simply walk back home and then walk back and pick it up when its done. Can't get much more convenient than that. There's an alley behind my home that I access to take my quad there to avoid getting on the road that connects to his shop. He works on anything from a chainsaw to 1 ton dually trucks. I don't think his lifts can handle anything heavier than that though.

Sensors aren't usually the problem. Still think they are by passing or not looking for shorts in the wiring that at times are hard to find and many times don't trip codes in either the speedos or even in Digital Wrench. The tps was the most common harness problem and the main reason https://otbpowersports.com/products/ came out with the stronger connectors and wiring.
