i took mine out for camping last night (30 degrees) so i let it warm up on choke for about 5 minutes and then rode it for about 5 minutes in low gear (about 10 mph) constant. when i got to the camp, it was still idling really low, like it wasn't warmed up yet. this normal??? during warm and cool weather, i don't even have to use the choke, and it idles just fine. so, would i still need to adjust the idle? or is that just how they act in warm weather?

 

Your question doesnt make sense.........what are you asking?

 

The colder temps will affect your jetting. Idealy, you should adjust your jetting to whatever the manual recommends for cooler temps. Unless you don't plan on riding it much in cold temps. You will also need to up your idle.

 

These things do take a long time to warm up, was a thread a while back on this too, do a search for warm in the polaris forum.

 

Yesterday I pulled my Sportsman 500 out of the garage into the 21 degree weather, started it, and it idled fine. Then, I drove out to the riding area, and unloaded the quad. Temp was still in the 20s. I started it and it wouldn't idle for more than a few seconds before dying.

What to do? Nothing. When it's cold, I'm just going to have to warm it up by riding it. No big deal.

 

remember its liquid cooled takes around 15 minutes before its warm.

 

That's pretty big of you coming from a guy with a Suzuki 500 icon. Now that's a bike that would never run or operate right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
