Welcome! Good machine. I know it's been over 9 years now,but make sure you have a SILVER colored ecm module under the front panel and not a black finned Chinese module.A bunch of machines still around that never had this recall done even when I retired.

IF you have the black module call a local dealer as it's still under a safety recall and no time limit with no cost to you!Huge ATV Recall by Polaris - Sportsman and Scrambler

Thanks guys for the welcome.
Thanks also for the heads up old polaris tech, I believe its been fixed by the previous owner as he mentioned about the recall and changing the ecm.
