Default Slow roll

Had a little accedent today, rolled my sportsman real slow had to really scramble to get out of the way. Of course I was way out in the woods and alone. The bike was upside down and running for about 30 secs till I got it turned off. Hooked winch to a 1' poplar sucker and pulled it on its feet. No damage except the plastic screws in the windshield. Anyways learned my lesson don't travel alone on rough terrain and don't climb hills at an angle. Thought I was a pretty good rider but I guess you never stop learning.

Check your oil level and your airbox. These guys leak their oil out the topend to the airbox when you flip them upside down. You will probably need a new air filter(or cleaning for K&N). Every newer Polaris I have seen roll has needed the footbrake bled after you get them right side up. (the newer ones with hydrolic rear pedal)

Thanks I just checked it out after reading your post fishslab, and sure enough about 1/8' of oil in air box, but the aux brake seems line. There was a little bit of oil on the outer filter but none on the inner filter, good excuse to get a K&N.
