Hey Bendix what part of NB you from?? All our riding here in NB is under 2000ft but if you dropped to a 167 or 165 and check you plug you should be fine. I dropped my 500 form 152.5 to 147.5 and it works much better. I might have to go up to 150 for the winter....

 

In addition to the re-jetting.

Change your primary spring to an EPI pink. It allows the engine to rev a bit higher in the powerband when doing hill climbs and such. It has no other detrimental effects but does allow for better operating flexibility in high range.

 

Yeah, NB...... I'm from Saint John
I'd like to convince the dealer they should rejet at no cost to me....... so far, they haven't been real helpful or knowledgable on the topic.
Last time in, they changed the plug and fuel filter.... the fault remains and I was out 70 bucks! Didn't even send a limo to pick me up ! lol
I've sent an e-mail to Polaris to see what they can do......

 

It's a known problem Bendix and the dealer should have a shop bulliten on it. Push them they should change the jet at no charge......

 

try a K&N filter that will lean you out a bit

Just an update....... talked to the local dealer today, they were unaware of the problem! They checked with Polaris and the parts are on order. You would think Polaris would keep their dealers and technicians beter informed???
Again, thanks for the help guys, if it wasn't for this forum, I'd have to put up with the problem for another year!
