Default 2008 Polaris 800 problem

My Polaris 800 has about 100 miles on it. When first started up in neutral want to stumble a lil bit. Let it warm up a minute no stumbling in neutral. After I let her warm up to operating temp and gas it from a dead stop want to spit back thru the intake a lil bit INTERMINTLY and not all the time. I can taks off slow till I get to around 2000-2500 and gas it no spitting what so ever. Took it too dealer and he replaced the plugs and adjusted the TPS. I am open for any and all suggestions on where to look now.????

did it throw a code at you? is that why they adjusted the t-sensor on the intake? is this the bike w/ the key way in it adjusting the timing? just wondering if would all of sudden have anything to do w/ the computer timing being off? didnt get any water in the tank? howed the plugs look when they replaced them?

My 08 800 behaved similarly and it was a loose negative cable at the battery. Make sure they are tight.

that is a good point where these new bikes need a 12.8 volt charge all the time to run correctly.

do you think the the t-bap sensor has got moved and check the connections real good. i was reading the manual about the efi and it says about 80% of problems are due to bad connections on any of the componets. worth a look.
