I have recently bought an 04 sportsman 700 an embarked an an all weekend ride this past weekend everything began fine untill i noticed that my exaust was cherry red i thought ok i didnt think that this was that big of a deal and didnt think nothing of it. later that night it started to over heat so i stopped and let it cool i added some water because it boiled some antifreeze out and thats all i had available and again i thought this wasnt that big of a deal i had been riding all day pretty hard so i shrugged it off. the next day i noticed i had an exaust leak down by the manifold where the dognut gasket is then i started noticing that it wasnt quite running right at slow speed when i wasnt on the gas that much but seemed to go fine when i was about half throtle or more. It also would backfire once in a wile when doing some high speed road traveling when i let off the gas to slow down. any ideas at all is it all related to my leak wich has gotten alot worse and the worse that sounds the more it did all of these things can you guys help me??
