Default 2013 polaris 500 ho problems

Hey was just wondering if any one has had the same issues as me my low gear doesn't show up on the pod and the shifter is very hard to move. Was looking at my oil the last to changes and noticed a gas smell and the oil was very runny wording if maybe anyone has any suggestions. Thanks

Wouldn't take the runny oil/gas smell lightly.. I'd check into the carb as anythings possible even on a fairly new one like yours.Could be float sticking,float needs adjustment or premature wear on needle and seat.As far as low gear not showing up on the speedo,could be a faulty gear position switch on the transmission or a bad connector leading into it. Hard shifting could be from too high of an idle or even a clutch and belt problem if it shifts okay once the engine is off.If you don't have a service manual I'd get one if you plan on doing your own work.
