I have some play in my steering and cannot figure out how to remove that play. If you were to move the handlebars as if you are steering the machine I have about 1 to 2 inches of play before the wheels start to turn. Is this normal, and is there a fix for this?

Tighten the steering stem nut on the bottom of the steering stem. I would suggest you lock-tight it also! Your not the first nor the last one to have this problem, easy fix!

I had the same prob on my raptor I figurd out that the stearing stem nut was loose.
just pull the clip out off the bottom and take nut off put some lock tight on the threads and then tighten with a impact rench.
