Recently picked up  a 2005 sportsman  800 efi. The issue it had when I bought it was really low idle and rpms wouldn't go over 4k. Top speed was only 30 mph and basically had no torque. 

What I found when I tore into it was.  Throttle  position  sensor wires were broken. So I replaced the tps sensor and calibrated it, also I spliced in the upgraded obt  harness for the tbap sensor and also replaced tbat sensor.  It now idles almost perfect,  still surges once in awhile.  

I also changed all fluids, replaced belt, clutch buttons seem to be good and also the clutch rollers. But I still have the same issue it has no power/torque. Rpms are currently hitting over 6k but it won't go over 30mph, acts as if that's the most it has lol

Any help is appreciated

It sounds to me like it's not moving into a higher gear ration, shifting issue. I'm not too familiar with the sportsman but if there is a high rev and low speed, looks like its in a lower gear. I'm assuming it's electronic shift and you have it in "H".  Maybe there is a shift sensor?

      After i did my rebuild it seems to not want to shift well. I think the cable is alright, and when it does shift its nice and solid. I have to basically use my hand to shift and i have to pull or push it very far, like max travel, to get it to shift. I also tried adjusting the clutch set screw. Any ideas where to go next, or maybe i should just grab a new cable to try.

      How to replace throttle assembly spring?
    • By Dsluder
      I am having an issue with a hs500. I bought it broken and have been trying to get it running. It seems to be starving for fuel. If I put my hand over the intake it will crank but will not run for very long because I'm not able to get the correct airflow with my hand. The things I have done so far are. Replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, mass airflow sensor, idle air adjuster, fuel injector, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the ecu, and still the same issue. I notice the injector does not spray when removed from the head. I dont know if that is common. 
       
      I am out of ideas on what to do next. I have removed the fuel line from the injector and it is getting plenty of fuel. If anyone has an idea on what could possibly be the issue I would be happy to try anything at this point.
