2018 Polaris Sportsman 450 AWD Check Engine Light

Hi!  I just purchased a 2018 Polaris Sportsman 450 AWD. The instrument cluster reveals 306 miles, ENG 75.5 hrs, and Service Due 83.4.  Oil and coolant are clean and levels are good.  Air filter is also clean.  Everything shows the ATV is in excellent working order.  But... every time I start it, the check engine light lights up (no code is displayed).  I am worried the light may indicate something serious, but I can't figure out what.  Any ideas/suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

I had similar thing happen to my 2021 Sportsman 1000.  Started it after it had sat for 3 months and got the check engine light.  User's manual was worthless and said to take it to the dealership.  So I walked into the service center and asked what it could be.  I was told that it could be any of 100 different things but one of them was a low battery voltage.  Since the reason I started it was to charge up the battery I thought that was probably the reason.  Service manager said it should reset the check engine light after 3 or 4 times of using it.

      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.
