  Donald YoungAug 25, 2025
  If your engine continually backfires, start by changing the spark plug(s), as faulty plugs could be the cause. Additionally, dirt or ice in the fuel system might be the problem; adding deicer to non-ethanol fuel can prevent fuel line icing. Incorrect throttle free-play or a faulty switch might also be responsible, and it is suggested to seek assistance from your dealer.

  If the engine doesn’t turn, it could be seized due to poor lubrication, inadequate fuel supply, broken parts, or improper cooling. It is suggested to seek assistance from your dealer. Another possibility is hydrostatic lock, where fuel has entered the crankcase while the vehicle was standing or being transported. It is suggested to seek assistance from your dealer to correct the cause. Drain plug(s) are located on the lower crankcase for emergency draining.

  A front end push can be due to worn skags or binding front suspension shafts and steering components. Grease all pivot points after elevating the front of the machine. Verify the sag dimension, adjusting torsion spring blocks or installing optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag dimensions. Increase IFS preload (premium only) and move the limiter strap on the front torque arm to the high position.
