Last year around this time I bought an 08 Sportsman 500 EFI X2. This is the first ATV I have ever owned or ridden. The machine has randomly shut off a few times. After the most recent snow fall we had here in Pa, I am ready to get rid of the machine.
I was all set to go plow with the quad, made it 6 feet out of the garage and it shut off and would not restart.
I spent 4 hours snow blowing my property and the property of my elderly next door neighbor.
I got the machine started later in the day and was able to get it back in the garage.
I did some snooping and I believe it to be a loose wire coming from the key switch.
Tired of working on it more than riding it! If I had known then what I know now from reading posts on this forum, I would have asked a few more questions before saying yes to it.
