My boyfriend had a 2020 sportsman 850. He went riding today but before he even got 10 feet, he heard a pop under the engine, saw smoke, lost power and then flames. Anyone have any ideas?
He’s had a power issue before with it losing power then during, and a dealer diagnosed a fuel pump so he replaced it then no problems for months till now. Thanks View attachment 174738

So I guess the people that are getting the recall letters about static electricity and fuel tanks bursting into fire should be taken somewhat seriously
