Ok so I bought the 05 brute force and after putting about 60miles on it I have some concerns.
The engine seems to run REALLY HOT, like almost burnning my legs through my jeans hot but no warning light comes on and it doesnt seem to "act" hot is this normal, does it have any saftey feature to prevent over heating or heat damage?
It also seems to have a slight miss, or hesitation? When you slightly crack the throttle open and hold it at a steady RPM to give it a slightly higher idle it will run smooth for a couple seconds then miss and sometimes backfires. It also seems to sometimes have a hesitation if you jump on the throttle, what could cause this?
Also a couple times when shifting from reverse to high it sounded like it got hung up in between and there was a slight squeal as if maybe the belt was slipping and there was also a slight burning plastic of rubber smell. The belt IS new and it doesnt feel as if it is slipping when accelerating and the belt light hasnt come on.
Anyone have any suggestions?
It does seem to run really well and HARD accept for the slight hesitation or cough and the occasional backfire, I ran it up to 69MPH with both me and a buddy of mine on it, combined weight of almost 500lbs

I just purchased a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 700 EFI. While riding today I noticed the throttle lever
was getting hot, not just warm but too hot to touch. I’ve never encountered a problem like this before.
I have a service annual ordered but it won’t be here for a few days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So here's one I've never seen, the Nikasil is flaking at the top of the stroke on the top ring on both cylinders. Both cylinders are clean, nearly zero vertical scratching, just flaking at the top. The flakes are just enough that compression is bypassing the top ring and going into the crank case. It actually shot the dipstick out. Weird. BTW, if this were a 90's Honda, this wouldn't happen. A quick hone and new rings and a Honda will live forever. Stupid pull-harris.

Hi, I have an apollo blazer 125 cc with a issue that stator that gets extremly hot. I replaced the original, then the new one got so hot one wire in the stator melted the solder joint. bought one more and this one also gets hot. I tested the stator wires and I have continuity to ground. I think the heat ruined it? or was that my issue. what can I check to figure out why my stators are going bad. I did check for continuity between wires to the cdi and reg and they seem fine. although all the wires seem thin (cheap chinese atvs) i din't find a smoking gun with wire showing high impedence. any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

I have a 2013 Honda 500 foreman with power steering.
It seems to be running hot. the high heat is radiating through the side panels down by my Knees on both sides. This is new.
I am getting NO high heat warning light.
The fan is coming on and off as it always has. For short periods as it always has.
The unit is very clean, has never been in deep mud, no rad damage or debris.
The reservoir is as it should be
The rad looking from the rad cap is full
The coolant has been tested and is good.
Should I check if the coolant is being circulated properly HOW DO I DO This.
Should I check to see if the high heat warning sensor is working as it should HOW DO I DO THIS, WHERE IS IT LOCATED
Is there a thermostat that I should check?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
