Sportsman 800 issues?

Anyone plowing with a Polaris Sportsman 800?
Im not really interested in plowing with it anyway, just a general purchase for trail riding and what not.
Figure if anyone is going to know about any issues and weakest links with these it would be someone plowing with it.

It is used, 800EFI with less than 1000miles

thanks in advanced

Go with the one with out the clutch kit. The fuel pump gets hot need to made shure the foil is in place. Around the tank. Drive it backwards slow and list if there is a clicking coming from the back axle. Look at the air filter. And the wireing up front under the tank. All so look at the tires on inside to see if the cv joint has been replaced

The rim will be chewed up if the cv joint broke. Take the vin# and have a dealer run it. If its been recalled. Temp sense go's out on them ad well. Check the code s by turning The key 3times on and off and on the fourth time leave it on only turn it to accessories

the heat foil is around the tank itself?
Codes will only be a sequence of flashes, is there a link to the different sequences of flashes?
CV's prone to go on these? Axle's are probably similar to that of the other IRS models i guess.

thanks for the info
