Hey guys just a few things to look at/ inspect,
1. the handle bar wires. I was riding last night on the new Pro Ride RMK 800 and when i would turn half way to the left and right it didn't matter which way it would cause the head light to go out. the wires rubbed against the aluminum tubing that runs to the handlebars from the front of the bulkhead right above the a arms and was rubbed to bare wires, fixed the wires and problem went away. Check the wires takes minutes. i forgot to take pictures of this sorry guys.
2. as many posts state the oil line that goes from the tank to the pump (located on the back side of the motor below the throttle bodies) rests against the bulkhead and rubs on it causing a hole. see pictures below. ran a zip tie around it and pulled it away from it fixing the problem.
3. Check your oil line right off the oil tank. I noticed a bubble about an inch long when inspecting the sled while the hood and side panels were off during the wires (#1) and noticed it called my local dealer and was told that Polaris said if the bubble is a half inch or less not to worry about it but me and the service manager were in agreement that all air bubbles in the oil lines were bad he said that he has worked on a couple that burned down because of this, also he said that the bubble doesn't usually like to go back through the brass fitting on the tank. So I took the tank off all you need is a 10mm wrench and socket with extension 2 bolts, then pulled the rubber strap off the back and tank comes right off. then I pulled the line and filled the line with oil put it back on and problem solved. See Pictures below.
Just some things to look for. Happy riding.
