Kens Colors Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks Woody!! I will check that out I am pretty sure mine is in that list. I had mine in 3 times for ECM issues when I first bought it and still to this day my check engine light comes on for no good reason (yea sportsman have check engine lights). Every time I took it in to get fixed, the light would come back on as soon as I started riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
