Recently went pt look at a razor for sale. The seller had just washed it,and it started and ran ok,till I took it for a test drive. It quit after about 1/2 mile. Towed it back, can’t get it to restart. Well a friend of mine has the same machine and he said when he washes his it runs crappy till it’s dried out. Then it’s fine no matter if he is out muddying and getting it wet any old time.  Wondering if anyone else has this issue with them?

I have a 2013 Polaris Ranger 900, which I’ve owed since I bought it off the show room floor.   
 

I’ve never had an issue with it stalling after washing it or riding it through water.  However, I would say I’ve never had it in deeper water than about 16-18” deep.  I have not fully submerged mine and never plan too.  Also it’s been garaged kept it’s entire life other than when I am out abusing it.  
 

I also have an aftermarket clutch, programmer, Elka 5.0 fully adjustable shocks, and drive it like I stole it.   I take care of it, but I really do drive it hard.  My main UTV buddies both have turbo RzR’s 1000.   I want mine for play and to use around the property and for hunting.  
 

I would be careful on the one with a stalling issue.   None of ours stall out after getting wet.  
 

just my 2 cents …

Seems strange that between both machines they do the same thing. I got a call from the seller saying he replaced the battery, sparkplug and fuel yesterday. He is going to run it over the weekend and I'll see how it goes for him. I'm a mechanic so I'm sure I can figure it out if there is issues, but if it continues, I'll not purchase it.  Heck it took me a month to figure out my 99 jeep for electrical issues. Turned out a bad wire from the crank sesnsor.

Obviously, if there is a loose or bad wire/connection somewhere, it can be repaired.    But, chasing those electrical gremlins can be a royal pain.  It does make it easier when you have mechanical skills and know where to look.  If you decide to dive in, make sure to get a good deal!   Best of luck.

Talked with a couple people that have worked on these. Both said they had to replace the ignition switch when this happens. They also said they are ok even when out mudding , but when washing them down the switch gets wet, expecicaly with a pressure washer. I’m picking up the machine tonight, we’ll see how it goes. 
I’m a mechanic and boat master electrician so it shouldn’t be a real tough thing to diagnose of it does it again. Thanks for the replies!

Edit: I did go and test drive it again and it was fine after he replaced the battery. I’m still leaning toward the switch at this point.

      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me

      We recently purchased the Axis x550. Fueled it with 93 fuel and drove one time around the farm and the 02 fault error appeared. Any ideas?

      I have a 2012 Bennche Bighorn 700X.  I bought it used.  It had been sitting in a field for several years untouched.  I put a new sun gear in the shifter, new shifter linkage due to the old one having been patched, and a new battery (and of course fresh fuel).  The machine cranked and ran beautifully.  I had it over a year and then the machine quit running.  As it would not stay cranked, I narrowed the problem down to a bad IAC valve.  I replaced it and it ran as good as new/old.  Fast forward, the machine started to act like reverse wasn't catching and would not always back up when in gear.  Then forward quit.  I assumed a bad CVT belt and got one.  Started removing the bolts from the cover and (3) just turn in the housing without coming loose.  (2) are on the bottom, so very little room to do anything with them.  I tried cranking the machine again to see the belt move since I can move the cover enough to see the belt and now the machine will not crank.  It turns over fine.  It gets gas to the injector and has spark.  I can spray cleaner down her throat and she would run until it ran out.  I have replaced the IAC twice and put a new injector with no change.  I went out and put the old injector back in to see if that made any difference and, well, it did.  I tried to crank the machine and the starter is stuck trying to turn the machine over even with the key off.  I have to disconnect the battery to stop it.  Before I shoot this thing, what am I missing?  Is this an ECM problem or something else I am not seeing?  Been dealing with these Gremlins for over a month now and weeds are starting to overtake the motor due to it not moving.  I would love to get the thing running first and any ideas of getting those CVT cover bolts out would be extremely helpful.  Thanks in advance.

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks
