2021 Polaris 850 low idle

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the idle on one of these 850s I am tired of having to give the flipper a little gas to start the sled hot on the hill. It is only idling at about 1300 at hi elevation and 1600 at sea level
 
I would recommend doing a compression check first. Had the same problem, including engine dying when trying to put it in reverse, on an ‘18 Axys 800 SBA only to find out my PTO side cylinder was extremely low. As far as an actual procedure I’m aware of one that requires a multimeter and an external power supply to adjust the potentiometer, but that was for the 800. I’ll share for reference once I find it.

With or without a belt installed? If it is idling at 1600-1800 without a belt installed it means your belt is too tight
 
Yeah I am sick of having to give it a little throttle when hot starting on the hill too it needs a higher idle it is worse at 11,000 ft too
 
update, took mine to the dealer to check tps, now it idles at 2300 and wont move across the parking lot without cutting in and out like the tss is killing it......... 0.0
 
I’ve had low idle issue for quite a while. Most of the time would have difficulty starting sled. It would take four pulls many times, sled finally threw a code for low fuel pressure maximum. Currently getting repairs done, I would check fuel pressure
