The temp sensors on those sleds have a pretty good failure rate, making the sled run in "limp mode". I'd start by bypassing or replacing.
With the sled running wiggle the wires from the sensor as far back as you can and see if the sled starts running better.On my 03 I had a wire broken inside the insulation just past the plug where a zip-tie was holding it.
It could be the hi-lo beam switch wiring behind the left break handle. No lie. That will cost you about a $140 new for part no. 2010305. Just think of it as helping put some Polaris employees kid through college, and buy him a porsche to get to class. But you can disconnect the wiring with a star screw driver, and see if that clears it up. If it clears up then that was the problem.
CDI boxes can go out. They tend to cause the engine to become erratic.
I think that I have one that will fit. Part no. 4010552 for $50. Low mileage and tested.
