So I just put about 12 miles on my new 2015 switchback assault 800 and the check engine light is on.
It seems to run fine, haven't gotten past 7850 rpm yet but it's still in break in and it's on a fresh belt. I have about 3/4 tank left to go for break in.
There's a small amount of oil under where the pipe and y-pipe join but that's been there since I picked the machine up. There might be a tiny bit of oil still coming out if it but I'm guessing the joints still need to set.
Clutches are cool, belt deflection is good. My engine coolant in the bottle is way above the line though, just about at the cap. Should I drain it? Maybe there's an air pocket somewhere in the coolant line? Would that throw an engine code?
I can't tell if oil is coming out of my bottle though, should this hose be filled?bits hard to see in the picture but there's only a very small amount of oil in the hose.
I ran it for like I said 11 miles. Temp stayed at 127 the entire time so I guess that's good.
I idled it a few times up to temperature and then shut it off while I was waiting for snow. Would fouled plugs cause the check engine light to come on?
What do you guys think? This is my first polaris 800 so I'm not sure the routine. I'll probably bring it in to the dealer tomorrow for the week and see what they say.
EDIT: I just figured out that you can get error codes by pressing the set button. I get error code 173 - 3: Exhaust Temperature sensor voltage too high.
