My friends wife has a new 500 HO and he was telling me that he was droping it off to have a recall repair done. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure he said it was something electrical, maybe an ignition box or something? I would call the dealer and ask what the recall notice is for.

Thanks for all the reply's guys, it turned out that it was not setup right from the factory, or got bumped around too much on the truck. Everything seems fine now, he got the RED spring put in, supposed to help with Bottom and Mid range and helps the belt. We'll have to see.

Good to know for future reference.

We cant even ride in the right of way here in Michigan I was fined $100.00 for crossing the street(a secondary road, not even paved) under power, here we have to shut down and push our ATV's across the street, and we have to leave our helmets on while we push. Count your blessings. We have to drive 6 hours to find a decent place to ride unless you or a friend own 100 or more acres. :x

I don't agree (it's stupid), however can "almost" understand having to shut off your quads and push them across the street......

But to have to leave your helmets on...... That's FU and dangerous. That limits your visibility.The quads engine is off, your off the quad...... WTF.
