rzr 4 sputters,backfires,stalls out

my new rzr4 runs perfect for about the first 10 minutes.Then a noise similar to knocking valves starts followed by massive power loss & lots of sputtering and popping.Turning it off and restarting it fixes it...for about 10 minutes,then the same all over again!The dealer I bought it from has had it for 8 days now and can't figure it out.They say the computer isn't registering a code so they don't know whats wrong.Any ideas out there?

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. There's nothing worse than buying a toy and it being in the shop

Re: rzr 4 sputters,backfires,stalls out

my guess would be the oil pressure reg. it's letting the lifters colapse/or pump up or something along those lines..

Re: rzr 4 sputters,backfires,stalls out
