Ok so I drowned out my 2016 Foreman 500 about two weeks ago and I made sure to flush all the oils and even emptied the gas tank and there was sand in the gas tank. My bike is back to life and not smoking or anything like that but the problem is it’s idleing way to high. Yesterday I backed into some water and when I tried to shift it into neutral I couldn’t cause the tires were still trying to spin cause of the high idle. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated

You are very likely to have downstream issues with the unit, because silt/sand highly likely to be throughout the engine and typically shows its head another 200-300 miles from now. As for idle, I suspect you have a sticking air valve and suggest you remove the throttle body and clean if very well....
