I have an 2006 APEX Mtn-new to me and like a kid in a candy store I turned it off before it was ready for it and fouled the plugs. I tried for hours to get it started again and finally took it to a dealer. They replaced the plugs and then they started getting codes and fouled plugs. At this time they have replaced a computer unit, replaced the throttle assembly on the bars-kill switch was broken, thinking it was giving codes, took the 2" riser off because it was pulling on cable and setting off TORS, and few other things. They have it running with no codes but it will not idle.
I have only had it since Tuesday and I've already got a $600 repair bill. Momma ain't happy.
Any ideas as to why it won't idle or what to look at?

Apparently you bought this one used from someone.
First, it is not clear to me what you mean by shutting it off before it was ready. What do you mean? If it is on and you shut it off, it should be o.k., anytime.
Is this a Carbed or Fuelie sled? If it is Carbed, the carbs may need cleaning. Could the choke cable be be messed up too? This would give you the rich condition. Are you idling and choking w/o eventually running it down the trail? The choke is only needed for the first 10 seconds after startup. Longer and you can fowl plugs.
Have you tried to adjust the idle? It should be set at 1500-1800 RPMs.
If it is a fuelie, is it possible a sensor is not connected or not working. This would put the thing in limp (rich) mode. But, ... I suspect you would get a code.
Did it ever run properly since you had it? Who knows what was put in for fuel before you had it. Did you add any fuel from a metal can? Is the fuel fresh?
Given the nature of your questions, I would take it back to the dealer who did the work. It seems to me that they would have had it working correctly when they returned it to you.

They had it until today. Owner gave it back to me and said run it like you stole it and see if cleaning it out will help and don't let it idle. Suggested putting in injector cleaner.
Suggestions?
