2006 RTV 900 starts hard when less that 1/2 tank of fuel

Lift pump. I have seen this problem many times. Good Luck Lance

Put on a $10 electric fuel pump from amazon and it runs like it hasn't in a long time. Also while I was at it I turned up the fuel on the injection pump 2 turns so now isn't quite so doggy and will roll a little black if I want it to. Thanks everyone again. Next project is to adjust the hydrostat so If you get stuck on a hill you can still get it out of gear. Doesn't seem to be getting completely to neutral at idle.

The injector pump doesn't suck fuel, the lift pump feeds the injector pump.

Absolutely correct.

Glad you figured it out.

The HST issue is a tough one. There are some adjustments that can be made to make it easier to get out of gear. The most effective is patience. Hold the brake pedal down, wait 2 seconds, then try to get it out of gear.

Do you have a Shop Manual?

Ya that seems to work sometimes but there are other times on a steep grade where I have had to shut the engine down to get it out of gear. I don't have a physical shop manual but do have some PDF pages on it. Nothing about adjusting the shift cables that I have found yet.
