850 Patriot Owners- Poll Failure or Not

Go with hotter spark plugs. I know it is not the fix for it running too rich but it helped mine before the re-flash. I used BPR6EIX Iridiums.

I read that in an earlier post as well. Gave it a try last March, no luck.

You must have a sensor that is reporting incorrectly as they all have the same flash now. I rode with a guy with the original mapping and his was crisp so there still can be differences in how they run. I believe very heavy clutching could hold them back too and cause them to load up the plugs. You're not stuck in ethanol mode by some chance?

Can you post a quick vid of the low end bog?

Ill look through my go pro videos to see if there are any that show the bog well enough. I havent put it up on a stand yet to see if it bogs without a load.

Also something Im not sure Ive discussed yet is that while rolling down a trail 30-40mph then going WOT theres no sign of a bog. Its only at slow speeds/low rpm or from a complete stand still to WOT that it falls on its face. Basically when I need throttle and engine responce the most, in technical areas or deep snow, I can count on not having it. I hope you can follow what Im trying to explain.

I would have your dealer verify that it took the remapping, and if it did push for a new motor! It’s under warranty, and don’t take no for an answer.

Sounds like you have a good relationship with your dealer; I would be on them weekly still for updates. Do they have demo sleds? I'd be asking for a demo sled to ride till they figure it out.

High.... Voltage rock and roll! in my best ac/dc voice - ha- had a good suggestion.
