I don't ride my 18,

I flog the fucck out of it...

 

[trackvs2wheels]

Strange...

 

[Pow-Shredder]

Is it saying what the reprogramming will fix?

 

[madmax]

How is your ECU program going to make your sled unsafe to operate? Sounds like sleds need to be taken to dealer for the ecu to be reprogrammed, but no details on when they will have the program.

Maybe one finally caught on fire from the overfueling?

Just sent mine in for the precision re-flash Tuesday

 

[ltmfb]

Oh I'm riding, just curious on the timeframe for notification and fix. It's coming up on prime riding season!

Dealers have the ability to complete the update now. I just did two of them a few minutes ago.

Thanks,
Woody

I had my ECU flashed with the precision tune and it still melted panels.

Guess I will get this flash done to see if it is truly fixed

Had mine done with the Sibler reflash last week.

Going to wait for more info to develop on this before I bring it in.

you may want to check with whomever flashed your ecu, to see if this flash will overwrite the current flash... or you may be sending it back for re-re-flash, and a fee may be involved. your results may vary. Ski

Idle speed adjustment.
Does this fix the high idle hang time after climbing a hill?

[cycology1]

called AMS in Kremling, nothing about it from them...but the AC phone is busy and eventually they send you to VM.

 

[Matte Murder]

I rode mine yesterday and I died. Corporate CYA most likely.

I rode mine yesterday and I died.

Very sorry to hear this.



Can I have your sled? Wouldn't want any family members getting ahold of that thing obviously

 

[CO 2.0]

Heard a rumor to not reflash your sled. It's for emissions. And possibly from the low elevations sleds shooting flames. So less power on the reflash or what?
