Where do you unplug the TSS if needed?
2019 only.
Next to the radiator cap. (Clutch side)
U have 3 plugs there.
The small black plug is for the kill switch.
The grey plug is for the TSS.
The large black plug.... i assume it is for the left bar controls?
U can pull them all out and unplug without removing the hood.

Beat me to it.
We unplugged a rental sled the other day.
It was unridable
is it the tps thats causing the sled to run like crap?
So after 4 pages of reading only 2 good reviews of updates? I have 2100miles issue free on my 18. thinking after these reviews I might not take it in for the update
Seriously though, how'd you bend your tunnel on a new sled? Use a jack?
I'm thinking that too. My Alpha has ran flawless for 350 miles. Never skipped a beat yesterday in 3' of fresh. Seems like some BS if AC won't come out and tell the truth.
Had mine re flashed as required at 575 miles (on 3/1/19). It SUCKS
boggy, idol's high, which it never did before, and in general runs like crap. This thing just ripped before. I talked to my dealer complaining and he said it takes a few rides. Why would a program take a few rides?

Unless it went back into breakin mode?
That is code for they don't have a clue.
dude honeslty i got stuck in a wheelie and went and pushed it over down the hill. when i got it back home in the shop the was bent down towards the clutch side on the machine.
dude... please tell me this isnt happeneing! they flashed mine while it is in for the melted side panels and what not rite now.... what a nitemare.
Is the 2018 different?
Yes, i think it's the same from 2012-2018. 19 has the new bar controls and new wire harness. Pretty sure u have to cut the wires on the 12-18, no separate plugs.
Never had a TSS problem from 2009-2018.

Ive ridden my sled in DEEP snow this year several times. Like 4-5’ plus. No bog ever. I noticed there’s a deflector on the exhaust like I had made for my 2014. The 14 was bad. When the nose was under the snow it didn’t run for crap so I know what you are talking about. Just never had it happen on the Alpha. On my 14 I had a custom snorkel, like off a turbo sled, made for it and that solved the bog problem for sure.
Yup dog crap. Back to back with my alpha today and MC. MC ran stronger without the reflash and didnt backfire. Alpha backfired and pow stuffed exhaust cut out power from ecm. Idle was better, came back down from 2600 to normal. I wonder if this reflash did a break in over oiling mode all over again. I ran thru way too much oil yesterday compared to normal. NOT getting this done to my MC until cat gives answers.
Did the silber ECU flash after I pulled their turbo off the flash runs really good other than 4 ft deep it does get a bit of a bog did pick up about 4 more grams went from 70.0 to 74.4 in the primary. Not quite a smooth on the bottom that likes to try to climb on the pipe so you get that pipe feel to it
I am more that content with my Sibler reflash. When the bulletin first came out, I was concerned until I researched the nature of Arctic Cats reason behind it. I never had any problems with shooting flames or aggressively high RPMs at idle at any time during the life of the sled. I am running an aftermarket can as well.
I'm going to leave it as is with the Sibler tune because it flat out rips!!
