My 2013 Pro hates warm days ?

I have a 2013 800 pro I have ran for the past two seasons.

The sled does not like warmer weather. I get a horrible bog, mainly on shut down and restart but also after slow working through the trees.

Last year I was climbing up through the trees and flat ran out of talent. Shut the machine off to get the sled moved around. (5-7 Minutes) Started the sled and started to get going and needed more throttle. As I throttled in it bogged and got me stuck again. Had the get the machine to the flats and clear its throat.


The sled is not overheating and going into limp mode (Experienced that once)

This only happens on warm sunny days over 30 ish degrees. Early winter I never have this problem.

I thought I read somewhere issues with Intake Temp Sensors heat soaking and not reading properly.

Local dealers have had it twice, like usual are a waste of time, out local dealers suck.

Any ideas, Its bone stock

Thanks
 
I have the same bog with a 2012 standard rmk 600. Only on warm day. When going on and off throtle but not on the wot to 1/4 and wot again. Boggingfor about 1-2 second and it clear itself. At first I tought it was some kind of slight detonation...has soon has it get colder it ran fine again on the same fuel tank and spot to ride.

Dealer say it is water/bad gas. Tried like everything from fresh one to 94 octane has I am sur it dont contain ethanol. Tried new/diferents spark plugs... I dont find anybody with the same problem all over the internet and I ran out of idea.

I ride at 1000-1500 ft. 120 psi both side and the pistons/cylindre looks fine when looking throught the exhaust.

Next thing to check is the fuel filter...since I never change it in 3300 km...but it looks like pain in the butt to do.

Looking forward to this post...hopping to find someone who cleared this strabge bog.
 
Make sure the air intake vents are not getting covered with snow or ice. This often happens on warmer days when the snow starts to stick more to the vents. As soon as it gets blocked off it cant get the air it needs but the fuel system is still dumping in fuel as you pin the throttle and the situation only gets worse.

There are other heat soak issues that can happen but its a good idea to also make sure your vents are free and clear on deep powder days or warmer days. Eric
