Slp pipe notce on m1000

stay tuned

SLP called me and said not to run the single pipe set up with the new Arctic Cat ECU upgrade. They would like me to wait on the upgrade until they do tests with the pipe and the new upgrade.

Sorry about the "i" missing in notice.

Well I wanted to check and make sure with was legit so I just called and talked to Dustin in tech support and he confirmed that they are recommending that you not run their pipe set with new reflash until they have done more testing. I specifically asked why the 09 are ok and the 08 isn't and he said that even though its suppose to be a reflash to 09 programming its not. Evendently AC has once again f*cked up. Is it really that hard to duplicate an ECU program. I think AC needs to find some new help in the ECU department because I am getting tired of this sh*t.
 
i run the 09 reflash on a my 08 with the SLP setup and i got it pretty dialed... mind you i'm running an AFR gauge so i can see where things are at BUT i sure wouldn't remove it... my numbers are WAY different than SLPs and have always been - i have a good bit more fuel added to my sled than they do though...
 
Quick I too have been running it and have the Koso AFM. I noticed that I had to add fuel on the top end but everything else seems close compared to the SLP 09 numbers. Its not the fact that SLP's numbers arn't right that makes me mad it that this reflash was suppose to be exactly the same as the 09 mapping and its not.
 
I have an 07 and I had my ECU reflashed without getting the update kit because they are on back order. My dealer said Cat called the very next day and said I should not run my sled until the rest of the kit is installed or I will have engine problems. Dealer told Cat I had an aftermarket can and they still said not to run it. It was my understanding the new flash is richer on the bottom and midrange and makes the can run hotter?

This is all pointless for me anyway because I have a D&D 1200 and a BD box but no snow to run it on.
 
Its a non feedback two stroke electronic fuel injection folks, modify from stock at your own risk. When cat ties an oxygen sensor into their EFI we can modify with impunity, until then we are are on our own, just like we were when we were carbed. These aren't 4 stroke diesels folks! Just be glad that you dont live in Alaska where our fuel is a completely different mixture than what all the aftermarket tests their products at. Get some gauges, check your plugs and piston wash, then wait for the 2 stroke sled market to catch up.

A det sensor on the 1000 would have been nice as well, they put it on the 8 but left us hanging on the more expensive sled that prob cost the same to build. I'd say if your sled runs the way you think it should don't reflash it. as for the 09 mapping the mid range is extremely lean, I had 1262 temps on my egt's 6100 rpm, the sled was stock at that point. I have checked my egts with the plugs and they seem to be spot on. I hit 1300 once and blew the motor. on top at WOT it read 1151 temp. I think AC should be telling us the changes they make on a reflash, richer, leaner, what range adjusted, ect.. they know we buy the m1000 for the power and I have yet to see a m1000 with no mods except when at the dealers. Not saying there all modded but I'll bet more are than aren't.
 
I have been looking at some stand alone ECUs. I may get one and build my own setup with Active feedback from 02 and Knock. The company I am talking to has offered me a DEAL on one unit and will assist with tech support in return they would want a report on the final build and tune.
Sounds like a good summer project along with Bikes, building a cabin, building a shop, yard work and a moose hunt this fall.

I will start a thread when I get started.
