Hanging Idle - 2024 G5

[hushpuff]

Finally got out for a proper break-in ride this past Saturday and noticed after riding aggressively the idle would hang around 3-4K unless I completely let off the throttle. Wasn't bad enough to push through the brake but not an engine characteristic I experienced with my G4 turbo and past G4 N/As. Only motor mod is a Diamond S can. Didn't happen riding on the trail or during short bursts of play.

Anyone have this experience on their G5? Did doo change something with Break-In that would possibly lead to this? I didn't think anything of it until I saw someone else post on an 850 owners group on FB.

which kinda begs the question.
Just how much throttle were you holding onto when it kept a 3-4K idle??

My g5 did that on the second ride last year and it turned out that the throttle bock had iced up. Went to Munster Finger Throttle after that. No more problems

“hey! when I pull the trigger on my throttle, my rpm’s go up!?”

Throttle input wasn’t the issue, hence why I noticed the motor was behaving differently than I expected it to given the throttle input I was giving it; not enough throttle to justify the RPM.

Snow/ice buildup is wasn’t the issue, not a pow day. Munster opens/closes freely, snaps closed upon release at least sitting in the shop. Double checked it acts the same with steering in either lock.

I'm on my third 850, I'd have to say don't worry about anything until the sled is off of break-in.

Lots of things can cause this changes to the cable that you have done and also a can. I must be the only one that rides a stock sled till break in is done to get a baseline and know the vehicle is correct before modifying.

the need for a can is as strong as the marketing for it and not to be underestimated.
