I was hitting the det sensor all the time, yet only heard det once all season... Pretty sure it's over sensitive.

If this flash fixes that, I can run more boost... good thing far as I'm concerned, but I want to hear someone else do it first!!!


btw, I've been told numerous times that not doing the flash is considered improper maintenance, and WILL void warranty. Wonder why the two different stories.

Anyone been out yet with the new flash? I've been out twice with the original flash and it is running good, hate to mess with a good running sled.

I called the number on the letter and was told that it was for emmisions and wasn't required for sleds in canada, so I won't be getting it flashed.

--Does not change the map.

-- will void warranty if not done

--caused by ethanol

--new software will add more and more fuel in 3 stages, if still lean from ethanol, it will then finally go into limp mode to protect the engine.

--Use non oxygenated fuel!!!!!!!!

I was hoping someone with a fairly stock sled who rides in the West would have done it and reported results by now, so I guess I will be the guina pig. Just had it done today, with a year and a month left on warranty I do not want to give Cat any excuse to deny a warranty claim if needed. I will report on performance as soon as we get enough new snow to ride again. It ran good the two times I had it out this season before the flash. We shall see.

I've been out once since the re-flash, thin snow, mostly road riding, seems to run the same.
