First 2014 800 Update. :(

Devilmanak · Oct 29, 2013

I didn't see a thread on it, if there is one I will kill this one.
First update for the 800 sleds today. They FORGOT to add the breakin counter to the guages. Wow. All 800 models need to go back to get the update so their breakin counter works. (The 600 models last year had it, 800 didn't. 600 this year are fine, just need to get updated to get the 800 models to have it.)
And if you have a 13 800, get it to the dealer to get the ECU updated! Remap for the injectors to clean up the bottom end sponginess.

The dealer set mine up today and I pick it up tomorrow so I will be asking them to update if they haven't already.

Thanks for the heads up!

No problem, I asked if they could do mine in the crate, he said yes. Just needs to plug it in with a battery and do the deal. Not a biggie, except that a lot of us need to take sleds back to the dealer for it.
Oh, and I also asked, if you are already running your sled, it doesn't create a problem. All the update does is enable the guage readout through the ECM, the ECM will read the correct breakin percentage regardless of when you get the update done, like if the sled is half broken in, it will still read correctly.

so really not a big deal then,not worth the hassle to bring back to dealer..as long as the ecm knows when its done

I would think any update is a big deal, [motor updates]

That's true. Didn't think of that, lol. I just always wanted to know last year how far away I was, it would have been nice to have an on-board readout without having the dealer plug it in to the computer.

Just run it.

So there's definitely a remap for the '13 800 E-Tec's???

Yes, for sure. See if your dealer can do it, mine didn't have the program or something for a while, I think they do now.

Pretty much. It isn't like the old days where when the ecu cut loose it was a different animal, it is so gradual now that you cannot tell when it is done.

Yeah I could honestly care less, its not like I'm going to ride it any differently or by looking at the gauge going "OH BOY I'M ALMOST THERE!"...

Devilmanak · Oct 30, 2013

Well, less work for your dealer then, I personally would like all the bells and whistles I paid for when shelling out 12K for a sled. (Twice.) I will get some entertainment from looking at that part of the gauge, same as looking at the MPH. Doesn't mean much, but it is amusing.

nickPSD · Oct 30, 2013

I picked up my Summit X on Saturday and it displays the breakin percentage that left when I start it up. Must have already had the update done before I got it

Blk88GT · Oct 30, 2013

Thanks for the heads up.

Sasksummit · Oct 30, 2013

I thought the breakin percentage only showed up on the X packages?

Devilmanak · Oct 30, 2013

Hmm, I will check on that. The sheet I read said all 800 sleds.

Diamond8 · Oct 30, 2013

My buddy and I picked up our 14 X 163's two weeks ago and they both showed the percentage from the get go when we picked them up.......so either they were okay or they already got the update......

My dealer said they were all messed up. They are going to update mine when it gets in 800 SP. And I think they updated the ones on the showroom already.

Devilmanak · Oct 30, 2013

Wierd, maybe the update has been out for a while. Either that or they caught the problem partway through production.

ryanan · Oct 30, 2013

I was told at the MKE snow show that the only way you would be able to get a remap on your 13 was if ski doo released an update for it. Which wouldn't happen unless they had problems.

Just need to find the right service tech to talk too?
Is this actually available?
What sort of gains, changes is it doing for the 13's?

Thanks
Tony
