Guys don't bother with him, if you try to make a pig sing, you will only waste time and annoy the pig. sled is at dealer so I don't have pics, looks just like the last 2 that where covered. That where called cold seize.
Did the thermostats stick? Well I was watching the coolant Temp and it was around 128* so unless it's on the wrong side of the thermostat it didn't. I'm not sure, wouldn't be my fault either way. It wasn't an overheat and that can be checked with a computer to prove it.
Did the oil not oil, well it consumed the normal amount, did the cap not vent, doubt it. I also doubt if it didn't the tank has enough squish in that many miles of slow riding to do it. Could have I guess, is that my fault, I always run apv, always full but not to full, my tank actually had better flow characteristics than stock anyway. No one else has issues.
There are a multitude of things that "could" have happened if a sensor went bad or freaked out, injector sticking etc... I kept riding it and it was fine, my 09 m1000 completely stock did it and I rode another 250 miles without any more damage, so why did it do it. I ride this one with no more issue, yet.
I'll tell you what, give me full control of the ecu and I'll never complain again. All you have to do is take out the lean spot for emissions and 90% of these problems would never happen!
Kdonut , why don't you just come figure out out for me since you seem to know, and I don't mean telling me out was to hot or lack of oil, I'm talking specifically tell me wft happened and I'll give you a grand. You can't because there are to many variables.
Now I've spent well over 3000 in belts and clutching since 12 and couldn't ride as much because of it. Cat said, we don't have those issues, yet they came out with a new clutch in 14, again more problems and complete denial, but now they just decide to use team. REALLY
But hey, they got the best motor and warranty, and that about all there the best at, o and track imo. Well fock, now they don't even have that. I'm a little pissy.
All that aside, it will not be good for the dealer!!! If it wasn't for him I would stair wash my hand s and check out. But cat just forced him to order 28 sleds because he sold 28, half non current models, they are new and just getting going. He sold them cheap and lost money on sales to do it and then cat turns around and punishes him for selling there sleds.
I go on rides with new buyers and show them some tricks and what can be done because I want him and them to succeed.
So if I'm the go to guy and I'm up there showing them what a pro will do how many of those cats are going to move? ?? Some, he will still make sales but not nearly as many and not as easy.
Bottom line, I want the number to help him. But kdog thinks I'm an azz for it. Your a real nice guy.
Maybe knuts work's for cat, paid to deny all claims, ha ha.
