Good evening guys, I have a 2008 m1000 162 that is totally stock except for a Jaws cans.
I have two questions.
First, I am experiencing a deep snow bog, seems like when the snow is a couple feet deep the sled hiccups for a second, if I get off the throttle and back on she clears up. Is this due to the stock air box not flowing enough or the exhaust becoming blocked off for a second? I've done lots of reading and it seems to be a common problem. Runs great otherwise.
My sled has the stock non-updated 2008 ecu, I mostly ride around 1200ft elevation should I get it updated to the 2009 ecu? Does this solve that bog for anyone?
Secondly, I'm planning a trip in two weeks to Golden, British Columbia to do some mountain riding. Right now I have the stock clutching setup, yellow spring in the primary and 85 gram weights. I just had my primary rebuilt and new 85 gram weights put in it so I don't really want to change my weights.
Will I be able to ride at 5000-7500 feet with 85 gram weights or will the sled be a dog and not be able to rev high enough? I am not looking for a hill climb monster but I don't want to feel like I'm dragging a boat anchor also. I heard m1000 like heavy clutch weights since they are torquey.
I typically use the 060 belt so I was planning to run the 046 belt in the mountains to get that extra 200 rpms I might loose from running heavier 85 gram weights.
What do you think? Will I be okay with 85 gram weights? Or will my trip be ruined and my sled won't perform at all.
Thanks guys!
