for what its worth, I took my sled in to the reflash done yesterday, will ride it this weekend. They said they had 4 customers not including me come in and get the reflash done. 2 of which have already rode the sled after, and both said it fixed the problem. I hope its true.

Take it back to your dealer, have them perform a test in your pressure regulator. I had the flash done yesterday, but while there they also checked the regulator, found it was leaking off pressure big time. Got it replaced.

Turns out I had a double whammy, bad programming and a bad regulator....
Should be good now I hope

Made out today as well. But still a issue with starting. Starts great in the first 1-2 min after a shut down, where as before was a problem.

The issue is and was after 10-15 min of being off. Pull the rope 3-6 times before it will start.

BRP/Skidoo needs to go back to the drawing board for another flash I think.

Blk88GT · Dec 20, 2015

Does anyone know what the flash actually changes in the tune? I'm intrigued.

Dropping my sled back off today...see what happens

tkuss · Dec 21, 2015

Got the reflash done to my sled, rode saturday and a bit sunday. Started first pull ever time. Worked for me!

How about a 10-15 min cool down time? Such as stopping for a snack or to help a buddy get unstuck. As that is where mine is still showing issues.

tkuss · Dec 21, 2015

so far so good. Literally started first pull every time since getting the reflash done...

Riding again tommorow, so will see if its still as good as it has been.

garciava · Dec 21, 2015

rode again today above 10000'. no issues no mater if I let it sit a bit or stopped after a hard pull in the deep snow and restarted right a way. both sleds started first pull. very few times did it take a second pull to start

Thistledoo · Dec 22, 2015

Well there saying my sled is getting a new fuel pump as one of the check valves is leaking down causing the hard starts....will see as over the holidays plan on riding lots.

Let us know please as I may still have issues in that area as well. They did replace a regulator but....
