850 Break in -Longer than we think

[MDEVO]

Just had the new Re-flash done on my 2020 850.

I Did a data review of RPM and noticed at 33hrs total run time, only 7hrs were at 5-6k rpm
So the sled is actually still in its break in period ?? (10hrs above 5500 rpm)

Can anyone confirm this would be the case?

Yes. That is correct. The final break in step is a noticeable (2-300 rpm) jump in performance.

A lot of sleds for sale at 3-500 miles are STILL in break in mode. This is also why the break in rpm threshold was reduced From 5500 to 3500 rpm.

Can you explain? Are you just referring to the BMP flash?

The new 2021 flash that was released

Polaris part #4019752 (2021 calibration for 2019-20 sleds)

TheBMP thread talks about what is in the Polaris flash.— in addition to their own tweaks.

Thanks for confirming.
Explains a lot of the fouling issues we have been experiencing, thinking they were out of break in...
Have to be a pretty good rider to maintain >5500 RPM in the tight trees with stock clutching on east coast.
This change should make a big difference for us.

You should be out of break in. You have to add up all the hours that are above the 5500 rpm mark. You add up all your hours above that mark you should be just out of break in.

Haha Duh.....?
Yes you are correct. Thanks for noticing ...

However just out of break in....after 33hrs.

Surprisingly longer than you would think...
Cheers

with the new flash, will the computer recalculate the time the sled has run above 3500 rpm instead of 5500, and pull it out of break-in based on that?

You can still get the 2021 reflash. Sled might run better. Mine does. Just saying because no two 850 seem to run alike.

Was Polaris suppose to send a notice to owner's of a 20 about the re-flash? As this is the first I've heard of it.

So my 22 khaos feels like I'm not getting all the hp I'm at 130 miles on it. So os the reduction in rpms or power real that I feel just wondering

There is a very noticeable jump in horsepower when you get over the initial break in richness state, I'm guessing mine took about 6 hours of actual ride time. The additional time to complete the break in cycle is simply over oiling, which I found does not affect the overall performance at all.
