I know this is long, but I really need help………..I just bought a 2008 M1000 which says it has 1100miles on it (but who really knows). It ran like crap when I got it, with a huge bog off the bottom (almost to the point of dying when you gas it from idle). I got the 09 ECU flash update done at the dealer, however before I could go ride it with the flash, I put a BDX intake, speedwerx tunnel dump can, and Power Commander V on it. I loaded a map that was supposed to work great for my setup, but it still ran like crap and had a huge bog off bottom. It was also idling really low around 1000rpm when cold, but when it was hot it would idle around 1500-1600. So I turned the idle up slightly with the set screw (and re-calibrated the TPS) so then it would idle 1500-1600 cold, but then it idles around 2000 hot… weird
I got a map from SLP (70-215) which is for set up for a full pipe kit and adds a TON of fuel (some cells add 84%). This map worked somewhat decent, got rid of a lot of the bog, but still doesn’t run great. Looking to try and make it better I contacted Eric at Racin’ Station in Idaho and he said he had a map that would work perfect for all my mods. Well, I loaded that map (no values over 10%) and I was back to square one. Eric asked how it ran w/ the stock map and I told him awful and he said well then there is something wrong with the sled. The bottom line is the sled runs better adding a lot of fuel in the bottom /mid RPM. Here is what I’ve checked:
-Fuel pressure – Currently at 46-47PSI (I was told this was high and stock is around 42)
-Power Valves – Cables adjusted properly, servo moves and appears to be functioning as normal. Power Valves are clean and move freely
-TPS low and high points were calibrated with the PCV
-Compression – I rented two gauges, one from Autozone and one from O-reilly. I can’t get anything over 35psi with either. I thought this was odd so I checked my M7 with only 400miles on it (and is also running like crap so I don’t know) and it had about the same pressure. Can a sled even run with compression that low because I think it’s got to be wrong? The sled seems to run fine on top (I don’t really know how hard it should pull though as I’m new to sledding.
-Pulled the reeds out and they fine
-The oiler is running at about a 40:1
-I’m running 85 octane fuel in it at 9000-11000’ elevation
Please give me Ideas or people to contact to help me get this sled rippin’ before any real snow falls in Colorado. Does this sound like I need a top end? When I start it, it’s not easy to pull so I know it has decent compression. Any ideas are welcome!
