08 XP Oil Injection

[Grizzly4323]

Seems that my kids XP is going through an excessive amount of injection oil. Well over 1/3 to 1/2 a tank everyday. 70-90 kms. Took it to BRP and they say it's set from factory so it must be right...THATS FUNNY... Is there something that can be done to adjust the injection or a spec. for the setting??
Not to crazy about blowing it up. Would rather run too much oil than not enough.

yeah. you need a miror to put down there. so you can look at the injection pump straight on. when your looking at it straight on there are 2 ticks that will line up when the throttle is not pressed.

 

[maxwell]

if they dont you can adjust the tension in the cable. there are 2 ticks. one is a maximum setting one is a minimum setting. but even on max it wont use that much oil you must be way out.

That seems to be normal,i have a 08xp and i use about the same amount,the reservior is quite small comparing to other sleds.

ours use barely any...its really impressive in comparison to the revs

My 09 xp summit riding a day in the mountains about 50 - 60 miles will use about half a tank of oil

I adjusted the cable for the oil pump( the adjuster is behind the muffler) a little at a time until I got about a 40:1 ratio. It took a few rides but it was worth it, I was also using quite a bit of oil. I could go to 50:1 but for me I think a little safety zone is good.

It's not the miles....it's the fuel usage you need to look at. I can go through 1/3 tank of oil in 40-50 miles....but that can be a full tank of fuel and the jerry can used up.....so my oil usage isn't really that bad.

ya the amount of oil injected is based on throttle position..sooo 150km trail ride = 40km mountain ride.
