no .. I don't have a gauge that would fit the fuel line.. dealer says they checked it and it was fine .. (in the shop)

I'm getting a pair of new 2012 coils .. they seem to think that will fix the issue.. we'll see

guess I got a factory lemon!

Is it yellow?

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

well .. called BRP, and as expected it was a completely useless effort to get a second opinion.

Did you get a service rep on the line or just a customer problem rep?

 

[snopro]

The consumer asistance reps just start a file then call your dealer to see what the issue is.

I asked for a technician so I could share my videos with.. the customer service rep basically told me to go deal with my dealer

stopped by my dealer after that to see what was going on, saw my sled in the shop with a fuel pressure gauge on the stand .. apparently I'm getting a new fuel pump now

That actually made me feel better ...

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

well .. new fuel pump seems to have done the trick! no more RPM fade, runs much stronger and snappier. I'm willing to bet my pump had been running low psi for some time making the sled run lean.

also another shout out to roosterbuilt's clutching . I did some super steep climbs today and saw 90km/hr track speeds which is amazing.. I think the best I had before was 77km when it was new.

rpms stay rock solid at 7900 and pulls HARD !

I'm definitely a happy customer and recommend it to anyone who's looking to improve the XM for very little amount of money!

cheers

The reason for that much higher track speed is snow conditions.

I'm happy for you dude! Now put TheThing back on and see what happens. I also want to see the grim from lemon garlic shrimp hot out of the muffpot!

Lol wow! Never fails!

Wtf? I'm sorry no clutch kit is going to give you 13 km/h track speed increase. 1-3km at best. People put on big dollar turbos to see those kind of track speeds. But when the snow is spring like conditions and you can fly up any hill your going to see higher numbers than you would in the deep steep mid winter snow when your sled is chugging along.

Maxwell is correct!

 

[Bernoff]

That's good to hear. Hey was it just the pump because you had mentioned a set of coils were going on as well????

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

fair enough on snow conditions .. but that's not to discount RB's clutching ..

the kit does come with a 21t top gear, which would lead to a 10% increase in track speed.

I'll try to do side by side comparison with a stocker next time we go up. maybe i'll even make a video!

The coils were never the issue on my sled I don't think .. it was just the first thing they decided to change.
