Hey guys, thanks for all the ideas - will start working my way through them and hopefully find something that's off or loose or worn through - I've heard tracking down electrical issues can be a freaking nightmare, and that seems to me what it might be. Going riding this weekend so we'll see...

This has happened to me 2 times now. Sled running fine, going down a trail, sled's been running for 15 minutes or so, so plenty warmed up, maybe 6000 rpms at 40mph and it dies like I turned it off. Not flashing any codes. Try to restart and nothing. Check and replace plugs. Nothing...

I'll check on those - but also, was hoping for some idea about clutch springs - haven't changed in 2 years, wondering how often you should change them.

I've got 4,000 miles on my 09 m1000. Just had the top end rebuilt as a precautionary thing. Wondering what other maintenance I need to do to be ready for the season? I heard clutch springs should be replaced every year - true? Anything else I should get after? Thanks for any help.

if the only place your intake is getting air is from bottom of sled nose, you could simply be packing that w/ snow and cutting off air on the downhill - not sure if this is typical, but that's how my used 09 m1 came - w/ an aftermarket intake that only pulled air from holes under the nose. I...

That's a much more aggressive cut than I did and more aggressive than most I've seen - typically you just take about an inch off the outer edge following the outside edge line to the back - with as easy as it is on mine to sidehill - I would recommend you start with a modest cut and go more...

Even better would be an iphone/smartphone app for on the fly adjustments.

I just did this to my 09 M1000 stock skis. Definitely makes it lay over and stay over easier in all conditions. In many sidehills I now only need to lean into it vs jumping into wrong foot forward. It makes it very sketchy on the trails though - wants to flop over - doesn't bother me much...

I was having some bogging on my 09 m1000 and after lots of tuning w/ PCV and Auto Tuner, decided it was probably an air intake issue - my BDX intake only took air from the front bottom of the sled, which was proned to getting blocked w/ snow in deep conditions. So I cut a couple of small holes...

also go into the configuration setting and ensure the switch is activated.

that is a pretty amazing deal...what dealer did you say it was? ;)

a 2011 m8 w/ a turbo has similar handling characteristics to a 12 pro? I'm not sure I buy that. The m8 will be at least 100lbs heavier w/ it's existing extra weight plus the turbo, and the m chasis doesn't handle nearly as well as a pro rmk to start with. But, that said, is the difference...

pro rmk + m1000 engine = best sled ever?

Day 1 on St. Helens was 18" of fresh powder on an 8-foot base. Was instantly hooked on the Pro. Most comfortable and "right feeling" sled I've ever jumped on. Was throwing it around like a toy, trying jumps and riding in a way I normally wouldn't have the confidence to try. Power felt better...

I've ridden w/ my rkt head on my m1000 about 6 times now - I'm still amazed at how badass the top end feels.
