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.

What improvement are you guys seeing from the skis? If its just trails, I could care less, but if it helps w/ sidehilling or other powder manuevers, I'd be all over it.

is that all you need to get done? What's something like that run? I wouldn't be doing it myself. 4k miles = it's time?

Well, I'm now up to 76% more fuel at 3800 rmps 10% throttle and 50-70% more fuel all around that area at other rpms/5-20% throttle and it's still sputtering down low. I can't figure out what the hell is going on. And I think it's too rich now, cuz now it's hesitating a bit when you hammer...

Just realized I've got 4000 miles on my m1000. Still runs great, but is that getting into ticking time bomb territory? If not, when would you rebuild, or would you just ride it til it grenades?

I was just thinking about adding some holes after I experienced some bogging in deep, heavy powder this past weekend - pretty sure it's not getting enough air when the snow builds up under those stupidly placed low intake vents.
