So after a bad experience with my 800r drop in kit I found a good deal on a new shortblock I'm planning on installing. Now I had the ECM reflashed by Kelsey to his specs and am not sure what my options are with this re-flashed ecm..Is it safe/good idea to leave it and run it? Can it be programed back to factory? Any ideas? Gonna call Kelsey and doo when I have time and research some options here, but in the meantime any thoughts or opinions would appreciated!

I put one back to stock with the RKT ecm program and worked fine. Another fellow that had the drop in kit and head and then went back to stock with the RKT ecm reprogram and no problems.
But best to talk to the man and see what he says.

I believe they ajust the timing in mid range to help with the higher temps and also the rev limiter as you stated.

Thanks for the input. Talked to a few doo dealers and re flashing to factory is not possible i was told. Still waiting to hear back from rktek. Not 100% sold on running this ecm program on a factory motor just yet considering what i have invested but just my opinon. If anybody has a 09 summit ecm (stock! lol) for sale i will consider. Heres my kijiji add
Wanted: Wtb- 09 summit ECM (engine control module) - Edmonton Snowmobiles Parts, Trailers, Accessories For Sale - Kijiji Edmonton Canada.
thanks again!
