My dealer's techs went to the Yamaha school last week and received their combo diagnosis tool and download tool at the class. Expect to see the required material to perform reflash in the next 2 weeks.
No matter which company engineers that ECU/ECM,the parameters are set to that specific manufacturers specifications for that engine maker which is Yamaha.there was no issue that I know of with their Suzuki engine ECMs in there Cats.Somebody knows something about this problem,there just taking their time to address and correct the issue.Spending more time trying to get their share of the market on these mountain sleds,which are becoming hot.
I totally agree with you I believe it is temperature related,i would hope they diagnose the problem and release what the issue really is instead of just sugar coating it.
In my own opinion, Yama/Cat are more concerned with marketing more sleds while the iron is hot since both companies will score well with this deal so there pushing out as much as they could setting the issues the sleds are having aside and spending little time on their quality control and testing aside I see it.{typical corporate America}relieving the issues as they come very slowly as they feel to do so.Its your hard earned money their taking,your basically paying them to test their machine as they string you along as it comes time to repair their negligence.Personally,I as well as others agree,their quality control and engineering and machine testing have failed as they have tried to rush these sleds into production leaving out those important factors.Let face it,most of these people you see on their videos are nothing more than glorified salesmen pussy footing through nice groomed acceptable conditions to make it all look good on video with a few great snapshots to tell you their sled performs awesome.{Weeeeee look at meeeeee}.Now, In true real world testing,the way it should be done to test its strengths and weakness,and to see if QC and engineering did their jobs well, the sled or what have you should be put through the utmost extreme riding conditions ,no pussy footing here boys. All out full throttle,ditch diving,jumping,carving,lake blasts at nothing but full throttle,and extreme harsh braking conditions as if the sled was on race race course maxxed out to its fullest potential to near destruction and be done at long enduring intervals to test the machines strengths and weakneses ,{Run it through the Hell Hole.} Let the truth be told at that point where the corrections and improvements need to be made before it goes on the consumer market.That would then prove they would a a virtually bullet proof machine their customers would be happy with to spend their money on.Lets face it,these sleds are very expensive,would'nt you feel better knowing you got your moneys worth of fun out of it rather than wasting it on a headache ??? I know I would expect better quality for that premium price we are paying> No more of this tip towing through the tulips at our expense.Lets see POSITIVE RESULTS NOW no BS.
I am a Yamaha guy and own two of them currently - and love them much better than the other makes. I have previously owned many of them bombs (so to speak). Yes I hear a lot of flack from the other guys owning up to their other makes bombs always busting balls about owning a Yamaha,why ,because they just don't know any better from experience. I like to stick to my guns and stand up for it when I know its good if not the best. I am not a switch hitter so to say.. When something serves me well I stick with it through the thick and thin. I speak my mind how I feel upon a situation without the sugar coating. I understand I may be a bit extreme as this is my method of thinking to bring out the best is why I choose and stay with Yamaha sleds and so on. I don't want you to take it in any negative way or means to my understanding of what I see needs to be improved only to make it better for everyone. Understanding what you have said I know quality does take time to achieve and that being said I believe Yamaha/Cat both slacked off a bit on their quality assurance buy rushing this sled into production without further testing as Ford did so with their 6.0 powerstroke in the beginning and what a nightmare that turned out to be due to their negligence of trying to rush it out into the market to soon without testing. I see this as the same situation and the end result is the consumer ends up being screwed because of this. Keep in mind its my own opinion you do not have to agree.
