Thank you very much for trying to keep us in the loop here!

I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to which machines will need the update applied. I don't know if anybody really knows for sure. I've seen where I think you posted something about a Sept production date as a cutoff, but what about those of us with 4/2014 built sleds?

Has Yamaha actually made mention of where the line is supposed to fall be it by derail number or by production date?

I guess I'm going under the assumption that mine will need the update.

If your machine was built before sept 1 this year you should get the update

 

[subaru2006]

what if your sled has no issues and are running a power commander now? to update or not...

I updated mine with a power commander and auto tuner. I notice a difference at idle and it starts way way better. However it is, as always up to the customer to make the choice to do it or not. I don't think you have anything to loose by doing it

 

[subaru2006]

did you remove the pc first or leave it on for the update?

I left everything hooked up and it worked fine

That's kind of how I understood it, but mine apparently did not ship until Sept/Oct so I am assuming it was not completed until around that time.

Probably would have made too much sense to update before they shipped

I would just call the dealer with your serial number and they will be able to tell you for sure.

I know Cat has an online tracker system that lets guys check it themselves, but did not see that Yamaha had anything like that.

I would rather have a sled that I can ride with a small start issue than have it sit at the factory unitll the update was done

Very true. I rode my sled over 2000 miles last year and the hot start issue was just a minor annoyance that I experienced less than a handful of times.

But if it's sitting at the MFR doing nothing apparently waiting for parts...

April build to Late Sept/October ship is a long sit.

As of today ( November 21 ) Yamaha still has not made it official on which sled will have the reflashing done ! VIN check will come up empty as the bulletin has not yet been official ! We will post as soon as it is ! Be calm and enjoy the holiday !

Is there any way to check the VIN number? Or is the only way to call the dealer? Mine was delivered late August, but I did find a cob-web or too making me think it was stored in inventory for quite a while.
