Bought my 2014 xtx second hand. Had 1,000 miles on it. Now has 3000. No starter issues with mine. I do have the hot start issue, and have never had the ECU reflashed.

2014 RTX
14 Flash- 2200 miles on original flash, had some (less than 10) hot starts and it threw codes a few times
15 Re-Flash- 800 miles, maybe had a few mild kick backs, but nothing that really stuck in my mind
Total 3080 miles.

If it breaks I will get it fixed. It's not worth worrying about since you can't really do anything about it until if and when it breaks.

2014 XTX. 1,200 miles on stock flash. Many hot start issues but no kick backs.

Reflashed in late 2014 and hot starts went away. Both flashes had a surging idle. Still no kick backs and now at 2,680 miles.

Installed Hurricane 190 kit with PCV and now idle is smooth. No miles yet on kit.
