Electronic Control Modules , I do not think they were introduced until second half of 2004 so your ok.

The also make the ATV not run unless it has a healthy battery so the pull start as a back up is almost pointless now.

I'm glad the 07s are still ok... Untill they expand it a few more years. I wonder if Caper could take his in for a fourth ECM [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

This is the old service bulletin, not the latest.

Downloading the new one, be back shortly

There is no testing involved at all on the new bulletin, just replacement(matter of fact I had to send the tester back to Polaris that they issued years ago) Even if your ecm was tested and passed, they are still probably going to replace it. If you have a model in the vin range and it is the potted ecm and not the unpotted die cast ecm, it will get replaced. Basically, if your machine has 3 different connectors on the ecm, it's gonna get replaced. The newest ones have one large connector, a short harness, and then the three connectors. They are not getting replaced.

try this

im seeing alot more post on this crappy ecm they got of hold of. they should have done this recall in 06' when then they realized it covered such a wide number of bikes. but better late then never i guess.
