My dealer told me that my 550 has a reflash update for ruff idle problem. Thought I might see if any one ells hard this from there dealer, our had it done to there 550 and seen a difference? Thanks

 

I know i've had the update done on my ECM for my 850,not sure what it fixed but had it done.. Go and let them hook it to the computer and update it takes a whole 10 mins..

 

My dealer said that the reflash justs speeds up the already high idle to smooth it out. 1650 is high enough for me and if i remember right it would be bumped to 1750 or 1800 rpm.

 

This is the 1st i heard of this. I will be calling my dealer tomorrow to see what they say.

 

Can’t decide whether to do the update or not, I really don’t want it to idle at 1800 that’s too fast for me. It idles ok now at 1650 so will just levee it tell I hear something different.

 

Seems like they are covering up a problem rather than fixing it if they have to run the idle that far up to smooth it out (1800 rpm). Thats a joke.

 

I picked up my 550 XP today and my dealer had already flashed it. He also mentioned that there is a procedure to calibrate it for the altitude you are riding at by cyling the key switch on and off a particular # of times. I'll have to look at the paperwork. I can't remember how many times.

 

Lo, what does your 550 idle at? and does it seem smooth or is there still a little engine vibration. Thanks

 

Humm...this is very interesting to hear???

Any more details would be GREAT for the XP community...
