Battery Dead?

15 xmr mav. I’ve had it 3 months with the same setup. Only electrical add on was a stealth 10 soundbar and it was installed from the dealer from day one. wasn’t until last weekend after i got back from a ride the weekend before the battery was dead. Basically my bike sat up for 5 days and battery was dead. Changed battery ($100):th_smiliefrustrated and rode last weekend no problem. Bike sat up for 5 days this week and bam its dead again today. Any ideas what the problem may be?

New Turbo Retrofits / New demand in the Market

The biggest issue now days with top end machines isn’t if you want a turbo, it’s which one?
Stock is my preference with fit, finish and reliability, but i’m not paying $25,000 for a 131 horsepower unit.
As I see it you have 3 options: Settle with stock, go all out with a base unit, and make all of the modifications you want for a nominal fee, or both.

What I’m wondering is are the new turbo units creating a partial turbo retrofit aftermarket demand? Meaning 131 horse is good and the improved cv cooling systems are key to stay running on the dune but not enough. Will MCX, AeroCharger or Boondockers make simple turbo upgrades to the already not so stock UTV’s?

It’s not just a simple ecm/throttle body mapping controller and change a spring in the turbo or crank up the boost in the stock unit. They are already at a 100% duty cycle.

Furthermore I ride at S.T. Anthony at it’s higher then the max elevation compensation BRP allows for out of the box. WTF! The new Maverick X DS Turbo video a year ago was filmed at S.T. Anthony!

Power Commander or Not?

Hi pepes, I am new to this forum, so HI. I just purchased a new SXS maverick xmr 1000 :th_smiliedance:. It came loaded up with accessories, including dual muzzy exhaust and a power commander 5, no air intake mods. It ran like crap so I brought it back to dealer and they removed the Power commander, now it runs good. Anyone out there experienced with this combo of accessories? I have read that some guys with the power commander in the 1000 outlander were of different opinions weather it was needed with the muzzy duals, no air intake mods.
