Cold seize. Cold seize. Cold seize.
Did I mention that it sounds like a cold seize.

i doubt the people in kallispell are going to give him a loaner...he didn't buy it from them...this could also be the reason why they can't get to it until next week as well...
sucks a$$...have a round on me tonight hooch...CHEERS!!
First thing that came to my mind when he told me, i asked if it was up to temp before he hopped on it cold seize is not the case here but it does have those symptoms "damn wiescos'' lol is usally the case

Example of a sled running with no oil..
Here is an example of a sled running with no oil to the point of burn down. Like many others have said if it was an oiling issue you still would have made it fartherthan .8 miles. It had to be some type of mechanical failure or debris.

HAHAHHAHAHAAHHA!!! not to be a di$k but newer is not always better!!! I dont know if I can Ride around you now ,Craig and Paul will never shut up so there is no chance for me and the m1000!!! hope they get it done fast took 3 months for my bulkhead back a few years!!!
In 09 there where some failures, thats when we started to here about running them on a stand varying the throttle until temp light flashed and do it for a little longer. When they started doing it the failures stopped.
Some of you say break in doesn't matter but it all depends on tolerances, if they are tight you need break in just ask anyone with a cpc 1000 dragon cat.
Even my 09 m1000 scuffed with 57miles on it, happened after 6 miles on the trail riding easy and it died, restarted and ran it for another 200miles and wouldn't do anymore damage, I tried to blow the motor and no go. I have even scuffed both pistons on a m1000 and kept riding. But eventually it wouldn't and had to add +60 on the bd box to make it fire. It increased the compression enough and I made it out. Never had one stick though other than a piston falling apart or crank go out.

2 scuffs on exhaust side of piston. Could it not be lack of fuel or a combo lean deto? Mayben just bad mapping. Just a thought.

Fastoys in kalispell is not a good dealer whatsoever. Usually cheap inexperienced mechanical help and a pizz poor attitude. Wouldn't count on a loaner... Hope the best for ya hooch.
Ok one thing that can be ruled out is first year growing pains as far as the motor. This motor is stout! With that being said is it human error? Pinched oil line, air bubbles, debri in the airbox? There are many possibilites. Bad batch of motors from Suzuki? Can happen! usually not, but in 2007 I received a complete motor replacement for my M1000 as Suzuki identified approximatley 100 enigines that were out of spec from the factory in Japan a crank deal. This will be interesting as we have heard of others going down.

Bad deal! I also got my pro m8 from missoula and completely went though the sled checking everything and tightening bolts that were lose. Ran the sled for the first time today in 3 feet of powder and ran great.I just mixed the gas 100/1 let it warm up for a few minutes than rode it like it was my buddy's sled for 30 miles. I thank alot is the dealer you get the sled from I had alot of adjustments to make! I've been though this on mym1000 i i got from them a few years ago.
A
what kind of adjustments did you have to make i'm realy worried i got mine libby. with all the sht i've herd i'm thinking i should have kept my m7 for another year.
M
or maybe some javex.lol. did u look to see if the oiler was still hooked up? or did u forget to put oil in it .
R
The throttle body boot clamps were lose, tighten the oiler jam nut, my pull rope was rubbing .air box seal was comming off.bumper bolts were not tight at all. Toped off coolent.I did this the first day I got it home as I know they don't. Take some pride in your work dealers!!!

thanks for the info been looking mine over have not found anything yet.

well thats funny because we picked up cat in 2010 and thats what we were told todo . but we do live in a area were you can't go do a 20mile road its of the truck and pinned. and if u start your sled and u don't see smoke something must be wrong.

Not saying dealer prep wasn't at fault but when you find a good dealer there's nothing better. Putting in a good word for Jeff at Outlaw in Vegreville.
Also, someone mentioned worrying about melting hyfax when you do a heat cycle and spin the track? Don't worry - when the back end is hiked up there's no real pressure there anyway except a little at the front where the track kicks back up off the drivers and that's pretty minimal too. Nice and easy does it.
Someone else mentioned the rings breaking in on the cylinder wall cross hatching - there's cross hatching on a new plated cylinder wall? That would be different. Maybe I'm missing something with that one......

dealer prep is to put handlebars up tighten track put skis on and take your check? that's kinda what I thought.......no dealer here will heat cycle your sled.....
