My machine has about 3700 miles on it.  I started having intermittent loss of power in the 3500 - 4250 rpm range.  Mine symptoms started about 2 months ago and only occur after the machine has been driving for about 15 minutes.  It will hesitate slightly, experience momentary loss of power, and maybe a few misfires.  This only happens at steady throttle.  As soon as I get up to about 5k rpm, the symptoms stop and the machine runs smoothly. 

Another person on FB was quoting the MSC guy Joel Crane who suggested changing the brake switch (5HY0-080010).  Joel Crane felt that the brake switch is telling the ECU to cut power. I'm not convinced it would be that part since it is a simple gate and if it were bad, then it would also tell the brake lights to turn on.  I do not experience any brake flashes and a couple other people I talked too do not experience the flashes either.  But the switch is relatively inexpensive, so I'll give it a try. 

After replacing the switch, I'll test it.  I'm also considering checking the valve gap.  At 3,700 miles, its time for that job to be completed.

I run 91 and add about 4 oz of Seafoam to each fill-up. Each fill-up for me is about 4.5-5 gallons.  The machine spins like a top.  Not an ounce of trouble.  There is such a minimal amount of cost difference between the 89 and 91, that for me I'll stick with the 91. 

... how is the new filter location and design working out?  Do you have to change or clean the filter in the middle of a dusty ride?  Are the intakes on the 950 in a good position where they are out of the dust line?  How much time and how hard is it to change the filter on the 950?  Thanks.

The location of the air filter makes it incredibly easy to access.  It is squarely in the middle rear of the machine, in the forward section of the cargo bay. It is very easy to access and service. One removes a plastic housing cover and three clamps.  The filter is immediately accessible.  It might take a whopping 20 seconds to remove the air filter from start to finish.  I ride in the dusty desert of southern Utah.  I pull the filter and tap it clean before each ride.  It does pick up some dust so I suspect that a snorkel or port relocation might help that issue.  But honestly, where I ride, the dust is everywhere, so it wouldn't be worth the effort for me. It's super easy to tap it clean and change if necessary.  I have over 1000 miles on my machine and I have not had an ounce of trouble with it.

I am 90% under 20mph doing sand trails, rocky 6" steps, washes, and tight turns.  So I'm in Low Gear all that time. 

I'd really like to know the actual range on the tank.   I get red flashes on the fuel gauge at about 70 miles.  When I fill up, the machine takes about 4.5-5 gallons.  It seems interesting that the gauge is flashes red (super thirsty) at essentially half a tank, when there are still 4 gallons remaining.  I guess what I really need to do is strap on a few jerry cans and run it dry. 

... I don't use my blower until the CVT temp gets at or over 190F ...

How are you measuring the CVT temp?  Did you install the Razorback IR reader?

I made a 70 mile trip over (mostly) crushed gravel with about 15 miles on rocky trails.  At the end of the day, I added about 3.8 gallons of fuel.

This weekend, we went about 45 miles through deep southern Utah sand (Barracks Trail, 4WD, low gear), and added 4.6 gallons.  The machine had been flashing flow fuel for a long time, granted we were climbing hills and the fuel sending unit reads low fuel if on an incline.  According to the spec sheet, the machine holds +9 gallons.  Can anyone confirm?  What maximum amount of much fuel have you added at any one time? I'm at 4.6 gallons.

I'm curious.  When do you guys get low fuel flashes?

I replaced the OEM seatbelts with 4 point harnesses.  I spliced the seat belt wires but I am still getting a seatbelt warning indicator on the dash display.  There didn't seem to be any other effect (no rev limiter engagement).   I'm wondering if maybe rhe machine is expecting some impedance or resistance.  Anyone else bypass the seatbelt circuit,and if so did you use a module like the ones on Amazon?

The morning after a long desert ride, I noticed a small pool of gear oil from the rear transmission, just under the drain plug.  After investigating, I found the transmission oil dipstick was missing its o-ring.  The poor seal allowed for a leak.  Not a big deal, and easy to replace the o-ring, but others might want to check theirs to make sure they have one.  The engine oil dipstick had its o-ring, just the transmission oil was missing one.

I am not affiliated with Storm at all, but found this video on YT.  Storm has some cool new accessories for the 950.

I wanted to have an extra CVT belt on-hand in case I suffer a break down on the trail.  My local dealer said he is able to order the replacement belt for $250 and it would take 3 or 4 days to get in.  Has anyone identified the belt dimensions and found a suitable Gates belt for trail repairs?  Gates belts are usually $55-$75, which is sure better than $250.
