I have done a ton of searching and cant find any info that is relevant to 2020, as most threads that pull up are pre 2013 for some reason. I think I have a fuel issue, but havent heard of any known issues with 2020 and fuel pump. It has been intermittently losing power for a month. I assume it was the belt slipping initially but it wouldnt build RPMs so I kind of ruled that out. I have not sank it or even had it in water over the footboards in 6 months and have filled up with new gas from different gas stations and hasnt fixed the issue. Last time I rode it the power was there and over the weekend I installed my CVTech primary and reinstalled the stock secondary spring with a gates belt (previously running a WKP 32" tire spring). I was anxious to see what a difference it made and it would barely sling dirt in low gear I was back to having no power, not building rpms, and just a bogging feeling. Wouldnt get over 35 mph and didnt get there in a hurry. The primary and secondary are working fine the belt rides to the top of the primary and secondary is functioning normally. I have not checked fuel pressure yet I didnt have time to keep messing with it last night and have a ton of work to finish up before our ride next weekend so Ive got to diagnose this thing quick in the event I need to order parts. Mods are free flowing custom exhaust from head pipe back, uni filter w/ 2" snorkel riser from the air box (just re-did the snorkel risers and filter and had same symptoms before and after), and attitude fuel controller (adjustments adding fuel have not helped). Ill list the symptoms and observations first.
2020 Outlander 450 DPS
-Noticeable power loss to 50% or less down low, then wont build rpms at all they just slowly rise until 30-35 mph and I'm topped out. (Not sure of RPM, my guages werent in last night when I tested it out and cant remember what they were last time)
-Occasionally when I take off from a stop it bogs and dies but has always had that ridiculous bog upon blip of the throttle nonsense since it was new. It just didnt shut down when it bogged until this started. It will start right back up however.
-Two different times it made the machine vibrate pretty noticeably in the foot board area while limping it home
-Is not throwing a code
-after a wot run which had no power and about 30 sec of idle getting it back to my shop the plug was whiteish grey/ whiteish grey pink in color
-Just re-ran snorkels so it is clean and obstruction free, no water or dirt/ debris from inlet to air box.
-Oil level is dead on
I guess its possible that Ive had bad gas the last two tanks. The last few months all Ive done is work on my house to sell, sell and move, and work on the new place, so it gets ridden a few times a week but theyre 5 to 10 minute rides ( I ride it to the store alot). Being so it takes a month to go through a tank at the rate ive been riding it. When I do ride it, I ride it hard it doesnt get babied at all except when its lost power and I baby it home. Im going to empty the tank and fill up with non ethanol from a reputable gas station and grab a can of sea foam on the way home, but if anyone has any knowledge of issues or common diagnoses based on the symptoms that would be great. I was barely going to have time to finish it up after going to 30s on no lift and getting them to clear, so this is probably going to kill my ride this weekend I desperately needed after the last few months going non stop and doing nothing but work.
I appreciate any input!
