New to the can-am pink wire question

floutlaws · #1 (**permalink**) 08-28-2010, 10:32 AM

We have a 08 Ds 450 x; we have the can-am stage 1 kit with the new ecu, what will happen with the “pink wire” with the updated ecu, lid off, k&n with outer wear, and the new pipe. We are setting it up for the hair scrambles in Florida.

Thanks for any help glad to be away from the red bike…..

what all does the stage 1 kit give you.

+2 A arms, adjustable rear hollow axel, replace the 2 bearing carrier, to a 4 bearing carrier, up graded front end let’s more are in, K&N filter with outer filter, new reprogrammed ECU, extended up graded tie rods with ends, stainless extended brake lines. I think that’s it, nope the moto work exhaust but if you get into the racer x program you also get one thousand bucks to pick out items from the online catalog.. It’s a sweet deal…
But what the information on the pink wire….

When you cut the pink wire, you get a race map preset in the ecu
you can use either one. if you got the ecu from Can AM race dept , I suggest using it ...
we use it on our practice bike. very dependable and quick if you add the bcs intake

i suggest you try it both ways and pick whichever you like.

U know u do have to pay for the +2 arms, shocks, and axle....and everything else with that kit. U don't get it in the stage one kit. And try the damn search button in the forum and you'd find 50+ threads about it......

Well either way those parts are not part of the stage 1 kit, no matter if you paid for them or not. and honestly what we paid for the "x-package" parts was penny's on the dollar for what they normally cost for them. So it really didnt "suck" for me atleast.
