Like stated earlier, Tracks change everything On a machine. another buddy has them on his P1 and I was amazed at how much rpm he ran and the shifting pattern changes. Anther buddy has them on a rubber band machine and goes through rubber-bands like soiled underwear 😂
To answer your question, sounds like something in the DCT to me being your on tracks most if the time. How many miles on the machine Since the update?
In the winter I just use my machine around home to take dogs for exercise plus groom my trails. So it's usually in high and just putter around. Usually shifts into second and stays there. I've taken it down the road a few times but don't like how it revs even in 6 th. I've gone on a small ride across snow covered field but it needs to be in sport mode or it's forever upshifting and downshifting. Gas mileage sucks .
When I bought the machine the clutch update plus anything else had already been done. There was a couple things I had to take it in for as well. { extened warrenty was passed on to me . March of 2022 it's done.} My servicing is done by hrs not mileage. every 100 hrs . In summer mileage gets put on quickly. In winter mileage is almost double due to tracks but within the same amount of hrs.
It was bought with 10,000 klms [6000 miles] now have almost 20,000 klms [ 12,000 miles] since July of 2020. I use my machine lots. Previous 2 polaris sold with 16,000 klms and previous Pioneer 700 sold with 24,000 klms. the other3 had been bought new. Only used one is this P1000 . What I like is that with the Honda's there pretty much regular manitance and ride.
