*Long write up of why it’s always important to ask questions and be sure about what’s being done to your machine by any shop*
Lucas brought in his 2025 Renegade 1000R XMR after previously having it worked on by another shop in South Carolina. Lucas had a mishap and after spending countless time and money, the machine still wouldn’t run right. Previous shop replaced the gas tank (no clue why), injectors etc. but not the fuel pump. The machine was only getting around 35-38psi fuel pressure (had to be 51psi). Along with all that, the previous shop installed brand new “Full STMs” and turned out to be a STM primary from 2017 that they charged him full price for as if it was brand new and the weight calibration in the arms were not ideal for his machine. We also found almost all hardware on the primary was loose! Also the type of primary installed isn’t our typical one that we recommend for a machine like Lucas but luckily, it can be modified properly to work as intended! The secondary was suppose to have a “35/45 helix and gold spring” but ended up being a completely stock secondary. Also, the machine was “custom tuned” for 100AV fuel (which is pointless to run on a stock engine) but upon actually tuning, the ECM was still in stock calibration form. So here’s what we did/fixed/replaced….
✅ New OEM Fuel Pump
✅ Drained/Cleaned Fuel Tank (had debri in it)
✅ Flushed fuel lines
✅ Cleaned Injectors
✅ Calibrated STM Primary
✅ Added Upgraded Stock Secondary Spring
✅ Tuned via HP Tuners
After fixing the fuel system issues, getting his clutches setup properly, and of course an actual tune, this machine will absolutely rip! We appreciate Lucas for trusting us with his machine and modifications! We also like to extend an apology to Lucas on behalf of all the honest shops that strive to provide an excellent service but also honesty. We all hate to see this happen and we try to prevent it the best we can. Always remember folks, it’s okay to ask questions… even if you think it might be dumb. It’s your hard earned money and you deserve to get a honest/quality service!
