However the 2022 Pro LTD does not seem to like the cold compared to the old HD8. 2019 HD8 XT Cab (on tracks) Odyssey Battery PC1200 0W40 Winter Can-am Oil Start no problem -30C to -40C 2022 HD10 Pro LTD (on tires) Odyssey Battery PC1200 0W40 Winter Can-am Oil Silicone pad oil heater -35C to -40C hard time starting I unfortunately do not have a garage, but leave the 2022 plugged in to a trickle charger and the pad heater overnight. Not sure if I am missing something or if others are trying other things. I have had my HD8 cold soak in -40C for days and still fire up. The only thing that comes to mind is the bigger engine needing more cranking power or the AC compressor causes a hard time cold starting? Any feedback or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Does it fire then stall? Or do you have to crank it a lot before it fires up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought this was a throttle body sensor, but apparently its actually part of the gas pedal assembly. Supposedly its to prevent people from flooding the engine? Anway what I am told is the sensor has failed and is starving the machine of fuel not allowing it to start. So I am just waiting for this to come in now...... Frustrating from an otherwise great machine. For some reasons this has not been an issue on the 2019 HD8 XT Cab so I wonder if something changed or if this is a new sensor. But they said they have had a few of these in Defenders and Commanders not starting due to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
