2022 FTR Owner Report
- Thread starter Irving
- Start date
They still sputter and surge around 3k. More noticeable once you install a muffler and can hear it.
They did fix the cold start issues for sure though.

22 Carbon here. Delivered Dec of 2021. Only have 400 miles, but yes, still a little surging in the rpm's as everybody else and I always ride it in Sport mode.
Only stalled once.
Temps have only been in the 50's and 60's, but even at that temp, at stop lights, the cylinder deact kicks in a lot. Does sound funny. I would bet in the Summer, that cylinder deact will be engaged within just a few seconds at stop lights.
I know I can cancel that, but will be interesting to see what the bike temps do and how much heat is radiated up at the stops.
Otherwise, bike runs good, better than I expected based on previously owned Vtwins. Love the sound, riding position, overall feel of the bike. I like it.
First American made bike I even had. But have had probably 30 bikes or more over the years.
Still have my 2021 Kawasaki H2 SX SE, which is totally different, but enjoy them both for different reasons.

All it does is change “requested throttle opening” in relation to how many degrees you twisted the throttle tube. It does not change the fueling, it simply acts like you opened the twistgrip less or more for the same rotation. Think of it as having a different ratio (progressive) throttle tube on a carbed bike. It does not change the jets in the carb. It only changes how the bike feels, and restricts full opening in rain mode.

It does not change the carb. But aren't these bikes fuel injected? Not looking for a fight or bickering, honestly. This is my understanding, which could be wrong.
No. It literally only changes how fast the throttle blades open in relation to how much you twist the throttle. Changes nothing else.
its like adding a pedal commander to your car.
s&s makes a module for the base model you plug in that gives you the throttle modes.
called modes not maps since it’s not changing the tune.

22 carbon got it in early March shifter was a bit clunky but buttery smooth after the 500 mile service done at 620 miles paid $250 for the service. Would like to get the tune and exhaust from Ryan and Toce just not tryna spend all my money at once. Had about 800 miles currently

That's interesting as mine is new too and it's driving me crazy...so much so that The Lloyd'z Secret Sauce is goin on it Thursday! From the 1600 RPM idle to random throttle blips or surges, chopping the throttle to upshift takes forever to react while banging through the gears so I'm shifting at 3000 RPM unless I wait on it. It's my first throttle by wire bike but Ryan over at Lloyd's assures me this is all fixed when the bike gets "Sauced".
Several of you said it's the first thing you should do to this bike and based on many reviews and discussions on here imma do it. Thanks All!
Just bought mine in April 2022. I’ve literally put less than 10 miles on the bike and it’s been in the shop three times. Bike dies after 30 mins of riding. All kinds of error codes, some of which the mechanic has never seen before. Polaris Corporate engineers have not found an answer. Claim they’ve never seen a total failure like this before. Bike is a total lemon. Debating whether to have them order a new one or get my money back. They’ve offered to do both. Very, very disappointed in the bike and brand.

Sorry to hear of your woes. But you say Polaris have offered to both offer you a new bike or give you your money back, and you’re disappointed in that response? Personally, aside from your troubles with the bike, I’m not sure you could have asked for a better outcome from Polaris?
