2022-Up Defender HD9 Stage 1 Lock & Load Kit

The Aftermarket Assassins Stage 1 Lock & Load Kit pairs AA performance tunes on a Power Vision PV3 tuner with the AA Stage 1 clutch kit for the Can-Am Defender HD9. This engine likes more RPM than the factory allows, and the tune and clutching together let it get there.

Why it holds up

• Throttle by wire tables reworked for better response in high range, with low range kept mild for crawling and more low range throttle than stock
• Fuel and timing tables modified for low end punch and safe air fuel ratios, available in 87 octane and 91 to 93 octane
• Fan on and off temps lowered from 203 and 198 to 185 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit, speed limiters removed, and rev limit raised from 8000 to 8500 RPM
• Safety parameters that protect the engine stay in place
• S1 clutch kit works only on the secondary, using the AA adjustable helix and a stiffer secondary spring

Fits

• 2022 and newer Can-Am Defender HD9, all models

In the box

• Power Vision PV3 tuner with AA tunes
• AA 1053 adjustable helix with installation and adjustment tools
• Black secondary spring

Good to know

• Level 1 gains 3 to 4 RWHP with stock clutching. Clutched for 6400 to 6700 RPM at 45 to 50 MPH, it gains 6 to 7 RWHP. Level 2 with an exhaust and clutching totals 9 to 10 RWHP over stock.
• Level 1 is for stock exhaust systems only. Level 2 is for aftermarket slip on or full exhaust systems only.
• The Power Vision reflashes the ECU over the diagnostic port in roughly 8 to 10 minutes. Switch tunes, upgrade or return to stock any time, and use it as a gauge and data logger.
• Winter tunes that run hotter but safe coolant temps are available for cab and heater machines in cold climates.
• The optional seatbelt limiter delete still leaves the seatbelt warning on the gauge cluster.
