2009 Dragon 800

I bought mine 2 years ago. It had all the reflashes done and ran great. Then I had bad ground that somehow fried the cpu and voltage regulator. Those were replaced under warranty and now it runs even better. Horrible on gas but that could be the rider

Overall, I love mine but you will get alot of negative feedback on the sled as well.
Best thing to do is get the VIN number and call a Polaris dealer. They can tell you everything that was been done under warranty.
Good luck!

I have never really "calculated" it and it's hard to say because we run off trail alot but, I would estimate 10-13 on the trail. Mine is a switchback but I don't think that would make a difference.
For the record, I paid $5,600 for mine 2.5 years ago with 2,500 miles on it because that's when everyone was bashing that motor and they couldn't give them away. That being said, you can probably do a little better on the price if you work them right. I got mine from a private party.

Good answer!
5300, close to 6000...... isn't that basically the same? that's like one days' riding of a difference....
just givin ya a hard time indy.
I have a 2009 RMK 800. Ran great until just this last winter. Wasn't getting the top end RPM at elevation. Tried different things, then was told to try a lighter spring in the exhaust valves. Pulled the valves and noticed scoring on the piston on the mag side.
So, I fixed 'er up and and we will see what happens this winter. Note that prior to this, I had all the fixes done, and the most current flash. So it's hard to say if it was the 'old issue' or if it was me, or something else. It seemed to run just fine, just no top end (would no go above 7500 rpm). So, I say buy it but just keep an eye on it so you can catch something (if it happens) before it causes catastrophic issues.

I just run stock.
82 mph is as fast as mine will go. Had all the updates done as well. Kinda frustrating especially after owning an 05 Fusion. Most likely my last Poo. Been loyal in all my snowmobiling(28 yrs). I have a 02 700 xp also that is by far the best sled I've owned. The motor is solid still will do 105 mph. The knees just can't take it anymore or I'd get rid of the Dragon. I guess what I'm asking is what can I do to this thing to maximize it's potential?
As dumb as it sounds, have the throttle cable checked. You can't ever assume that the dealer set the sled up right when they took it out of the crate.
