Chad,
I have a T660 Turbo, Red with White racing stripes so it has to be fast. I will trade you that and a 07 F6 SP (low miles) for the Summit… (we told you not to take it)

looks like poo is sending out crate motors for everyone with the 800 problem
friends all got letters from polaris --said to stop riding them...

This guy is an idiot, I have a 2009 800 IQ, and 2009 dragon 800!
All you need to do is have it reflashed, to get the bog out at 45 to 50 mph, also redo the clutch take out the 68 gram weights put in 70 gram weights, makes it real fast low and midrange. I was told that some have piston rings braking from the Il dealer, have not heard that from my dealer in Wisconsin.
Also stay with the champion plugs no NGK's the dealer said people are having problems with them!
One more thing use only 92 or 93 octane gas and plug the wires in big differnce otherwise you will foul plugs every 100 miles I did plug them in no problems, also once you get over 400 miles the 800 gets faster.

The dealers said Polaris might replace the pistons and rings, thats all I heard? the 3 out of 6 sleds, I said had that had a melt down, had the first reflash and to find out the dealer said they where using 87, to 89 octane. My sleds
700 miles on the 800 IQ, 500 miles on the 800 Dragon.
The season has been over, no letters from Polaris, same with my friends when did you get yours?
This is why I never had the reflash done yet only the people who had reflashs had sleds lock up,50% at 3 different dealers in 2 states. The new reflash is suppost to be out by fall.
So you are saying Polaris is sending out new 800 motors in a crate????

I will contact my Polaris dealer in Wisconsin, and talk to my friend at the Polaris dealer in Il, I will post what I found out, 10 days ago I bought a new trailer, and they didn't know anything yet? Only the new reflash and maybe new pistons and rings, but nothing is for sure yet, that was 10 days ago.

yep letter was sent out on march 19th
I have a good dealer I'm not worried he always takes care of any problems, the letter is not there on hardcoresledder,it says errors, also did you get a letter from Polaris?
Unlike my friends who bought new 700 firecats from artic cat back in 2005 and the motors blew up in 25 miles on both of them, Artic cat did not want to cover them it took a month they never did run good, I was with them in Mercer Wi when they locked up. They are back with Polaris this year, this is the problem with any new high end motor sled from any of the 4 brands new motors risk of problems the first year.

what have you found out indyxcr?

the letter
I was talking with a friend who works at a poo dealer out west WHO is working with polaris as I type to come up with a solution for this problem and what it looks to be is a COLLING issue its toooooo cold on the back side of the pistons and it has something to do with a port that is to small
