800efi review

They said the new lock and ride rack sysytem is so stong, they were able to lift the 800 just by the storage box attached to the racks. Plus they said the 800 was still roosting past 65mph and could do wheelies at 40mph. They also have some good write up on the struts and new CV joints.

When you click the pic go at the bottom and click original, this will give you a full screen. Nice review.

 

I can account for the lock and ride equipment, I just put on the gun scabbard mount tonight, a breeze and sturdy, will be putting up pics later.

Also, I can account for the suspension. I have the '05 700 EFI and have not bottomed out the front end yet and even jumped off a 4 foot fall, wasn't paying attention when my eyes were watering and was going about 50 mph at the time, so couldn't stop in time.

As far as wheelies, I can pull a wheelie at 40 mph, but only if it is off of a jump, but not easy to do. With the 27" tires I have installed, I can't pull a wheelie from stop in high gear, but comes up pretty easy in low gear.....again on my '05 700 EFI. Would be interesting to take the 800 for a ride.....

 

remember elkbow the 800 is supposed to have 25 % more power yet then your 700... thats just insane

 

I can hardly wait to see the big bore comparison's this year.....

 

Cam650, you make a good point. It should be a great shootout with the big bores.If you don't mind me asking, why did you sell the twin peaks and brute force? I like the white F150 sitting beside the kingquad. Two beasts sitting next to each other. Elkbow, I just have to say your SP700 is a beast!! That was an excellent comparison you made between the 589's and the mudlites.

 

great article GE.

thanks!

I pick up my 800 Monday at 10:00am!!! It will be black & silver.
I took a long time to choose between the 800 & the 660 Grizz....
I think I made the right choice.

 

I hope you give us some pics and a review by Mon night.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'm waiting for the black and red one.

By the way, welcome to the forums.

And thanks for the welcome to the forum!
