I heard that a new 800 DS kit was shown at the big ATV show this weekend and that it is very reasonably priced - did any one attend and does anyone have details? I heard it was a custom cast jug, required no machining and just drops in.

 

Did I read that right? a 800cc big bore that just drops in, no stroke and it is 800cc? That would have to be a 111mm bore! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] with the stock 83mm stroke

 

that is my understanding- stock stroke, big bore and not an HP jug. It was at the indianapolis show this weekend....anybody know???

 

I didn't hear anyone say there wasn't any stroke.

Is the 800 a drop in like the 730? No machining of the cases?

Was it DS650King that was saying there is long lead-time already??? Business must be good?

Gonna be like The White Man shooting the Buffalo on the open plains. . . the Raptor's are going to be skined alive [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I honestly don't see how they could make a 111mm bore and still have it be water cooled. The water jackets in the cylinder could be redesigned, but what about the head? The water jackets in the head would never line up with the water jackets in the cylinder.

 

and how thin would that skirt be, if it fit without case machining?

either way, another DS builder? that's kinda cool. Hope soebody comes up with some answers...very interesting

 

800 bolt on, come on guys, you know it's not that easy, MAJOR MODS
