Is any one out there doing their own service work on the 800. I plan to do mine. Any tips or tricks? Like the O-ring on the filter cover and the oil plug gasket need to be replaced each time? Doing my own maintenance helps me bond with the machine.

 

I plan on doing my 650 outty myself after the first service by the dealer so can't help you yet but I too will be listening for any tips.

 

Wait until you need it, void warranty.

 

Whats got more power, the outty 650 or the BF 650? And is there anything diffrent about the OUtty 650 or is it the same as the 400 and 800?

 

The 650 is identical to the 800 except for displacement, all other features are the same, suspension, efi, dimensions etc. Have never drove the BF 650 so I cannot say which has more power. The Outty is strong, that I know.

 

650 weight more because it has steel wheels. The 800 has aluminum

 

Don't need to do the O-ring each time nor the copper gasket on the drain plug. I would keep a spare O-ring around and change it once a year anyway.
Us a small wrench or socket on the forward most of the three filter cover bolts and then you won't need to remove any plastic.
Drain plug on the rear diff is hard to see. On the left and you need to remove four bolts and the plastic shield for the rear inner CV boots.
Fill plug on the front diff is behind the RF brake rotor. Be careful not to oil your brakes while filling it.

You will want a lube pump with a small hose or a syringe with a hose.

On the diffs the drain and fill plugs are a little hard to find but that won't be for a while along with the transfer case. I don't plan on doing any more than flewids, filters. greese, and brakes. Maybe a spark plug. Seems to be a lot like the new cars, it runs or it don't. If it don't, you take it in. Got a spare chipped key today. I recomend every body get one before you need one.
