880....runs like a champ. How about yours?

 

1100 racing miles, mostly GNCC. Perfect so far!

 

I ran mine for roughly 100mile, until it jumped out from under me and totalled it'self. It ran flawlessly until then. I'm sure the new one is gonna be just as good.

 

The outty has 1xxx I cant remember.. Did melt the underside of the seat a lil bit this weekend pulling an injured bull outta a canyon. bout 90° outside and spinning the tires in 4 low for a solid 20 minites draggin that big basturd outta there. Should hitched up another quad to him. But the outta drug that big anchor up the hills to where we could get him in a trailer.

 

1000+.....water pump gasket leaked made me over heat..thats all

 

I got my 12/21/05 and have3200mi on it the only problems have been with the front springs and the under seat heat. love the power.

 

brpbear, i hear ya about the heat. mine had a heat shield and still got warm. but what happened with you springs?
From the looks of this thread, there haven't been many "major" problems with the 800. what was the first year they came out and has it been long enough to prove reliability? I'm gettin another one regardless. It's fast as he!!.

 

About 50 miles on 07 800Xt, I say about because it is reading in kilometers,I left the dealer before checking to see if it was set for kilometer or miles, oh well they can change it at the 10 hour service. And I'm lovin every mile (or kilometer) so far. Impressive power, comfort and style. The engine brake on this thing is amazing. Haven't noticed the heat problem on the seat or plastic yet or the spring sag on the front. I am having intermittent problems with the speedo, sounds like a few Outys are seeing this. I'll let the dealer take care of that at the 10 hour service also. I would have a few more miles on this thing, but it seems like I am spending a lot of time on the trail answering questions about how I like the Outy and how well it performs. I don't mind at all.

The front lower springs where weak so we put in the lower one from the rear of a max xt this fixed the problem we have fixed three more this way.The under seat heat is anther problem if you ride fast it is less of a problem.
