This weekend the belt on my 07 SP800 broke, with only 37 hours on the machine, the dealer just called with the diagnosis and the front engine mount is cracked, thus causing the clutches to become mis-aligned and when the belt broke it punched a hole in the bottom of the clutch cover.

all of the repairs are being covered by warranty and the dealer said there is updated front engine mount for the 800.

 

I ride an 08 800EFI. When you next talk to the dealer, can you ask if the 08 models have this new front mount?

Many thanks,

i know the older 800's had mount problems but my 06' was fine. i too am wondering they had an update where i have an 08' keep us posted thanks.

 

I broke one on my 700, I would update it if possible.

 

new 08 updated engine mount part # 3022071

the old one is # 3110044

I'm going to try to get pictures of the cracked one today

 

according the parts break down on my 08'800 they have the new part in ours. its the same part number they gave blacksheep(updated one). good to know thanks.
and that is the front mount hes talking about.

 

also I found out there is a "after market" mount you can use, its alot stronger, its a motor/trans mount from a Ford Falcon Napa part # 602-1069

 

here is what the broken mount looks like, its not mine but mine looks exactly like this

 

Thanks Black, I wondered what the broken mount looked like. Now I know what to check for everytime I look at mine.
