Hello yall i have questions about a 2006 Polaris sportsman 800. Are they V-Twins or single cylinders? Are they reliable which i am pretty sure of because they are made by Polaris but has anyone of yous had any problems with the 800's? Are they fuel injected? Do they have dual exhaust? sorry for all the questions but i have to know this and fast because the guy wants to get rid of it NOW for like 4500 bucks so please help me

 

V-Twin efi and dual exhaust for 06

 

EFI, dual exhaust(stock), and it's a twin(parallel-not v). Had an 05, 07, and 09. Never had any reliability issues.

 

The 06 800's are a twin cylinder fuel injected but not a V-twin. The pistons set side by side. I have 2 buddies with the 800's, ones a 07 and the other an 08 and neither of them have had any issues thus far. The buddy with the 07 beats the **** out of his and it still runs great. I won't say as reliable as the good old 500 but it's a good set-up. Some years came with dual and some with single exhaust, not sure which years which. I think it was the 05's that had some exhaust heat issues and melted plastic's but not for sure. Anyways that can be addressed with exhaust wrap and reflective insulation tape in most cases. Depending on the condition of the machine, $4500 is a pretty good deal. IMO How many mile and hours? Damage?

 

its not true dual exhaust, just dual mufflers with a crossover pipe between the 2

 

some had fuel pump issues. check the awd really good to make sure it isn't broke. i had an 06 and 08' and both were good bikes.
