What have they changed on the 2011 850 xp
I have heard they changed these things. sld, cam, valves, timing, clutching,
If anybody knows if this is true and what they really could you please post info.
Thanks

 

Cam and exhaust valves have different part numbers but the intake valves are the same. The clutch has different part numbers also.

 

Thanks
Do you know what the actually did to those parts?

 

On the 2011 550 and 850 it has a new secondary clutch. Completely different from the 2009-2010 or any other models. Springs and helix will not innerchange from any other models. Clutch is just a touch lighter then the older ones. Performance seems to be the same at the older ones.

 

I also heard that they changed the way the fenders fit together...making a better seal than the '09 models.

I never had any issues with the way my fenders fit...but apparently Polaris thought they could have a better / closer tolerance.

Very interesting on the new secondary clutch... I wonder if it has to do with the clunk into gear issue?

new Dig pod
489 II radial tires
wider fender flares (mud protection)
smoother clutching

 

Yeah...I saw some pics online with some 2011 XP models...and some had the NEW Pod...and other had the '09 Pod flavor. I wonder what is up??? I mean...why have two different Pod's for the XP models???
