Don't worry v2, he isn't even a Pastor. Funny thing is that he actually has about 4 log in names on this site, and will even have conversations with himself!
Now that is funny!!!!

hey bryce Unless they changed the popo 4wd in the later versions. I think you may have your whole gearing think backwards. don't you ? my popos never disengage unless i tore a wire off of course. or pushed the button just yesterday i was out up and down hills and in 4wd going very slow no back tire slip. i'm 100% positive that the 4wd was in the whole time. Did they change it

I have never been on a ride with an 800 can-am, but ride with just about every other bike. we go to a big ralley every year and at the end is the quad pulls, everyone goes up on the scale to weigh in and keep things fair by adding sand bags to the lighter machines. all things being equal, ie: quad boxes, bumpers, tires, there is very little difference between the bikes of the same cc size. my 700 polaris was only 50lbs heavier than the 700 brute and the 660 griz. there has never been a can-am in that ralley and i wish there was because then i could see for myself how they stand up. as of yet i have failed to find another bike that keeps up to my 700 in the mud pits and it was edged only slightly by one of the 700 brutes in the quad pulls. next may i will have the new 800 with me and hope to see some can-am's. the ralley is in Loon Lake Sask. Canada on the 1st weekend in may every year, last year there was over 350 machines, it is a great time. all you can-am riders are more than welcome to come up and see what your bikes do in some real mud and hills.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Good post. How do you like the color of your pol800 stealth? Is the black finish glossy or flat?

I understand the can-am 800 beating the pol800, but not the can-am 650 beating the pol800. When I rode the sp800 and can-am 800 last week (the dealer sells both - Gene's Powersports used to be Gene's Polaris Baytown, Texas), the sells guy rode the can-am 650 while we test rode the other two. In the 150yard drag, the can-am800 beat the pol800 by about 3 quad lengths, but the pol800 beat the can-am650 by about 2 quad lengths.. I understand a can-am650 being very close to the pol700, but not the pol800. And, I don't even own one, I have a bf750. Just mentioning what I actually experienced last week. Remember, that doesn't mean the 650can-am is bad, but on the contrary the best 650-700 class bike.
