I like my gas hog 800 just fine, rode 77 miles on 3.8 gallons. Cost 12.96 to fill it up, where else can you have that much fun for 12.96??????

 

Not when I mash the go lever on the SP700!

 

You can find an alternative to the Fuel Packs here but this only holds one gallon four ounces and it fits all Sportsmans EXCEPT the 800.

 

Hahahah, I agree. I ride a 500HO and I usually carry two flatpacks for the long rides we do here in the west.

i'm glad you guys are enjoying your 800's so much. i'm pondering a hunter edition 800 (2005), a '06 800 in red/black, or waiting till next Spring for the all-new X2 500EFI.

what do y'all think i should do?

 

I prefered the alloy wheels to the black steel wheels because alloy shouldn't rust like steel so I didn't get the hunter edition. The rest I can buy and install

 

I own 2 2005 800 efi they both will now with 600 miles on both of them do a little over 50 miles on a tank..im in southwest va...
I owned a 2005 700efi and it was the same..the 70 and 80 miles on a tank that some say there getting on the 800 to me after all
the guys that own them here seems to be totally fabricated....but I bought my son and I a 3.5 gallon fuel pack that fits nicely on the front or rear rack
incase we wanna take a pretty good journey..we average over 50 miles each ride..Ill take the milage like you id be tickled to death if I got 60 miles and would be totally pleased with that......I love my 800"s though..

My first tank on my 2006 800 I got 45 miles, the instrument cluster started to flash fuel low. I took extra fuel with me but I did not need it. I did all types of riding mud, muskkeg, hills and trails. I do hope it gets better, I think it will because it was the first tank. Overall I am very pleased with the performance of the 800. It must be the most comfortable riding quad out there. I would have to question how some are getting 77 miles to the tank, maybe if they are putting down a gravel road for the 77 miles. So far I am very impressed with the 2006.

Happy Trails

 

Well you can choose to believe it or not, I really don't care. The trip meter read 77 miles and the gas pump read 3.8 gallons, figure it out....

Powerslider I am not calling you a liar! I was stating that to get that mileage you must have been driving slow on a flat service. If you get that king of mileage that's great, you must have a special edition 800 that gets better mileage than the rest of the 800 owners. Who know's once mine is broke in I might have one of those special edition 800's. By the way, what were you getting out of a tank of gas when yours was new?
