Hey sheepdog did you ever get the photos I send you of my sportman 500 touring,I never seen them, just wandering, I tried and tried and cant get them to go on my page/

 

Buggy, I waited and waited for them but never saw them. Maybe they went into my spam folder and got deleted with the 100 or more actual spam that I get every day. Let me know the next time you send them and I'll look in there for them. They never did show up in my INBOX.

Sorry.

 

hey stendori how's you 800 on gas the thing i noticed is that this one seems to eat it a little but then again i dont know what kind of maintance was done . im thinking about having my dealer look it over and see if a sensor or something else could need tunning. like maybe the software.

 

As of last year, I got between 12 and 15 mpg. I'm hoping for better this year since it should be fully broken-in.

 

cool, depending on how drive it is a big factor. on my 06' i got a little as 8 mpg and up to 16 going easy for a 60 miles run. now my 08' isnt totally broke in yet but was pulling 14 mpg. now if you decide to put bigger tires on or run alot in lowrange or in mud condtions you wont see very good gas milage. you only have a 4.25 gallon tank and dont plan on more then 50 miles on a tank w/out bring gas w/ you.

 

thank's for the info that seem's about right.

 

sheepdog, i have a 07 800 deluxe as you and i was wondering if you have had any heat problems from the exuast. especially around the side cover next to the gear shifter. mine seems to be getting warm. Polaris dosen't have a fix for it.

 

gutterman, welcome. there is another post on here telling of how polaris is replacing the heat sheilds and remapping the efi to run a little richer to help the heat problem.
