Yeah I'm not expecting any one to feel sorry for me firehog [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]) I have over 1100 miles on mine and have had it about a year now. What can I say I have a lot of time on my weekends and I love my popo it's my first one and since I paid that kind of price I might as well get my use out of it.

WOW, I must live in the right area for service, I can't beleive what you guys have to pay for the most basic stuff at your dealers! I would have to go look up the invoice but my COMPLETE service, fluids AND labor, was like $50-$60! They changed out all the fluids and oil filter (air filter was clean)!

yeah, I can't believe what some of the quotes are from dealers. $250 and up just to change some fluids and "check" everything over....ridiculous! Mine just charges an hourly rate.....so I'm willing to do just about anything for $75 an hour.......but nothing ****, jokout! LOL!

I changed the engine oil and filter in my 800 at about 15 hours. I changed it again at 50 hours. I plan on changing it at 50 hour intervals. I only do about 100 hours a year so changing the oil twice a year isn't that big of a big deal to me.

Seems like I put on a lot of hours but no so many miles!
I usually ride several times a week but don't put all that many miles on during the week since I'm generally plowing my way through my backyard wetlands. I do put on 25-30 miles on the weekend trail rides though.

All of the flooding here has really cut into the riding time and the trails now open to ride!
This week the 400 was mostly used to haul sandbags in flood waters! Have to feel really bad for people loosing everything to the floods!
