800 or 850xp???
Gonna step up and go with the big bore...the 800 has always been strong..the new 850 is crazy HP...but had talked to a mech. and he said that since they truned the motor sideways in the 850 to replace the belt is a REAL pain in the neck..he charges 200 bucks to do it...I Mud ride and water ride..so that makes me afraid of the 850...Because I will clutch it out...and run 29.5 or 30's with a lift....what it the real power differance anyone know??

I've opened my belt case twice. It's not that hard. I bitched about it the first time, but the second was piece of cake. Never pay 200 bucks for such a thing. You figure it out the first time, then move right through the second. Easy.

There is a very noticable power difference. The 850 is advertised at 70hp and the 800 are around mid 50's like readymixer said.
I have done many clutches on the new XP's both 550/850 and 2009 and 2010 models and the older style sportmans. The new ones arent that much harder, just takes a few more patiences the first time. Either way not worth paying 200. Time was it will take a few minutes longer on an XP compared to the older sportsmans so price shouldn't be much higher from shops.
