I have heard nothing but good about the 7's.

Bought one in Dec and nothing wrong with it so far. only 250 miles, but its still good. Buy one while you still can.
Excellent pull and go sled, good power, good mileage, reliable. My wife's has 400 miles and hasn't skipped a beat.

There are Great rebates right now on polaris sleds, now is the time. You cant go wrong with a 700 unless you are a bigger guy, then it is a little underpowered

I've put just under 900miles on one this year and have yet to have a problem (knock on wood). Still on the original belt and plugs.

IF you get one make sure the air intake is sealed up well, tons of threads on that topic. Have 2300 miles on an 08 sled, scored the pistons at 700 due to the air intake not being sealed well. Great motor, if your over 200 lbs , may want to go a little bigger.

i have an 09 700 rmk 155 with slp single pipe and can with some clutching its runs 8300 rpm all day long. ive never had a bog or burp what ever you want to call it there 1200 on the sled now and my first belt lasted till 625 miles. lets just say im not getting a new sled next year now that they took the 700 out of the line up
C
you have a link to those threads? I hate the search feature on this website. Just put the slp air horn on and want to see if there have been any issues.

I don't. In a nut shell you need to take the plenum off, seal around the headlight, where the hood meets the dash, and any other spot you can see gaps. If you don't these all lead right into your motor and can do bad things. IE suck in road dirt, in deep dry snow it will suck it in etc etc.
I have an 07 D7 with 2800 miles on it. I'm selling it because I bought a D8, but it was bullet proof. No motor work, no break downs, pure fun and always went where all the 800's went.
I never sealed my headlight and never had a problem with it. You will need an HPS can, Better Boards, 19t gear and if you can afford it, change up to Fox Floats.

600 plus miles on mine and no issues, still same belt from new. Will be keeping and adding a turbo vs buying an 800 they just have to many issues for me. Pull and go.
Bought my '08 D7 last March. Just turned 1300 miles on the clock and no issues so far. It's been a real good sled. Was real tempted to pick up an '09 because of the great season-ending deals on them. Still can't understand Poo's thinking on not making the 700 for next year.
I don't think you'll regret getting a 700, unless you're a real big feller. I'm right at 200 lbs. and it drags me around just fine. I came off an '05 800 RMK and the 700 runs just as strong as the old edge.
Good luck.

08 700 RMK, 3400 miles with no issues. Pull and go.
Polaris is shooting themselves in the foot again by not offering it for 2010. It might not have the balls that the 800 has but it is reliable and just as bulletproof as the 600HO.
C
had a 07 d7 with 3200 miles and no problems. Bought a new 09 700 and have 600 miles on it with no problems. Great sleds cant go wrong in my opinion.
Not an 09 but...
Problem with these sleds are they are too reliable
Got 1700 miles on my 08 D7 with no problems
750 miles on first belt and almost 1000 on the second belt and still going strong.
re geared it with a 19 tooth top gear,added a 2cool dash vent,Vortech rack and some Better Boards.
Buy one you will not regret it.
I'm right about 190- 200 give or take a couple
and it has enough power for me 99% of the time

anyone drop the top gear down to 18t? I've noticed in this thread several have said they put in 19t, but stock the sled is 19/41. I'm thinking 18/41 for my sled, any thoughts?

700 are good
3,000 mile of abuse and my 07 700 runs like a watch. And I have abused it. You will only spend money on it if you want to.
The 800's are over rated. A little more power and a lot more headaches.
The 600's are sweet machines also but not the hot setup for altitude.
