they went to a high-compression H.O. motor for '10. The only other thing they changed as far as the engine goes is adding a lightweight crank to save on some weight.
Um...Almost as funny as my first reply.
The real answer - New exhaust pipe, manifold, resonator and lightweight crankshaft.
Green kool aid
Thinking about riding my '08 M8 another year and just upgrading with new muffler bearings. Anyone use the KaleCos?

A friend has their kick-*** adjustable powerbands on his M and loves them.

They added blinkers, and put in some high performance blinker fluid, then they added a kevlar muffler belt, and lubed up the throttle cable, and added a turbo to all of their 2 stroke sleds with an 8 year full coverage warranty.
Jk, Lightweight crank, newly designed pistons, all new exhaust system, and some other stuff.

it was more than the lw crank, i thought the cylinders had different portting as well..
New reeds, Double flow type, Lighter crank, Kinda pork choppy like the 900 Polaris, Hope it balances out well? Different porting, compression, and redesigned pistons. Y pipe like aftermarket and Pipe to go with. New mapping and injectors what else could you ask for "Reliability" The engine that was tested was a prototype, Probably put together by hand, Basically blueprinted! On average I would guess 158 BHP. That should get ya down the trail in a whiskers length of any other 800!

so what it'll do fur ya
after talking to several test riders............the real plus is the lighter crank letting the egine pick rev's faster which gets the sled up on the powder snow faster. More hp is good and ok..........but some of the big hp slow rev'n sleds are real poor for jumping up on the loose snow.
That's the one draw back to all the current 4 strokes....170 hp is good and 240 is more hp. but a 240 hp trench is still a trench.

The cliff notes version - It's all new from the crank up.
Lest we not forget - Been hearing good things about the ported Diamond Drive.

Man saberkitty you have some stellar info. Somebody asks for some info on something new and nothing but sarcasm from you. Now I know that he could've went to the search engine and brought up this exact topic and been far better off than the info you gave. wtf. grow up.

The new engine rips . . Vohk says the new larger fuel injectors will allow for more boost in the new RTR's They have a new non-restrictive Y-pipe. The new seat is a POS. We had a large dude in the group from texas that was spending alot of time sitting on the back of it, and smashed the seat down. Plus it's just plain ugly IMO. I am very impressed with the 2010 M's, enough to prompt me to jump ship again
Its fairly obvious that you have never ridden a 240 hp trencher for any length of time.
,where all the other N/A sleds are digging out the boosted sleds are just getting on the power(no need up to that point). I had the nytro with all the trimmings I got stuck once in 2700 kms(I hit the kill switch accidentally).Try one before you bash one. I am looking to go to a lighter sled,the money spent on the nytrostill only got it down to 595 full. I think a T-1000 on ave gas with a twisted turbo will make 290 hp and I can get that down to about 535 when I'm done 
It was tangerines... talk about misinformation. Some people on here...
