Theres a sneaky suspicion the 1k will be in the XP chassis. Under 500lbs dry. Out around FEB.
My spider senses tell me that hymark860 has the right Idea, but it won't be the 1k that we are a custom to.
I hope they at least take the time to get the 1000 running good before they do that. If they are going to do it they will have a completely new motor.
WFO, There isn't any reason that a 1000 can't run good anymore. The 05 and 06 programming was totally messed up but the 07 is great now. I still think this motor has a lot more. Hopefully they bring it back even better. Now, if they could just install a decent fuel pump?
My prediction is they will get the 800 running right, clutching on and dial in the rest of the sled if it needs it. I think clutching is their biggest issue at this point and I hope they can dial it in. I am willing to work my clutches over to get it right, but need some guidance.
diamonddave, the '07 program works better but the motor is still too heavy.
They will probably wait a few years for everyone else to catch up in the weight department, then change it up again.

i think they will drop a 1000 in the xp chassie!!!
Anyone else think that might come out with a 900 to get more power but avoid the weight of a thousand. Maybee an 800 case with a little more stroke and bore??? Just a thought, being they are so with the weight issue i douldnt think that they would want to throw a 1000 in the xp.
A 600r motor making 130 hp. and weighing 500 pounds. Last year for the MachZ again.
forget about the 1000(heavy engine)! just bore out the 800 to 888!!!
something reliable and light in the xp to make a 1000.
Did any of you recieve the BRP marketing survey. Their were a number af question on it of my knowledge of e-tek. What is it anyway? I have heard of it but not exactly sure what it is.
e-tec is what BRP uses for fuel injection on their Evindrude outboards.... Supposedly even cleaner than a 4-stroke engine emmisions wise (i still don't get that)...

I'm with the others on the 1k... That is sure to come I think...

Apparently the direct injected 2-stroke outboards use virtually NO oil.
Take the 800R. make it a 900, inject it, add a thermostat and airflow meter (duh) so the ECM can adjust fuel mixture instead of predetermined values set by an engineer in a 72 degree room.
Fix the crank, bearing and clutch issue.
180HP
Watch out
Oh wait, this is BRP
