2006 600HO,are the cylinders nickasil coated?

[crowsfeet]

hey guys,so today I decided to tackle the top end in my wifes 06 switchback 600. Well I had always thought I' d heard that polaris didn't coat their 600 jugs until 2007. Now with the top end all pulled apart I wonder if that's true or not.These cylinders look flawless after 4500 miles,the pistons are a little pitted,and the compression was down to 85. This is the first time i've replaced pistons but there seems to be tons of info on youtube so I'm feeling confident. Anyways the big question is about honing, non coated cylinders hone with 270 , nickasil hone lightly with 320? Any help would be awesome

I can't comment on what hone to use but 600 cylinders have been nicasiled since the liberty engines came out in 1998.
