Looks just like the snopros. (08-09) hmmmm. I have heard from an inside source there will be a cool new color out in 2010.....
F-8 in the Sno-pro chassis.
I've heard......................I'm sure this is merely urban myth but, maybe not?
The 800 will have the crank lightened by a substantial amount (smaller lobes) and the ECU will allow the engine to spin at 8,500-8,600 vs, 8,200 now. That with some mapping and other small changes put the 800 in the 160 hp range.
What I want to know is, will the ECU (computer) plug into earlier versions of the 800 so they can spin at 8,500 RPM?
Could maybe just a reflash of the computer be all that's needed to allow earlier engines to spin at the new RPM?

If your not worried about Warranty and can find the right dealer, you can get the Mythical M8 "Race Dept" re-flash, said to make the M8 really rip
So what, than we'll have an engine as reliable as the XP. No thanks, and I am guessing it's pure myth anyway. I could see them raising the running rpm to 8000-8200 but not 8500 and I am also guessing no way on the 160hp from the factory.

I have ported jugs/pipe, and see 8480 rpm quite a bit. My normal climbing power is made at just over 8200 but different loads sometimes get those R's spinning.
No reliability issues whatsoever. I had to realign the clutches as those hi R's would split the cogs, but now that they are dead on I have problems.

I also heard the 1000 will be history but, I didn't want to start the "urinary olympics" that come with making such a statement.
It makes sense though if the 800 will be making 162 hp (same as the 1000) but, there's still a whole lot more potential for 200+ hp out of a 1000 so keeping it might make sense too? Who knows?

They are going to spin the motor faster cause they lighten the crank. I am thinking that spinning a heavier crank (older) faster would not be a great idea. It might rip for a little while, but when it does come apart watch out. I really believe that was most of polaris's 800 crank problem. They were spinning that motor 8700-9000. Thats just way to fast for pistons and crank pieces that big. IMO

I don't remember any of the Polaris 800's spinning 8700-9000. My brother bought one new in 02 and it revved to about 8000.

Lightened bottom end, porting, higher compression, and a reprogrammed ECU. Good for 160hp. And that is the real story.
I'll believe when I see it
its a all new motor and it will be making 150 hp and the 1000 will still be around for another year
mid 90's sleds turned really high rpm's. that was before me but I have heard 9000 rpm plus
