Polaris said they will not release a new motor and a new chassis together ever again. The 800 switchback states its the same motor in the specs...... would polaris offer a new 800 in the rmk and rush? They were out last year and being they are 800s again they are not new sled and doo never full lined the etec the first year either..... Im thinking there is a possibility there is a new 800 this year, if not next year for sure. And stating never having a new chassis and motor in the same year would prove why there is no DI 600, if they made a DI 800 work a DI 600 would be a cake walk to make reliable instead of going from a 600 to a 800 and having problems.
I worked at a manufacturing plan in the engineering Department, A company as big as polaris will have multiple departments working on current model improvements, current motor improvements, and a future model and motor department.
My guess is the department that designed the 08 800 ****ed up, people were moved and another department has been trying to fix it for the last 4 years and a new motor has been in R and D since 09.
