chevron supreme plus is the only fuel in bc, not ran through the pipe line. its trucked in from the coast. lower sulphur content.
I didn't have a sled that required it this year.....last year I ran a 14:1 Cudney head on the 800r and I ran 30:70 LL100
remium. Every time I bought LL100 it was about 25c a litre more than premium.DRD just bought some e few weeks ago.....I'll PM him.
09 upgrade
Interesting topic. Looking at checking an 09 xp currently have 08 xp 154 had share of problems etc. Anyway what where who how? can one get hold of 885 kit who builds them? how much$ Pherhaps its worth it too get one put in 08 instead of going 09 if price point the same. Any info on price reliability etc appreciated.

Ya its actually cheaper than premium in revy ($1.42 last sunday!!). Had a slip tank full last year ran out and just never bothered to get more.

That topic is on this 4m. Ralph @ Split Second (Valleyview Alberta) 780-524-4330. $2500 plus labor for the kit. Tell him Marcel told you to phone him. Ralphy does top notch work, he has built several (too many) lol
different motors for me. If you do it make sure you purchase from your dealer adjustable needles from the 07 model, start with the clip in the centre position. I have seen 6 or so of these & don't know of any issues once that tune is done. 
Contact Fred W on here or Brotha Nos. They are both running them & are both happy

180ish hp with 07 needles and correct fuel? thanks guys. i'll have to print this out as directions! lol
Don't know where you get the 180ish from?? The 885 might be 160-165 Real hp... As for the directions I don't understand what you mean????
Oh, I got it from some other 885 users on here. NM the directions.....
well two years latter and it time to reply,
yes still running the 885, 2500miles on xp chasie, and lovin ever mile of it
chassie has stood up to every tree, pinecone, rollover, and so on.... i have never torchered a sled like this one before, and still riding it after the second year
as for the motor i think, you could not get a better running engine, the tq of the 885 dominates all others in xps by a margin, and makes the sled ever so much fun, as for max power, i have still not dyno yet, but will happen soon, i would guess a 170-175 range, and that like sheriff says, real hp, not the stuff quoted on the websites
if one thing i have learned over the few years with this sled, is that fuel quality is a must, bite the bullet, and get some race fuel, add 1/3 and see most problems be gone... one year i ran all farm dyed 87fuel and it ran ok with 13.5 to one, till i let a guy fill my sled, with ethanal, then squeaked
other big benifit i just found out has been the track, the tq this motor makes, the big track just compliments the motor, and cluching is so easy, other bbs cannot run this weight for a reason, and weiscos hold up sweet
