Anyone have over 3000 miles on their 800 motors without catastrophic failure?
CFI 800 3000+ mile report
- Thread starter njk4o5
- Start date
4035 miles and 3400 miles on two 2011 Pros with zero issues of any kind.
By far the best sleds we have ever owned, been riding for 31 years.
Did the 2012 motor mount upgrade and just did the Napa fuel filter change out on both sleds. Also just replaced the primary clutch on mine even though the old one was still going strong.
Love these sleds.

My 13 isn't there yet but it won't be long.
I saw a 12 at my dealer the other day that they had took on trade with 3400 miles on it. They pulled the head to inspect as everything was fine. Sorry no pics. Never thought of it at the time but service manager said it was fine and as far as I could tell there were no signs to lead me otherwise

It's a 2011 with 2012 side panels and seat and 2013 running boards.

ah i see, same motor either way! glad you got some miles out of it. I have 5007 miles on my iq 700. still good compression and no scuffs or blow by markings looking in exhaust valve ports
Still have 120 lbs compression on both cylinders, pistons look good, I'm going to run it one more season with this top end.
Over 3100 on my 09 800, never a problem. I hope to get a few more years out of it.

Wow. I have honestly never seen an 08-09 cfi 800 go over 3000 miles with no problems. You are lucky

~3600 miles on an '11 Pro. RKtek Pistons at 2500. Zero issues.
Had 6012 miles on my 12 awesome sled zero issues
Had 4532 miles on my 13 when it grenaded.

I ride sleds for a job in the winter. I average 120 riding days a year...so yeah myy daily driver
Mine took a massive sh$t at 3100 resulting in a new bottem end from polaris. The primary and stub end snapped off at the case. Otherwise the sled now has 3700 and 120 psi each hole......however it is coming apart for a little freshening up
My 08 800 dragon now has 4300 miles on it. Factory warranty updates (top end I believe) were done at 3000 miles but sled has never given me any problems. I snowchecked it in 07. 3400 miles at the end of 2010 when I snowchecked a pro..wife has ridden it ever since.
It seems this thread contradicts your expertise.
