Might sound like a dumb question. I really want a new Pro, but am wondering if polaris has this 800 fuelly finally figured out. Would like some input from the guys that have some miles on this baby. I am currently riding an old edge rmk and would really like to upgrade. What do you guys think about this engine, is it going to be reliable?
Is Polaris's 2011 800 going to run?

i'm just over 200 miles on mine and it hasn't missed a beat, have pulled my plugs and checked the wash and all looks great.
I have 200 miles on mine hasnt missed a beat a fun sled to ride
ran 800 60 miles yesterday in the type of riding that would have cooked a 08-10 dragon. The pro ran perfectly with no apparant lean areas or stumbles or anything. It might need a turbo or something for more power but I actually was impressed with what it was able to do with the power it had.
Just curious - did you read ALL of the posts on here before starting a new thread? Look at the posts for the last month - can't get much better reports than those.
have three with 200 miles or more on all of them and not one problem so far.
Local Arctic Cat dealer in this area is telling its customers that the new (2011) poo 800s are having the same trouble as the 08-10s I was wondering how he would know that but it still makes me curious.
Sounds like he's trying not to lose customers to Polaris... I have not read 1 post or heard about any kind of mid-range stutter. I'll be getting on mine for the first time this weekend, can't wait!

Maybe he's telling you that 'cause he's a CAT dealer & wants you to buy a Cat?
Also, it helps him in general to promote his brand and discredit others... 
My 10-d8 and my pro are both working great this year, the pro stuttered once in the first hour but has been flawless since then and getting better.
I don't get the question...
Do you think we would all buy this sled thinking it wouldn't run? We all said, "what the hell, let's buy a crappy sled!". And...all of this because people said so on the 4M.

let me know where those 60 miles are i want to avoid that spot cuz i have an 09 with over 2500 hundred miles with no problems and i dont want to run into that terrain if it will cook my sled
WTH are you talking about? How did that relate to my post?
These threads and posts make me realize that we need more snow, too much time on the puter, not enough on those crappy ProRMK's Sounds like he just doesn't want to buy it because Polaris said it works like many others did.
Don't know what you can't understand? Polaris's 800 has been troublesome since its return in 08. I wanted some input from guys that have some time on the 2011s and how they feel about it so far. Pretty simple I think.
It seems as if we have all had it studder a couple times early in the break in. or close too. Mine did cut out a couple time when it had less then 75 miles. I have road about 200 and and other then those couple times it has ran awsome. went on a ride today in 5 feet of powder the cats seemed to get a powder bog a bit but the pro didnt miss a beat. Great Sled so far very happy with the purchase.
