Information 800 XP

I am new to this site and have been a ski- doo fan since 1996, have a new 2013 800XM and love it. My son has a 2008 XP 800 with 8000 plus kilometers, cooked a piston on the weekend. What is the best way to go with New engine, rebuilt long block, or re piston old block?

Hello,
New member here. I am from the Chitcago area and have been sledding for the past 5 years (used to sled in mid 80's but new job and marriage changed all that). I currently own 2 sleds, a Polaris fusion 900 and a Ski Doo MXZ 600, that I picked up used.
Unfortunately both are under repair, the Polaris needed new rear suspension and track and the Ski Doo has a warped head cover, which I learned of AFTER my teenage son ran it dry on coolant and brought it to my attention when the motor would only idle and stalled upon acceleration. Just rec'd the 'new'(used from E-tay) cover.
Getting my butt back in gear to get them fixed since the BIG storm is coming. I've been watching the forum on this site for some time and am impressed with the input from its knowledgeable members.
Looking forward to posting and getting some input on repairs.

NEW/OLD MEMBER

HI, I'm Motodad383. Just became a premium member earlier this year, but been on here for awhile. I live north of Duluth, MN. and I am loyal to Polaris, no matter how many engines have failed me in the last year. Ride a 2010 Assault, soon to be traded on a 2014 Assault. My son rides a 2011 pro 800. And we have the ever faithfull 06 600 switchback. Spent 10yrs hauling my son around the state to race MX. As he got older I started taking him out west to ride, and now don't even care to ride back home. Been riding since 1971 and am proud to have put my son on a kitty cat in 1993 at 2yrs. old. We've been riding together ever since. What a great sport! Thanks for reading, see you in the POWDER!

[SwedenPro]

Hi, I'm from up north in Norway, above the Arctic Circle, but I live in Sweden, been here for 12 years, I have just bought a -14 RMK800, was planning on a Pro, but after the information I've gathered here I ended up with a non Pro... I've been a Yamaha rider for most of my life, had a quick date with AC in -95, but went back to Yamaha, haven't even sat on the RMK before I got it, last Poo I have driven was an -88 Indy Trail, but I guess things have changed since then....
I'm still waiting for the snow as most of the members here do...

It's been a long time.

Hello. Name is Matt and live in Seattle area and work where they make big things that fly. Have a big family that i'd like to share the sport with. The last time I did a lot of riding was 1979 and 80 in my early twenty's. Those machines were early mid 70's Artic cats and a friend bought a new 1980 Yamaha water-cooled machine that we tried to top out up on Table Mtn. It was a blast then but it looks like the machines are a little better now?
I'm trying to figure out the advantage of long track like 162 that take more power to run and are heavier but have a good footprint for traction vs. shorter track and more maneuverable for mountain sleds. Love the ability to run in deep snow but what's the best way to go?

Thanks Christopher for the nice introduction!

I am waiting for the snow to fly here in Pennsylvania. I have been snowmobiling since 1970. This sport comes in second, riding my motorcycle would come first.
