Why does everyone keep saying it has 10hp behind the E-tech? Everywhere I've read it says that both the E-tech and Pro RMK has "150+".
What would you change on your 800 Pro??

The true Hp #'s are Pro 152Hp and Etech 161hp
The Pro puts it's slightly less Hp to the snow very well. I've ridden with Etechs and both sleds with same rider on them, are so close it's ridiculous. If the Pro came out of the crate with the 162Hp like the Etech, the Pro would clearly out shine it. As it stands from what I've personally witnessed, it's pretty much a dead heat. It all comes down to weight and skill of rider. Myself being 6'4 over 220lbs, I need a factory turbo option.
It's a great sled out of the box. I'm no mountain riding expert but it has been excellent for me so far.
Here are a few improvements:
1. Tether instead of kill switch. I know I can probably buy one to install, but that doesn't eliminate the kill switch that I hit too often.
2. More ergonomic control switches. I like the Pro bars better than the regular RMK bars for looks, but I do prefer the controls mounted on the bars where I can feel them instead of having to look for them.
3. Offer color choices. I know, that makes inventory more difficult. But still, I'd rather have had a blue one.
4. Improve how the hood opens.
5. Fix the glitches with wires rubbing and oil line bubbles/kinks, etc.
Thanks Polaris!

Here's a new one after my ride yesterday.
- A throttle body that doesn't stick in tons of powder and cold temps. Very dangerous and hard to control your sled when the throttle is sticking while moving through the trees in 3' of powder all while side hilling.
