I like the idea of the larger motor, V-Twin, and power steering, but all it really is at this point is another "ATV" that can't be ridden on MN's ATV trails (legally).

I would hope that AC and Polaris have their lobbyists working on getting this changed.

Ya, you are right, but even if it has to be registered as class 2, most of the trails accept class 2 atv's. It still would be a disadvantage though, wouldn't it?

I'd be putting money on it that the law will change to 900 cc by the time this thing hits the showroom.

On the other hand I notice that for 09 the Outty 800 actually lists their engine size. They have it marked at 799.99 cc's.

I had heard aboyt the power steering, rolled front A-arm suspension, etc.

I would like to see some better pictures of it. Athough I am now positive that when I was at the dealer begining of june this is what I saw getting unloaded covered with a sheet. The new rims are a dead giveaway.

I am undecided about the look of the new front end. Howevere I am happy to see they finally raised the radiator.

Once I can see and drive one of these I may have to get rid of my 2008, but only if I can use my tracks with the new model. I am itching for power steering in the winter.

It can't even be registered as a Class II at this point. They're (Class II's) even restricted to a displacement of 800cc.

Anything over the 800cc limit has to be registered as an OHV and can only be used in areas such as the Iron Range OHV trails and private property.

Looks like they're following Yamaha's footsteps with the P.S. and the rolled A-arms. The look of them are but-ugly to IMO. Wonder what the 850 will weight? Looks like dry weight is close to 800 lbs! Last wheeler on the ice for fishing! shocked It's about time they came out with a V-twin.

If the 100lb-150lb difference in weight means that you are the last on the ice it probably means the ice itself isn't that safe and you should still be walking.

Well, in that case, if you own a popo you will be walking anyhow! laugh

Yep sure will, all the way to the front/back of the machine to hook the winch up so I can help tow jltimm's machine. cool

Boy you really have a special kind of hatred for Polaris don't you? I used to think the same way years ago but they have come quite a long ways in a few short years, that's for sure. Besides I've been pulled out of a few mud holes by Polaris’s, that heavy weight can be your friend! laugh

When I heard they were coming out with an 850 I thought they'd put it in a renegade type utility, kind of a new scrambler with 4x4. That announcement might be coming later though. It's kind of weird seeing a Polaris without the McPherson struts. I thought those were the reason the Polaris rode so good.

What is selling me is the power to weight ratio and finally getting rid of the struts. I knew that was coming because the agreement with McPherson is up.

Finally a machine you can take from the dealer to the trails without having to buy anything aftermarket. (well maybe tires smile )

So what aftermarket stuff should I be adding to my 2008 800 popo besides the tires???

Thanks

The way it looks, you don't need anything more (is there anything? smile ) than what you have.

What I meant by that is the suspension, tires, and powerplant are trail ready compared to other models. Now if the price tag will be under an Outty??????

The main things Polaris lacked IMO was sportier suspension, and more power (V-twin) for their weight. 11.1 compression, wow!! I wonder if premium will be a must.

I guess I should have been more specific grin. It's time to open the barn doors and let some more horses out crazycool. With running the Mattracks in the winter I do lose a little. Not sure on the 27" ITP's.

Typo or misinformation, one of the two. It's NOT a V. It may appear that way because the motor sits in the chassis inline instead of the tradtional way. The clutches sit behind the inline twin at a right angle to the way they were located on a traditional Polaris ATV. The clutches are behind the engine under the seat area instead of in the left footwell area.

It's not a V, and it's not a even firing parallel twin like the 760 right? But yet it also shows dual throttle bodies and +-20 more HP than the 760......Will be nice to have correct info here real soon.

The spec. sheet from the previous page is wrong, as I mentioned before, either a mis-print or they obtained the wrong information. The 850 is NOT a V-twin it IS an inline and it is Not an even fireing or parrallel fireing twin like the old 800's are. Each cylinder strokes and fires opposite. It is a completely new engine for Polaris. Again for those who are still in question.......It is not a V. smile

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
