Looking for honest reviews of the 850 motor.
I’ve had limited time on an 850, at 2000-3000 ft with re-map and was very disappointed. The 850 seemed to have low end grunt and then fell on its face.
My friends, and a lot of others seem brain washed that these motors work better, so I’m wondering if it’s just me?
I feel that my 17 800 with 1400 miles felt much quicker, and had more legs up top. I have an SLP pipe / pink green spring and 10-72’s and the thing works great. Crisp throttle response and a violent powerband, never a hiccup.
I honestly think the 800 motor works much better.
However, there are only three 850’s in my crew, so wondering if they just all got unlucky... they all have running issues (fouling plugs/ bogging) and 1 has been rebuilt.
Any honest review appreciated....
