Yamaha said they gaurentee it will make atleast 180 hp up to 10,00 feet. The 204hp was the preproductions sleds. Production sleds are around 181 hp.
Cat claims 200+

D&D saw 205.9 on their Dyno. Dynotech Research was 209. I think it is safe to say they are 200 plus.
This is on the Arctic Cat version of the sled.

~60lbs more than an M8

In 2012 the 1100 to the 800 was 95lbs so that's a pretty good drop. Most due to the weight difference of the motors.
With the 36" front and dropped skid, will this heavy beast sidehill like the 2014/15 M8000?

Just a question, where did you see this. I have been trying to find a curb weight with no luck.

A Viper weights 615lbs stock, and full of fuel. I would expect the King Cat is a little more with the additional cooling, turbo, and intercooler.
As for the horsepower claims, ask the 800etec guys how 3rd party dyno claims go...

I am wondering because I heard the King Cat was 45 lbs heavier, just hoping it is not.

I was thinking exactly the same, and all this time they were saying how strong it felt. Wonder if it feels less powerful now

I don't remember.
I think it was a wet weight of around 615.
Maybe it was a Viper MTX?
The 800 wet is close to 550.
That is 65lbs.

At the sled show this weekend there was a King Cat on display. According to the decal on the back tunnel weight was listed at 280kg. There was also a 2017 MC 162" non-electric start there and the same decal listed it at 254kg. 26kg is about 57lbs and that is a non-electric start 2 stroke. Given that sticker represents legal information on the sled one would think there is some truth to that.
