Just wondering who out there has tried the drop in kit from RK TEK? How did you like it and how is reliability with their components? I have an '07 800 with an '09 motor. Also is the ECM program worthwile? Thanks

Do not go with it. I agree with the other guy go another way. I had nothing but problems.
The kit rocks, as far as reliability goes the best advise I can give is RUN GOOD FUEL. the crap 90 octane at the pump is not good enough even for a stock motor. Any mods and blending your fuel is a must if you want it to live.
thank you, If only more people thought this way.:canada:IMO, the newer high performance two stroke engines are seeing so many failures is because of poor fuel quality. Just look at all the piston issues that ski-doo,cat,polaris are having. Ring loctator pins, skirts breaking, pistons with cracks in them, all with under 2000 miles. I have seen 550 fan motors run for 10,000 miles. Tell me why an 800 can not do that, it sure is not manufacturing issues. At 150hp you need better than 91 octane if you want it to live.
The big issue is ethanol. If you can get non ethanol then 92 is fine. If you cant then you better blend or ride like a pu$$y!
92 ? you can buy 92 octane at the pump? Up here in alaska the best you can get is 90. just because the pump says supreme does not mean it 92 octane. I wish I could buy 92 at the pump, All I am saying is pay attention to the octane label on the pump you are using, our pumps are 85 , 89 , 90.
