I guess I am not to worried because you lucky bastards in Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana will be runnin your updated sleds before me so you can keep me posted on how they are running. My dealer said he was getting 2 kits a week shipped and had 13 sleds waiting so I dropped mine off last week. I think I am going to call and tell them I want the old parts back!
they are included..it is all 08 and 09 800 cfi engines from polaris....
I doubt they will let you keep any of the old parts as they will have to be turned back in to Polaris. At least I assume that is how it works. I'm with you on letting the people out west be the guinea pigs. I have access to aftermarket twin ring pistons, fuel controllers and I could get the stock head modded. So if it doesn't perform I may just do this my way.

Polaris wants all the parts back so when scrap prices go back up they can bring it in and not lose there a$$'s completly on this update.

Correct, called and was advised old parts had to be shipped back to Polaris. I decided to say screw it and get it done but hope it doesn't turn out to be a mistake since mine was runnin like a champ with just the midrange bog. I can't believe they are only going to warranty them until January.......WTF? Should be for mileage rather than a few months. Big Bore will be calling my name if anything happens but don't really have the $ for that either. Crossin my finger they got it right!

I pick up mine from the dealer today.... They want to charge me $240 for the Pure Polaris aftermarket SLP can....
Saw on another post someone using an automotive fuel filter (larger capacity) on these sleds, anybody got a part #? Also do you know if they have the same flow rate/restriction etc, or will changing to this type of filter cause more issues?
S
Skibreeze is using the Ford filter. He's got the part# in the post. Do a search and you'll find the details.

I'm hopin it turns out well. They are changing the cylinders and pistons and changing the compression from the stock 13+ to one compression to 11.5 to 1. This along with a new flash. I don't imagine losing that much compression is gonna be good on the hill or good for response and launch at sea level.
any ford fuel filter will work..injection isnt picky about too free flowing(which is what it would be since the filter has to have about 400% more filter area then the stock one....) try 1 off a 87 ford 1/2 ton with a 302..

Super B, what did you end up paying for the can, seems like conflicting prices with different dealers.
S
I ended up paying $200 for the aftermarket SLP can.
D
Are they charging all the owners for the SLP can even if the sled is still in factory warranty? I could maybe see it for an 08 that is out of warranty but not on a 09.
S
If you have an RMK that is used both in low elevations, and high, you should change your can to either the new factory (short track) can with a charge of $125 or opt for the aftermarket SLP. My dealer gave me a "deal" on the aftermarket SLP can. I do have a '09 D8 155".
what are they considering low elevations up to.... 6000'?
S
My guess would be anything below 2000 ft...
G
I really do not want to give up my hps can. I wonder will it do any harm in keeping it on there? I can just put the stock can back on if it needs to go back in for warranty. Anyone else that rides at low elevation keeping their hps?
