Now there's a rumor that Polaris and Bomby have some sort of product share agreement that COULD....

...put an etec in the Polaris chassis.
Also something to do with the RZR and Can-Am engines.

Pretty soon they will all be combined and we won't have a choice on what to ride....this folks is a trend away from a capitalistic economy toward a socialistic state ;)

I don't think it's a "rumor" just you because YOU posted it.



But wait.....This is one of the chosen few to ride the Axys last year before release. :face-icon-small-con

Simply amazing

Hate to be "that" guy, but what are the odds a stock OEM 850cc twin is going to push 180hp on PUMP fuel? Think about it...not likely. If Doo can pull it off, that'll be pretty damn impressive, considering that most 872's / 880's are in that range running wayyy better fuel.

Probably by upgrading injectors, evinrude has the gen 2 etec injectors that are supposed to atomize fuel better while still being able to flow the same amount of not more. Better atomization equals more power and better fuel economy. The injectors are the one thing nobody (as far as I know) have tried to modify. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
