Dec 18th 2007, blew my 07 800r with 1800 km`s.
top end shot, reason by dealer....Unknown
Still waiting for it back, backordered parts....maybe thats telling me that there is a high demand for engine components? Could there possibly problems with the 800r engine.
Just some sarcasm with Brp. They are not my friend at the moment.

3 800 Doo Motors

07 XRS: Lost crank 100 mi., lost crank again at 700 mi.

05 summit 800: top end went at 1900 mi.- loose clamp on carb boot

00 Summit 700: 3500-4000 miles still going

No more Ski Doos for me unless something changes soon. Bought alot of belts and spent alot of money to get these sleds rideable, just to have them blow up and loose a month of riding every year.

94 Formula Z 583 - tore down at 8500 km's thinking it would be bad, still had cross hatch

02 Summit 800 - seized crank bearing at 1200 km's

• 98 summit-x rode it for 2 years, never a hitch, motor wise.
• 2000 Highmark 700. rode for 2 1/2 years, replaced pistons after 3000 miles, cylinders like new. rode for another 2 1/2 years, sold it to a friend, it is still going strong, I bet it has7000 miles on it now.
• 2005 rev 162. 3500 miles on it and it still runs like new. Did the typical rings at 1500 miles, and it looked like a new motor inside.

Slim, which sled had the big bore, the zx, or the Rev?? or both?

My zx has trail porting with crankshop pipes.

My rev has just trail porting.

I run FRESH premium fuel every ride.

My 670 x blew the odd belt.

My other sleds, I have never blown a belt. EVER!

I inspect every day I ride, and if it looks like it needs changing, it becomes my back up belt.

I agree that doo has to smarten up, and get their act together. Other than the usual, typical doo issues, like floppy boards, bad carb boots, flaking rings, etc, the sleds I had were good.

2003.5 Summit REV 800.. crank

 

[knee deep in it]

07 800r, crank gone , rods through the crankcase, complete write off.

 

[batoutahell]

my 08 burned down with 90 miles on it, it was a lean burn condition, he changed the needle and his opinion is that maybe the dpm is over adjusting for the high altitude.

I am picking it up today.

 

[rookie23]

[hiboost woody]

01. 1800 miles piston update (cracked) warranty. 2000 more miles added turbo and put wisco pistons in and put 3000 more miles and the crank bearings went. sold turbo and put in 950 BB and new crank. 2000 miles on this motor and no issues. so I guess I really haven't had any problems I didn't cause.

 

[DiVo]

2000 700 summit, 3000 miles always been perfect.

01 800 summit, 1700 miles nothing but problems, 1100$ est getting rebuilt in shop right now, rebuilt 3 times last year.

two 97 380 skandic's with probably 3000 miles both are perfect as well.

rented an 800r blew up on me last year also.
My buddies 03.5 600 blew up 3 times as well. He sold it and now is going after an IQ.
Another budy who raced his 440 had to rebuild that thing so much.

The 600's 440's and 800's seem to have alot of problems.
