Good choice, let us know how you like it.

That would have been my second choice of new sled. Nice sled!

If I had to buy a new sled this year and wasn't brainwashed by 4 strokes, I think that would be the one I'd get. Good luck!

I drift every once in a while but resale keeps me on the yamaha.......

Nice choice, one of my friends has the assault snochecked as well this year. He is a Polaris die hard. This year I may see if I can get him on my 4-stroke for a test ride, i could also try the Assault.

Was looking to see if the Assault will be a contender (to the xtx)? I can't find any good solid HP numbers on it.

 

[thetruck454]

From what I have read the polaris 800 is a solid 154 hp motor.

It was until this year from what I have been reading. Several sites and magazines put it in the low 140s'. Seems low but it is from more then one source.

If the new Polaris is as tough as the 2003 xc I had...
Plug and play dude.
The only thing I did to my xc in 5 years was shock rebuild, and exhuast valve updates and a few blown belts.

Polaris rates it at 150. But, it's not.... I just seen the dynotech session for the 2011 800 and without a PCV, it is still 142.

Pretty hard on fuel and oil too from what I've read. Sweet chassis and suspension, and I think its probably the best looking sled out there too. But I don't trust their motors yet.

My buddy's dad runs the dyno at the Osceola plant. I don't hear anything good about any of the new motors. But that older 600 carb is pretty tough!

ya I sno checked it before I heard the dyno, but I bought the chassis not the motor, should be a fun sled! I just wish Totallyamaha would extend to totallypolaris!
