| according to my dealer the excessive oil use of 1 qt /180 miles might have put me over the threshold.
I told him if it was to be rebuilt I'm getting the DFR cannister and they can put in on to avoid any warranty issues. Seems like the DFR cannister, 09 boot and the new air vent between the seats is the fix.
Hopefully I will have my baby back soon - he said two weeks we shall see | |

| Man that just sucks , I really want a RZR but these issues make me wonder . I really see no need in the 800 which keeps failing when the 700 did not have these issues , scrap the 800 and put the 850 in the rzr and the 700 back in the sportsman . | |

| Finally confirmed, apparently was worse than I thought- 1 cylinder had 18% leak down the other was at 30%. The valve seats were grooved.
New cylinder, rings, head, valves and valv seats. under warranty =yeah!
Purchased 2009 boot, Dragonfire airbox and Holzt airbox intake + clutch seal cover
Hopefully this will solve the issue once and for all. | |

| I just want to ride, was hoping to get some riding in this weekend but it doesn't look good.
Will I have to do a break in period again or can I ride it like i stole it?
Got the idea for the Dragonfire, boot and new air intake from Bobby D and GETERDUN -that is why I like this site so much | |

That is the way I break in everything I own! +1 on that, heat it up and cool it down a few times, then run it hard. | |

| Dragonfire, 2009 boot and Holz air intake (bigger between the seats) should hopefully solve the dust problem once and for all.
The mechanic said based on the tests and grooves in the valves it should have run much rougher, but was only noticeable when you stomped on it. | |

| The hold up is usually one part being on back order from my experience.To do the actual work it only takes about 4 hours max. | |
