This will be my third summer on the 800...

I have not done any major Modifications like some here, but when something breaks, I try to fix it right. I have done some of the performance mods like lower gears, exhaust, jetting, axles, strapped shocks etc. Mostly with advice from members here.

I just finished running a short 10 guage wire from the winch to the ignition and bypassing the smaller original ignition wire. It made a huge difference, started right up. I also moved the vacuum hose to the secondary jet, which opens the secondaries up sooner. It now revs faster than it used to.
Thanks to everyone for the advise.

I keep expecting the worst to happen from this 4000.00 chinese built machine, but I am always happily suprised! Laughing

This is my third summer, and it runs better and stronger than when I originally bought it, thanks to many memebers here.

I am hoping everyone has a great summer of riding ahead of them Twisted Evil

Thanks again to everyone who has helped me and others...and making this a great site Laughing

Chris

I GOTTA SAY THANX TOO.
I HAD NOT BEEN ON ANY TYPE OF MACHINE(BESIDES JETSKI'S) SINCE I WAS 17... I'M 38 NOW.
EVEN THEN ... I DID'NT WORK ON'EM ... MY BROTHER & FRIENDS DID. I JUST GOOFED AROUND & STARED AT THEIR GIRLFRINDS.
YOU GUYS HAVE HELPED ME OUT ON MANY THINGS SO FAR & HOPEFULLY SOOOOO MUCH MORE. I'M "STILL" A SAVANT AT MECHANICS & I HAVE FAIRLY BAD LUCK ON PURCHASES. Rolling Eyes
"THAT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! Laughing

THANX FOR THE OUTLET TO "VENT " & "TO BE EDUCATED" !

Glad you find the site so helpful, Chris. You are one of the first 800 owners on here and you've probably dished out more help than you've taken and for that I thank YOU.

With my upmost agreeance and thanks to "Buggynews" and especially Chris & mike "slimefink". When prior to purchasing my 800cc in Jan. 2006. I ventured through many of sites looking for any info on this pretty much rare buggy. Every time something popped up Chris would somehow be involved in that post with helpful info.

thanks again to all

Joe

Hey Chris,
and thanks to you as well. You are always the "VOR" (voice of reason) when things get in an uproar. Though I no longer have my 800, this site has been a lot of help to me as well.

I'll see you guys down in the dirt....mick

IN MY "TACKHAMMER HITTING" COMMENT, A FEW BEFORE THIS ONE ... I SHOULD HAVE PUT "SHADY" IN FRONT OF THE WORD DEALERS... NO OFFENSE TO THE GOOD ONES.
