    changing out rails

    If you really want to got with a inside wheel kit, i'd go with a 3 wheel instead of 2. I've seen broken wheels before, and it's pretty hard to ride out with only 1 wheel. Also i'd stay with the stock wheels, aluminum ones tend to ice up sometimes.

    How many kms r u getting on stock 800r?

    On my 08 at 5000km I put a new top end in, and at close too 8000kms new bottom end crank was going.Now with close to 10 000kms and still going strong I'd first check your compression and your crank runout and see where it is at.

    XP Primary Noises

    Puck board, j bing some sort of plastic, etc are just band aids. They help but you need to do more. Make a L bracket from the toe hole and rivot or bolt to the side of the belly like in the pic. 4year of riding and no hole yet. Plus if you flop it on its side kill the motor. Amazing how many...

    Handle Bar vibration

    I bet it is your crank, my 08 was way out of spec with 7500kms + on it (it shooked like hell). Way smoother now with the new crank in.

    08 xp 800r no spark after rebuild

    If you pulled the motor out, I'd check the wires that you had to pull out of the clip behind the chaincase and make sure you put them the right way. I had the same problem, the two wires pushed out when I put the clip back together.

    Chain tensioner

    I guess i'm doing good at replacing them around every 3500 or every season. This last chain lasted maybe 1200km and I checked the tension the night before, but it was a low priced chain they brought in. Seemed really cheap too me.

    Chain tensioner

    Consider yourself lucky thats all it did and not blown out the chain case. I'd say your looking more around $200 +- for parts. Average 90 to 150 for the chain 50 for the top gear and whatever for the tensioner. Few tools and do it yourself. I just blew my whole case up and quoted 970 for parts...

    08 XP supension

    update your rear skid to the 2010 or if you really like to get the front end down more get a timbersled skid, pull the riser back to almost inline of your steering post (don't run then straight up), maybe soften up the front shocks abit. Plus I would get some slp powder pro skis down the road...

But before the new top end went in I was at 120 cold and 115 hot, starting to get alittle low I need ring but did the pistons too...

With all the extra air coming in when I had stock jetting (480 I think they are) still in and needle seting my egt's would easy be 1300 plus once it got up to 1650. Super lean in the mid range. Now with 500's in and .20 shims I havent seen any hotter than 1300...

    Fuel Guage or Sender

    Yup another great BRP design, just rider till she dies or track your km's. I got a pretty good idea when it's time to put the extra fuel in. I wish they would have done a sight tube instead of this dumb gauge that never reads right...

    800R "bog" in midrange

    X2, sounds like the clutch needs cleaning and at the same time do the rave valves too. Most of the time it's those two.
