07 XRS Resurrection Short Block + 860

[Maverick800XRS]

Hi all,

So the summer is rolling around and time for me to bring the XRS back to life. Currently what i have is a 07 800R with a cracked case but everything else seems to be ok, i also have no Fawking idea what bolts are from where or what or who or why cause Bow Cycle South decided to rip it apart then just throw everything into a tupperware container... (they stripped it down to see if i could get warranty on the motor, unfortunately it just ended up costing me a bunch of money for someone to make a mess of everything!) So what i have is NOTHING! not sure if i can get any $ for the jugs or the crank but would be nice, maybe someone needs motor fasteners

I need to find a place that's selling 800R short blocks for a decent price, also will be requiring an RK-TEK 860 BB kit, there is on place in Edson called (Riders) that has both and would even install the kit on the shortblock for me (for a cost of course). All the work needed to put the motor in the sled and everything else i will do, just need the parts!!! So heres a break down of what i know so far.

800R Short Block for 07 motor mounts - $1,769.00
Core Charge (since my case is done) - $700.00
RK-TEK 860 BB - $3,300.00
860 Install (3.5hrs) - $350.00
Total - $6,119.00

Also the guy that i was talking to (Justin) frequently visits Red Deer so he could meet me there with it and i could drive up from Calgary to pick it up.

I also talked with Kelsey from RK-TEK about him buying a new motor down there and installing the 860 at his shop, short block was about the same but his kit was about 50% cheaper, then i would need to worry about shipping and all that junk...

Really im just trying to find the best way to get a motor back in my sled but would really like an 860. Im not set on a RK 860 kit but have heard great things, also Kelsey is a great dood and very helpful. I might give him a call back and see if we can work something out if i get him to buy a motor and do it for me.

Would be nice to have a pump gas kit as well, not even sure if the RK-Tek kit is pump gas?

Any thoughts or ideas anything at all would be greatly appreciated !!! still lots of time this summer for the revival but want to get a head start on parts!

Thanks in advance !

Huh Larry. If I recall right I was leading the pack down and was first. Then some azzhat went into a creek crossing that was 2 speed wide. So then I ask who needs a 600.

I can supply you with the parts you require and my price on the rktek stuff is alot better than that.

as i recall ya screwed the trail up and left me with nothin but a hole ya big turkey, and then i decided to go fishin instead, seems every time you lead you f ^p the trail sleddin or quaddin, then no one can get through, you are relegated to the back of the line.
