I have a 2010 800 XP, off start up the first time you hit the throttle wide open and hold it, it hits 8000 then bounces down to about 7600 then back to 8000. And when i say bounce, its fast, the skis dont touch the snow wile its doing it. But if you let off and crack on it again it hits 8000 and holds no problem. It did this probably 4 times on sunday, and always off initial start. any ideas?:beer:

Can you actually hear the engine rpm drop when this happens or is it a guage issue? Is that all it rev's at? Should run at 8150 which is around 8200-8250 on the rpm guage. The difference between 8000 to 8200 on the guage is significant.....thats when the 800R comes alive.

Yes you can hear it on the engine, not sure on what helix, it was setup and clutched at Stojins in GP, it has a SPI y pipe, Pipe and can, was told with the pipe once you get over 8000 you start to lose power.
