2001 Xc 800 Questions

 I have a friend looking at a 2001 Xc 800 limted to buy for trail riding & was wondering if anybody could give me some feedback on any issues with this sled or motor& or upgrades. Its a very clean sled with only 1200 miles on it. Its not bargain priced but I'm mostly concerned about motor issues if any. Thanks MMR

Re: 2000 Xc 800 Questions

No such thing as a 2000 xc800. Sounds like a 2001 XC800 Limited edition (LE)..? It was blue and had a M-10 rear skid. For trail use, the Non-ves 800 is pretty bullet proof IMO. Vibration Is hard on clutches and a wobbly clutch is hard on crank bearings.

Re: 2000 Xc 800 Questions

 Yes your right its a 2001. So I corrected my above post & its just as you described, Blue w/M-10. We just picked it up this am & got it home. Seems real spunky out of the gates but sorta flat in the Mid range. Gonna check the carbs & clean them. A saw where there were posts on jetting down from the 460mj stock to 430's--- good idea or risky ? We will probably clutch it for the trail, any info on that would be appreciated. I'm assuming at this point were dealing with a pure stock sled. Thanks MMR

Not familiar with the LE, but I think 430's may be a little low. Stock clutching should be almond primary, 10-64's, polaris roller sec. with R12 and a silver/blue. I'd try something like 10-66's with a new almond spring, and a new silver/blue spring for the secondary as a starting point.

For what its worth the SLp pipe worked quite well on the 01 800 non ves engine giving it a healthy mid range boost.

Re: 2000 Xc 800 Questions

 Thanks for the info so far guys. I've been searching various forums for info.What I've come up with so far is jet it with 440s, AS 1/3/4 turns & Needle in center slot. 10-66 wts Almond Blue Drive Sp, Polaris Blue Orange driven sp ( not sure what hole ????  )   & poss take a tooth off the top gear. Any other of different thoughts would be appreciated. Happy Turkey Day ! MMR

I don't think you need to go to the stiff blue/orange sec spring, unless you also put in a more aggressive helix. A fresh silver/blue should IMO be enough. Anyone..?
