had a 2006 brand new, it got lost in a wreck sadly. got a 2008, orange madness. Still truckin along all these years later. both were great machines, I do all my own maint and repair. had the ecm recall performed, lost a few cv boots along the way, the electrical output is not that great and the ecm pulls a lot of power key off so the battery can be an issue. sorry yours has been problematic. when the battery dies a bunch the ecm loses the keep alive memory. and the electric fan relays are sometimes a problem that I rectified with a new harness I made while watching Monday Night Football. You have a goregous view property and great taste in tractors, pickups, and watches, too. Best wishes on a long life moving foward! Tijuana looks great this time of year!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Life has been a long road and since my transplant I’ve been making the most out of every day. Check out my new video I posted today. Thanks again!!!
@@govtfunded I was 20 yoa and a police officer in south Florida when the grand nationals came out. We chased so many of them because they were so easy to steal by simply “chipping” the steering column. The GN would walk away from our patrol cars like no other. Unfortunately, most of them crashed due to the inexperienced, teenage driver! Thanks again for watching. Stay tuned for more stupidly. Oh, by the way, I don’t really have that bubba Gump accent.
@Gardens144 yeah. My 3 theories are: 1. Lack of factory quality control inspections 2. Some are better maintained than other 3. Some abuse there's more than others.
Well , that's just wonderful , I just bought one , same year exact model ! Does run but not well.. got such a good deal for it I couldn't walk away... But , will upgrade an do whatever needs doing to make it reliable..
What bad guy just said there I actually rode the exact same quad just a different year my bosses friends quad a 2004 or 2005 players 800 and I had jeans on I love it it was fantastic but like that guy said it got so hot. I had to put my leg up on my right legup on the plastic and I didn’t know why it was so hot and then it asked she got so hot. It melted a hole or burn a hole through my jeans and I’m just wondering what caused all that
Dry rot!!!!!! That’s it. The original tires had plenty of tread but leaked like crazy. I’m going to do another video soon. Otherwise I keep it running, Keep it clean and keep it in the shed. I can only ride it in the winter when I have on boots and long pants. Otherwise, I would get a second-degree burn on my right calf. How can you run such a large twin cylinder 800 cc engine I just 2 quarts of oil? I’ll never buy another North American machine again. In fact, I just bought Mahindra ROXOR. PLEASE CHECK OUT THOSE VIDEOS otherwise, I’ll only buy Japanese.

The only issue mine gave me was the AWD because of the speedometer.
However, that because something chewed on the wires. Other than that no issues.
Crazy, who knows why some are good and some, not so much.Gona make another video on the 800 soon

Mine is still running just like it did in 2008. 525 hours with 3k miles
The engine runs good. It’s the little things that add up.

Thanks for watching. I’m going to put out another video about this unit soon. Please subscribe.
She’ll run. Keep me up dated and thanks for watching.
My 07 800 has 10,700 miles and 700ish hours all orignal and runs great!
I’ll keep mine forever, I would just be hesitant to buy another Polaris. My other toys are Hondas. Thanks for watching.
I love the name of the Channel
Thank you! I’ve been documenting my life post transplant. Check out a couple more of my videos and thanks for watching.
It’s real. No doubt. I’ve seen it all including the afterlife

She runs hot on the right side.
That’s odd I have an 800 efi from 05 and it’s great
I guess it’s like anything else. Some are good and some are bad. Thanks for watching. Check out my latest video. Voted worst channel on CZcams.
I have a 2007 sportsman 500 I can tell you best Polaris ever
I’ll keep mine. It’s full of soul.
nice view guy-
Thanks for watching.
If it's such a piece of s*** and in the shop all the time, how did you wear out the back tires?

Mine runs just as good as it did! Only thing needed was wheel bearings and i ride the 💩 out of it! Great bike
I guess it’s like everything else. Some are good and some are bad.
One year after my original comment and I can say the 05 800 efi freaking sucks it’s a pile I tell ya what
They are a labor of love. I bought mine new in 05 for just under 10k.
