Jimmy Snacks 20,796 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Based on the 600 HO Motor and has PERC and Oil Injection…also has a Neil’s Power Pipe…reliable? I’ve been reading about them and the reviews are good.👍🏼🇺🇸 Anybody have any experience with that motor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deephaven 2,195 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 My 660 was, but I still did pistons and a cleanup before I hit 5k. I would trust a new 800 more but wouldn't be scared of one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He should have some feedback for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bontz 2,428 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 So, I'm just gonna throw this out there as an 800 & 850/840 owner who went with the Polaris 650 this past season (in XCR trim). Fun sled - not gonna deny it. But I did miss the torque of the bigger sled more than I thought I would .... a lot more. So much so that I'll be selling my XCR when the new '23 850 XC comes in. Awesome sled in the tight trails, and has plenty of snort to ride on the lakes with the bigger sleds ... but not race. Maybe the 685 has a bit more grunt to fill the need though? Also, I'm not sure what the 685 gets for gas mileage, but my 650 wasn't anything impressive. So, just throwing out a bit of a "setting the expectation" deal for ya if Carl's is any fair comparison to the 650. I really liked it, especially the first couple rides ... but it didn't take long to miss the bigger displacement sleds I had previously owned 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ean is a great guy. I bought a bunch of shit from him and he knows the Poo stuff as good as anyone. 33 minutes ago, Bontz said: So, I'm just gonna throw this out there as an 800 & 850/840 owner who went with the Polaris 650 this past season (in XCR trim).

I was sad when I sold the 660, but it fit a very small purpose and the 800/850's almost solve that purpose and resolve the rest of the things that the small blocks can't deliver. I would bet that the new 650 is on par with a 685 albeit with a flatter more boring power curve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well now I know the 650 isn't what I thought it would be. Maybe they should have tuned it for premium and squeezed more hp out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll still have the SB Assault 850 in the trailer so should be all good.👍🏼🇺🇸 Edited June 16 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
