: 2001 zr800
airwalton 08-05-2002, 04:01 AM Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of buying a 2001 ZR800 but a lot of my friends have told me they have a tendency to blow engines.I have only driven Polaris in the past so I have no first hand knowledge of the Arctic Cat motors.any information on this sled would be greatly appreciated. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
TallCool1 08-05-2002, 12:49 PM I have an '01 ZR800 and love it, no problems, love the sled.
airwalton 08-05-2002, 12:56 PM Thanks for quick response,
how many miles have you put on your sled,and have you kept it stock?
zr80025 08-05-2002, 01:20 PM i have one 2001 i have almost 3000mile have vforce dd air box down jet 2 size *only problem is if you use low quality oil would need to clean the valve often
TallCool1 08-05-2002, 03:25 PM Walton, I have about 1000 miles on it. *Kept it stock for first 500, then put D&D pipes on it w/no clutch work. *Still ran fine, but lost top-end w/improper clutching. *Just clutched it this summer, so can't wait. *My dealer gave me the wrong oil, so I've had to clean the ex. valves already. *The handling is what really impresses me w/this sled. *I can run the bumpy trails as hard as I want, and it just gets better. *I had a ZRT *800, so I was used to a little more power...but my sled dynos around 156 hp now (140 stock) and I probably won't do much else to it, except maybe studs, V-Force and airbox.
Auggie 08-10-2002, 12:52 AM Well Jim, if I were you I would change the pistons to the new and improved one's. With those pipes your max eng. rpm probably will go from 7500 to around 8200. Better change those pistons !!

1BADZR 10-10-2002, 10:54 PM I love my 800, never had one problem with it, couldnt ask for anything more but maybe a longer snow season.
84EVR 10-11-2002, 05:44 AM A friend of mine has a stock 01 800 with close to 5000 miles on it. Original pistons. Runs like a top.
Greenclicker 10-11-2002, 05:56 AM Itīs a great sled, but i think the handling could be better...
Maybe itīll do for you, but I want a more agressive handling.:angry:
Just my 02
ZR Sled Head 10-11-2002, 08:10 AM The only issue is with the stock pistons. AC has a recall on them that will make it dead nuts reliable, of course at N/C to the customer.
You can't go wrong as its fast, smooth, handles and rides well with the bonus being its very easy on fuel. Nice sled......enjoy and don't forget to wait at the intersections for your Polaris Bros to catch up.

I have looked for the recall but have been unable to locate it,where can I find this info??
TallCool1 10-11-2002, 01:42 PM Air, look in the next page or two of A/C posts...there is a thread specifically on the recall.
I have to say again, I rode my ZR very hard last year and it performed perfectly...I can't imagine wanting another sled for the trails.
airwalton 10-11-2002, 02:30 PM Hey thanks a lot!
