The 800 Doo Menice:
I have had the opportunity or displeasure to try almost everything under the sun on these engines. I have a few items left and have beed sponsered the equipment to try it. However in the clutching department: Heelclickers are still my favorite, Best all around setup and least finicky to changing conditions. TRA THUNDERSHIFT ARMS, not a bad device but I can get the same results with the stock parts. Gearing, 25/44 was the favorite. Engine package: I am putting one together this summer and should be a real killer. 150 was easy to get at stock rpm and pump gas, I want to push the edge a little. I expect 165 ish when I am done for trail riding on pump gas and all I can tell you is MACDIZZY is envolved. Best add on for the 01' goes to RK TEK, hands down the most fun and best bang for the buck. The 02's are a different story... I can tell everyone that these engines will fly with the right combination. Does it cost money?? Yes it does, my renegade has about $1200 worth of goodies and has NEVER been beaten by ANY other 800 twin or tripple in the snow for 1200ft. Some of the sleds I have raced are: 1025 crank shop, 800 improved, SRX with pipes, thundercats with any brand pipes, our own ZR 800 with pipes and the works, my own stock engine 800X, my own Mach Z, Black Majic 925, Crank shop 900 etc. These sleds will run!! The down side is the money. I also wanted to mention that the renegade is for sale and is a pump gas sled.
