Have no worries.. HELP is finally here for the
800 Polaris CFI Engine! Yes, these fit the new HO Engine.
No "gimmicks" that claim to address the issues
but really do nothing.
Please be aware of "CLAIMS" that the OEM cylinders are
over-sized from the factory!! This is simply a sales "gimmick". We have measured
100's of these cylinders and NONE of them have been out of spec!
It would have required a
HUGE final bore machining/boring error for this to happen... again, this is a
clever gimmick to try and sale you something!
There is NO problem with the
sizing of the cylinders. There IS a problem with the pistons .
Please see below to learn more
about our solution!
The RK Tek Line of Customs Pistons are VERY
Unique... ALL pistons are designed from a blank sheet of paper and uses only the
highest quality of components. We design the piston that should have been
installed from the factory. We, usually, end up altering MANY of the OEM
piston's design aspects and "correct" the short-comings we feel are present.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The
piston we use is VERY CUSTOM! We have been designing our own pistons since 2005.
This piston WILL address the issues associated with the OEM Piston!
The
piston is custom designed with different ring location and oil feed holes and
pin location.
These are the BEST pistons you can buy!!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE:
The RK Tek Line of Pistons are VERY different from
the Wossner production piston.
NOTE:
This is
VERY important...These pistons have a VERY
unique design criteria. You do NOT have to treat these pistons any different (in
any way, shape or form) than your stock piston! They require ZERO added
"treatment"! They will NOT fail unless they are subjected to a low fuel or high
heat condition! These pistons are the BEST piston available on the market today!
BAR NONE!
After some teardowns and inspection of MANY
of the
stock pistons.
Our inspections show that the stock piston has several
"short-comings" that can lead to failure.
FINDINGS:
We find that the OEM Polaris Piston will
NOT hold its form after a very short time of running. We have found it common to
see the piston to cylinder wall clearance DOUBLE in less than 1000 miles.. THIS
is the #1 reason behind these cylinder failures associated with the Polaris
Engine!!
IT IS NOT due to a rod ratio error! It is SOLELY related to excessive
piston to cylinder wall clearance!
The RK Tek Pistons address
this issue 100%!
While there are some "What were they thinking" aspects of this engine.. in
OUR opinion the rod
ratio is not one of them..
While we can not address ALL the issues we see with this engine we can address a
very big one in the piston design.. and that is what we have done with this
offering.
There is no RPM change with this kit. The
kit simply addresses the issues associated with the stock (OEM) Piston.
We also have found that the ,annoying, low RPM
vibration (handle-bar "death shake") is gone with the install of these pistons. MUCH Smoother running at
ALL RPM..
Piston side loading is reduced due to our
unique piston's weight. Yes, this piston is much lighter than the OEM piston and
having a lighter piston will reduce piston side load pressures AND reduce the
stress on the crank!
Less Stress = More longevity and more
power!
We, REALLY, do address the OEM piston design issues with
this kit.
No more "SLOPPY" OEM piston with poor piston
geometry.
BEST PART: NO
AFTERMARKET PIPE, Fuel controller, OR anything else is needed! We, purposely, designed this kit to perform using
the components!
Once you have the kit
installed.. YOU ARE DONE!!
Reliability is NOT compromised in any way,
shape, or form and the cost is VERY affordable.
NO FUEL Controller required!!
If you are looking to take it to the next
level...Look for the
858 Big Bore Kit {clicky} OR the
DROP IN KIT
{clicky}.
Cost is
$395.00
and will include the
following:
$370
without the base gasket

RK Tek Custom, Snowmobile Specific
Pistons and Rings
