    I have never worked on a motor of any vehicle before but I want you to know that your videos helped me so much and my RZR is in working order again. Thank You So Much!!

    With that nice clean shop floor you'd have no problem finding a leak! Good job D-Ray!

    Local shops were slammed and I didn't want to wait 4-5 weeks. Watching your series gave me the confidence to DIY. Informative and really well done. I should be starting it up this afternoon. I'll definitely be looking at your other vids.

    Just wanted to say thank you brother. I just completed the top end overhaul on an 05 Sportsman 800 twin and this series of videos was invaluable. I probably wouldn't have even attempted the repair myself without folks like yourself sharing their knowledge on TH-cam.

    D-Ray I watched this series on a very cold Michigan day. It was very informative and your presentation was excellent. I worked for AC Spark Plug for over thirty years and we put together a lot of training videos. Your attention to detail and relaxed presentation keeps a persons attention. Outstanding.

  • @TheMojo51968
    @TheMojo51968 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    After watching your video I decided to tackle this myself. Just finished my second RZR 800 top end rebuild and followed your videos for both. Works like a charm. Thank you for such an informative series.

    Thanks ray for taking the time to doing all these videos. Very good and thorough. I used to work as a Honda mechanic and you did a great job explaining everything especially about leak testing your valves. A lot of people that diy look past that and and wonder why it runs like crap after a new tokens rebuild.

  • @merlinvestibule
    @merlinvestibule 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks so much for this series. I learned a whole bunch of stuff...what I needed to know to keep myself out of trouble. Such as, the valves are hard faced so the cannot be ground. and, the hardchrome bores mean I'll be buying a cylinder/piston set. and gaskets. You did a very logical teardown and great tips on the injector wiring marking. So many things that could go wrong if one doesnt pay attention to detail
    Thanks again

    @Jonerotn4151 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Watched all 5 videos. Thanks for taking the time to shoot this video. I'm pretty decent at working on cars and motorcycles, but you make everything seem so easy. I just purchased a rzr 800 that had the airtube pull away from the throttlebody and had been ran that way for quite a while apparently. Watching this series of video answered every single question I had. Awesome job my man! Thanks again.

  • @dustinelgan6070
    @dustinelgan6070 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Again, great video series. I wanted to pick your brain a bit. Just bought an 08 rzr 800 with 2200 miles, grandpa driven mostly in NY/PA, very clean well kept machine, doesn't appear to have been abused or trail ridden much, putt putt around private acreage from what I can see. I noticed the oil level was a little above full, and I have a decent amount of oil pouring out of breather tube into air filter box after 10 min ride. When I pop my air box open, oil pours out onto ground, enough to soak a shop rag completely. Machine doesn't appear to be burning any oil, though she hates to start after burping oil when warm. Obviously I'm gonna start by changing the oil to proper level, gonna change spark plugs, figured I'd check compression while I'm at it. I also purchased a replacement CNC machined breather cap for valve cover as I've heard the plastic ones have been noted to be problematic. I've read on forums that the two cylinders pounding away at same stroke does create a lot of crankcase pressure, is this oil blow by pretty commonly seen? Let me know what you think, maybe there's another check I may be missing.. also, what's your opinion of the big bore vs stock bore when replacing the cylinder jugs and pistons? Is that a worth while upgrade to go big bore if my rings end up being shot and I take the motor rebuild plunge 😜?

  • @DRaysShop
    @DRaysShop  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've had a few dr650's in the past and they are pretty much bullet proof, if its blowing oil into the air box and the oil level is correct, you may have excessive blow by on the piston rings.

    Ray i watched all 5 of your vids i have the same model as you are working on in the vid and has had a bad oil consumption problem only i found that the vent hose for crank case ventilation had a split in the line im hoping it didnt get dirt exposure like that but im not being very optimistic at this point so i changed out the hose and cleaned up the air box and oil changed it and new air filter and spark plugs and will take it out for a run and see what happens .ive never been into a polaris motor before but looks pretty straight fwd im old school like you and share all the same techniques you do i started out back when i was a kid working on motorcycles and small engines i see the polaris has little differences of what i can see of bike engines great vid keep up the great work thanks for the good info Bill in Nevada
