I have an 2009 dragon 800 switchback As the title says I was wondering how many of you have the fix kit installed on their 2009 dragon 800 ? Mine was starting to get a bog in the top end so I did a compression test 80 on clutch side and 100 on other when pulling over 5 times , and 90 and 120 when using electric start . Just wondering how well this fix kit works what the guys that have installed them think of them and how many miles guys have rode problem free . What to know if it's worth the money to do or just put factory pistons in . I was looking at The MTNTK “FIX KIT” as it is the only one I can get here in Manitoba with out ordering one off Internet . Avenue Honda Polaris sells them in portage la prairie .

I dunno why MTNTK says that, you will still have a very LEAN midrange. I think it should read that "no additional tuners required, but don't hurt", haha. I would still recommend finding a cheap PC3 or something and downloading Jim's 800 maps for the April 2010 re-flash.
I have installed about 4 of my own fix kits (spacer plates and AC pistons) and they have worked out awesome. 2 of them went into 600r/800 mono's, 2 into D8's. My theory on it so far is "It can't hurt anything, so why not". If you price it out and order the parts off the internet you can get it for less than/or right around $300.00 for complete kit with wiseco pistons, cheaper if you run SPI's.

Do a search for "2460M08500" on ebay, that is the Wiseco part number. Right now there is only 3 places selling them. I am guessing because its the end of the season. Mid season there's hundreds of them. I will include the link to the ebay add that I was buying them from for $96.00 and free shipping. But it is no longer active, thats not saying they don't have any, send them a msg and see. Ohh its the 2010-11 M8/F8 2012 F8 Piston, they will be making them for a LONG time.

Credit to HCS member 900cc for giving me the Arctic Cat piston part numbers.
Update: If you search amazon with that part number it pulled up some as low as $83.99.

I harrassed a couple of the guys that where selling the fix kits on ebay. I picked up the bolts, sleeves, and spacer for $90.00. I will try and get you a number, I just want to make sure they will still sell them separate. I and a friend hope to have a batch of the 08-10 spacers made up in the next couple months myself, but don't have a set date.
