i was going to reply yesterday but thought you would get lots
ya darrel baker had one a few years back and he tried all sorts of crap to make it run better than a turd and could not get it, after a couple of stuck pistons and wrecked weekends, darrel went back to a 860
also heard of another gent with similar issues, call darrel and see what he thinks of it...lol he might even try selling you it
whos 880 do you have, have over 5 years on my 880 and its been very reliable and pulls hard, do a set of pistons every 2000 miles about it
In my riding group we have 2 of them still playing with clutching,but They are brutes and Daves service is top notch.My buddy that has a 872 is looking at a new sled ,but wants the 800r just so he can run another 872 R .They run very smooth and pull very hard rate from the basement.Yes I talked with Dave the other day about 872 and he says they have 3 years r&d with them and work great. Have not heard of anyone here with one? Are you running one tukernater?
He talks about balance on the 800 which he says rotax missed on 800? He says that's the key to these bb? Maybe he's right if your buddies is smooth!Im thinking heavily for next season!Not into Turbos yet!In my riding group we have 2 of them still playing with clutching,but They are brutes and Daves service is top notch.My buddy that has a 872 is looking at a new sled ,but wants the 800r just so he can run another 872 R .They run very smooth and pull very hard rate from the basement.
I have a MOTs 880 in my sled and it has been bullet proof. aside from clutching and the usual electrical issues the 08's had, by sled climbs with the new XM 163's. and its a 154!
are you running his Head? are you running the crankshop pipe? these are things he tunes and builts his kits with, and he is awesome at carb tuning for that little extra.
If I was Turboing my sled it would be TSS HANDS down .I was running his head and he tuned it for me. Toms a great guy,, i just had shitty luck. That said Im over the 880 dont care what builder, just not eneogh power for me.
I want over 200hp,, Id ideally like about 250hp,, the 950 isnt what im looking for so im doing a Tss turboed XM
Thanks for the input tho

Deano670 on here always told me about a 950 kit that he can build. Give him a call he a good guy to deal with and wont sell you something that wont work!Anybody have any experience with the 950 good or bad? Cant find much info on them,, doesnt look like bikeman sells them any more?
I have a buddy that got a Bikeman big bore installed by TSS. he hasn't had much help with tuning, its like they slapped it in and said good luck.. He asked what he should do for clutching and they told him to "see how it runs the way it is".... They added 20HP to the sled and told him to keep stock weighting... don't make no sense to me, especially coming from a company as well known as TSS..
