Is injection oil suppose to lubricate new etec's? I am confussed. 

Yes back to the old days. No more ISO.

600 still has packed bearings, 800 are direct oiled

The new 850 is all oil. The new 650 L is the same. Thats the rumour.

Correct.  The 600 also gets the cable-actuated RAVE valves instead of the previous suction/pressure activated setup.  No more sticky exhaust valves or stupid codes.

Widow makers... crazy bikes

 

As for the 850 info thanks. Certainly interesting to see long life and two stroke mentioned in the same sentence. I wonder how many miles they will go without a build? A friend has 40k kms on his yami 4 stroke... thats nuts

Wife has 65,000 kms and I have 55,000 kms on our 09 1200s. Stilll going strong.

I know of some 850s with between 15-20,000 kms on them. That's pretty good considering all the etec experts on here say there junk..:rotflmao:. If all else fails i WILL snow check something else. They make new stuff all the time..B):icon_dance-cpatch:

That's awesome, its what I'm looking for since my wife and I ride a lot but what do you do with it with that kind of miles on it. There unsellable. I couldn't give our 1200s away if I tried. A dealer laughed at my friend inquiring about a trade with his 1200 and he had half the miles I have on mine.

If it's worthless, just keep riding it.  I have 2 sleds like that and one that will be worthless even though it has not been rode much.
