Status: offline 		I saw a new Sportsman 800 at the dealer today and noticed it had 800 HO on the sticker.  I also noticed in the Youtube video where they are talking about the 09 RZR Sport they call it a HO motor and say it's putting out 55 hp. 

Is anything different from 08 or are they just marketing different?

Status: offline 		The 08 800 HO has a different cam,head(s) and a few other components. It isn't just a sticker. Look at the parts breakdown and you will see the parts that do not interchange between the HO and non-HO. Also not all 08 800's are HO,matter fact for some reason they didn't put them in the X2 or Touring as far as I can tell.
