When you say the 850 is an all new engine, isn't it a bored and stroked (84/77mm) version of the previous BRP Rotax (82/75.6mm) engine?
But I do concur with the general warning about being a test dummy. I suffered mega time for my purchase of what was then the brand new F650GS twin. Chains, rear axle bearing, ignitions problems and much more.
