09 xp 850 no power need help!!

So a little history... Took this into my dealer about 6 months ago for lacking power, it would only pull about 6400 rpms. They did some clutch work and told me it had sucked some dirt and needed a valve job, at this time no blue smoke they changed the oil and said to go ahead and use it because it still runs fine and your not gonna hurt anything else. Then about 200 miles later it started smoking horribly and before i got back home it spun a rod bearing.

So now i have pulled the motor and completly rebuilt it.. New pistons new rods all new bearings new crank, had the cylinders and head checked and adjusted the valves. Put it all back together and it runs great starts right up idles normal, no smoke but it still wont pull rpms, almost sounds a little doggy like the ignition timing is off but i have been told this is not adjustable? I found a spec for it in the service manual at 6 degrees btdc but nothing else on how or if its adjustable or setable by any means.


Im at a loss as to why it wont go past 62 or 6300 unless the dealer screwed up my clutches wich he is sure they are fine. Any and all ideas and input would be greatly appreciated as i have just spent about 1500 dollars on this thing and really cant afford to randomly throw parts at it.

Yes it was the fuel pump, it was about 4psi off the book spec. I put a fuel pump in it out of a 2001 kia optima as polaris wont sell just a pump, they sell the whole fuel tank as a unit for somewhere between 5 and 600 dollars, the pump i got cost me about 60 dollars and works great!!!
