What do you want to ultimately do with the unit, i.e., large wheels/tires, or X?

I formally owned a 800, and there is plenty of power to play with and have fun.

Welcome aboard, Chigger30! Not a whole lot can be done to increase the motor output but like the others above said, the 800 is strong and has plenty of power to get you into trouble! You can do significant changes to the suspension to alter the appearance and the ride quality like adding a lift, forward A-arms, repositioning the shocks, larger (and/or different) tires, additional lighting, winch, clutching, adding a roof, windshields, and adding some tunes! All of those changes are discussed in great detail in the half a million posts on this forum. My advice is to not to be in too big of a hurry to start your modifications. Read a bit first on the mods you are most interested in and be aware that some of them could have a negative impact on your warranty. After 6 months, the warranty becomes a mute point (unless you purchased an extended warranty), so break out the wallet or drain the kids college fund and have at it!

You might try locally at the Polaris dealer as the 800's are phased out and many dealers are marking the accessories down significantly to move them along. I'm confident if you look here, under the classified section you will see some options available to you and specific to that unit.

Don't get a K&N filter. They're okay for the street but not good for off-road. If you wanna upgrade air filters, get a Uni or some other type of dual foam filter.

Essentially all these lack protection from the wheels tossing mud under the seat, bed, etc. If you search above "mud flaps" or "mud guards" you will find many different products which you can purchase and in many cases including myself, fine creative ways to do it for under $20.
I have done extensive mods to mine as you can see by links in my signature and build thread. As others have said, not much can be done to get more power but then again, you don't need more power. I say get basics like roof(steel or aluminum not plastic) windshields then a full trail armor skid plate and drive it like you stole it on stock tires until you figure out where you want to go.

First oil change should be done at 25 hours. You will get lots of suggestions on alternative oils but any quality synthetic for four stroke engines should be fine

As stated above, you will hear many different recommendations on oil and suggestions. Here is link you might look through and search further here http://www.prcforum.com/forum/154-ranger-xp-900-discussions/57842-settle-oil-argument-me.html At the 25 hour mark you will be changing all fluids (front axle, engine, etc.) and each component essentially requires something different.

If you do not have a manual, this might be handy link to have http://www.polaris.com/en-us/Company/Parts-Manuals/PartsManuals/9923497r01_lo_res.pdf Pages 44/45 give details on what fluids are recommended for changing and at what intervals.
