Looking to buy either of the two for my son...I was going to buy the magnum but was told that the lack of power is really a issue....My question is, The 400 Sp weight is much more than the magnum ..so is the small400cc going to be a dog...or should I stay and buy a magnum 330 ......

Price I'm getting is only $600.00 difference....
We are compairing 4x4's...

Speed isn't a issue... (I don't want him going to fast yet as this is his first quad).....but power is.

Thanks for any input.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Get the 400. 330 is to doggy. More weight and a better machine the 400 is!

 

That is where I am a little sketchy on..a small 400cc and much more weight....

I think the power to weight ratio is better on the 330.......Anyone??????????

It's not!

The 400 is a 425!

The 330 is just a dog. Oh it will pull you. But the 400 well pull you and you buddy's and a trailer, and you gear.

 

And the 330 vibrates alot, making long rides a hand numbing sensation.

 

I have owned the 425 Mag, the 500 Mag, the 400L, the 400 scrambler.

My neighbor has the 330 4x4 and hates it, wishes he had his 400 back.

I own the 400 Scrambler and a 650 Prairie.

The 650 P is the best way to go over all!!!!!!!!

The Polaris's that were best were the 425, and 400L/Scramblers.

Didn't like the 500 that much.

 

I donn't think My son will like vibration.....I didn't realize the 400SP was a 425 cc/ HMMMMMM[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I have the 425 expedition, remember the shifter?(now discontinued, I dont know why). My brother in law has the magnum. Its night and day difference. His lack of power isnt even funny. He gets stuck where I power through. Keep in mind my quad is a manual shifter vs auto, but that shouldnt make up for much difference. There just seems to be a huge lack of tourque in the 330, his isnt quick at all. I dont know how long it takes to get up to top speed what ever that may be, but it takes a long road. I think you would be much happier with the 400sp. My 425 engine has 2000 trouble free miles and seems to run better know than it did when I first bought it.

 

Thanks guy's......Off to find a 400 SP[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Only bad thing..the wife is on a 01 500HO SP
Now my son will be on a 03/04 400SP
I ride a 1995 400 xplorer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]--But I love the old girl, wish they still made them..6,000 miles,no problems
,just re-ringed her..and now ready to go..

BTW the wife and son won't trade me .[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Get the Sportsman 400. the magnum 330 sux its actually a 300 series thats been pumped up a little. My friend got one and I hate it. It makes this high pitch hum noise like its got another gear its gotta go into or somethin. You can also see a big difference in the Power of a Sportsman 400 and a Magnum 330. Also The Weight isnt that much different. Magnums are made cheaper and you get alot less. What Id actually recommend is a Sportsman 500 cuz they got all the power ya need for anything, or a Scrambler 400.
