My friend told me he got to ride a 700 and it did a wheelie in high at 10 mph. He said it took about 3 seconds to get to 52 mph also. Is it just me, or does anyone smell BS?

 

<sniff, sniff> Something's rotten in Denmark.....

 

my cuzin wheelies his 700 really good siting down

 

Yeah I think he is full of it again. He also said it didn't have that slow response in high like his 400 has. Any magazine review I have read, said it has the same slow engaging in high as the others. Anyone know much about this?

 

My 700 won' t unless ya jerk like heck on the handlebars.
It will hit 52 kinda fast but not that fast. But I only have 3000 miles on mine, maybe I am missing something. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Maybe if he was standing on the rack extention(Don't do!) or he has some upgrade that I have never heard of clutch wise.. I am betting that he is starting that age old battle of my quad can kick your quads #@& My mom can beat up your dad ect ect ect... Best thing to do is tell him to strap on his helmet and show ya.. Oh if your hungry bet him lunch my guess is he will be buying..

 

Well the Polaris dealership was having an open house type of thing. So he rode a 2003 Sp700 with about 180 miles on it he said. At first I just said, bulls**t man. And he was like, no I am serious it was really fast. I said, well you should get one so we can find out, because he said it would give my Rincon a run for it's money. I just rolled my eyes and said ok. I know it's powerful, but come on not that damn powerful to pull all 700+ lbs off the ground at 10mph in high.

He also tells me that he can get a 500-550 cc stroker kit for his SP400. Any truth to this? Also tells me that the SP700 can be bored & stroked to over 850cc. This guy is so full of s**t his eyes are brown, but is there any truth to what he said about the stroker kits? I am just wanting to settle this BS he has once and for all.

 

mine won't wheelie in high...period! but it does wheelie real nice in low. and i do have a clutch kit in it.
don't know about the stroker kits.

 

The 700 sportsman can probably be bored over 800cc's. It did originate from the 800 twin from the Polaris Liberty sleds, just detuned

 

Thanks for the truth guys. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
