I will be buying a machine by the end of april, 700 efi is ranking high on my list, just wondering if any 700 efi owners have any regrets with their purchase, also interested in positive feedback. My 2 brothers have sp 500's, I need to out do them I hope this will do it.

Thanks

 

just got my 700 EFI yesterday, kills my ol' mans 500 H.O. its a beast. fast as hell and the front end will come off the ground if i gun it and im not sitting forward.

 

if you could wait a little bit longer Kawi will be coming out with their 750 EFI with the IRS option. It will surly dog a 500 HO.

 

yeh man my friend got the EFI and its getting worked on right now he had it about a month and the river here came up so we went mudding and he got in some deep water and it started cutting out when he gave it gas we thought it might of got water in the intake but no its electrical i got the 04' 700 and it dont have a problem with deep water but that EFI smokes me off the line WHOO but i will let you kno when he gets his 4wheeler back tell you what went wrong with it

 

I hope it is just a minor problem, I plan on doing a little swimming with mine.LOL Some of our trails have deep crossings. I'll be waiting to here more.
Thanks

 

The 500's, if high output, will probably get you on the start, but the EFI will pull right away from them. A good 500 H.O. has good bottom end torque. Let the EFI get broken in good and I think you will get them though. The 700 EFI will definitely out pull and out mud with the best of them. I have had mine a couple of weeks and am loving it. I have almost 100 miles on it already. I love it and would recommend it! It is my first quad, though. I say go for it!

 

Got my 700 EFI couple of weeks ago too, went up against a 97 scrambler 500 and 04.5 500H.O. , didn't catch the scrambler until 40mile an hour and the 500 H.O. was right beside me. I don't think I did that bad as my machine only has 8 hours on it and barely broke in so I didn't push it for too long. I think the only difference you'll find is when you start changing altitudes and it affects the 500 H.O. and not the 700 EFI. The 700 although will out pull and haul the 500 H.O. but in top speed they are very close if not the same.

 

My EFI has been great, not a problem to date. I have close to 200 miles on mine. I wouldn't worry about the system screwing up in the water, polaris assured me that it is waterproof. You'll just have to drive one, it's way past words. If you are steping off a Honda, Kawi, or Yamaha you'll love the Polaris for the ride, and just how it drives. Go to your polaris dealer and give it a test!

 

Absolutely no regrets with the 700EFI!!!!! 500 miles on mine now and not a problem yet!! You cant go wrong with the EFI. Cant wait to see what other model's will be sporting EFI this year?

 

AnywhereTom,was wondering if the guy with the 04.5 HO has had some mods done to it to be able to hang with you like that ,because from what I have read on this forum the 700 efi is freakin fast and will pull pull wheelies in high range and do 70 mph ,if he hasn"t done any mods to it I am thinking I must of picked a real turd because my 04.5 HO will only do 56 mph flat out and it has 14 hours on it so I would say it is broke in and isn"t going to get any faster.
