Is there a way of changing gear ratios on the SP 500 for more low end/bigger tires? I think that might mean front and rear ring & pinnion changes but I don't know if there is something in the tranmission that could be done. It seems that belt/clutch mods would be available for more pulling power and mud running in high range. I'm not ready for that, just wondering.

(Sorry for all the questions on this and other posts, I'm just real excited about my new machine, it's AWSOME!!)

I dont know but if you are in mud take the quad out of high and to nutrual. THen put back in high. Then it seems to have plenty of power, most of the time.

 

Sorry there is no ring and pinion in the rear of a sp 500. the trasmision and rear end are a one piece unit, and it somwhat resembles a transfer case out of a 4x4. Just use low range and Mud on.

 

Changing the weights and springs in the clutch(s) is probably the best route to get what you want. The guy talking about putting it in neutral then back in high is probably taking the sugar pill for some serious ailment and having excellent results. Always keep the bike in low when mudding/hill-climbing.

 

sorry but the guys previous are right no way to gear them down i've been looking into to this also....the new 700 twin is having a big problem burning belts...simple solution is to gear the thing down but that is easier said then done but polaris may actually have to do this to correct the problem to bad there not like snowmobiles and you just can change gears in the chaincase
