I have had my 04.5 sp700 for about eight months now and I was wondering what any of you guy's have done to get more out of it? I have heard that they are detuned from the factory and I want to retune it to get the max out of it. Any info would be great! Thanks in advance[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

If it is like any other ute out there the basics all apply. Clutch kit, k&n, and an exhaust system. If it isn't fuel injected you shouold be able to rejet it.

 

Rejet to make it run leaner correct. It is a carbed model

 

Yeah, most quads come out running a little on the rich side so that you don't run the risk of cooking the engine. So if you re-jet to be a little leaner you should be able to pick up some HP.

 

The best way to improve the performance and reliabillity of a Sportsman 700 is to take the handle bars off and install them on a AC 650, Prairie 700 or the new Brute Force. That will increase your performance a whole lot and trim about 100 pounds off your ride as well. That is the quickest way I know to make a Sportsman better.

 

That's a good one[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] How 'bout that new Kawi? Now with IRS the Polaris boys have some serious competition. I still worry about that little motor in the tranny that creates belt tension for engine braking. Too much electrical stuff for me, and the front diff locking system, I would just rather gas it and go with Polaris AWD. But 750 cc's in V-Twin form, that thing is gonna scream, especially at only 604 lbs. In a perfect world we would just buy both, a Polaris and the Brute Force, why not the Prairie too while we're at it. For now I'll ride my sp600, it's enough for me, for now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
