According to a pic in Modquads profile, polaris says the 05 Pred has 50hp or a .121 power to weight ratio. They show a yfz450 with only 37hp and a .106 power to weight ratio. Did they also bump up th hp on the 05. This would be awesome. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

wondering the same thing!! or is just a bunch of bs or did they do sumtin to the engine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

huh... you would think polaris would advertise any new motor work... 50 hp is alot... we will jus hafta see... but i wouldnt bet the farm that it has that much

 

im pretty sure in the charts the pred aint compared with the 450 but in bump steer it is compared. The hp is the same no engine work was done.

 

The graph that I saw in Modquads profile, they compared it to the YFZ, 450R and the Raptor.

 

I just saw them comparing the HP to the yfz450. In the other charts they compared the raptor and z400.
I believe the 50HP is for the TLD?

 

at first in 2003 they wanted to be at 50 hp,but so far i thing everyone known¸they were detuned a little for first year production and improvment
was to come so,the engine is now race ready from what i heard,the CDI
BOX alone give extra ponies on top end.,,happy 50th the predator
is the quad to check for performances at polaris this year,,

 

The did change the Rev limit on the 05. I would imagine that some internals were changed to allow that

But what do I know?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

the only thing that they had to change to change the rev limiter was to set it highed on the cdi...so nothing interna really happend

 

well i guess we'll see but my money will still be on either of the 450's in a drag against a pred even the tld version.
