I have a sportsman 335 and i am sick of ppl blowin by me on the straight aways with the sp 500's do you know anything i could do to hop it up.

I can already beat them all on tight turning trails all i need is power on the straight aways

 

I hate to say it, but there is nothing you can do to that 335 to be able to run with the 500. The 335 was to small of a motor for that size atv, that is why it only lasted a couple of years.

 

i guess il just have to start racin on a place wit lots of turns cause my smaller tires and light weight i can turn real easy and keep it pind around the corners

 

Owning a SP335 in the past, I can tell you that not only will the 500s blow by you, but the lighter 250s as well. Mine could MAYBE hit 35 on a LONG downhill. Yeah, it rode nice and all that other nice Polaris stuff, but it was so gutless I can't believe they even produced that thing. I did add a K&N, but that didn't do nothing. Good luck!!

 

There are a few 500 motors on Ebay right now . . . :-) Are the frames the same? There is also a 400.

I don't know where you people get your information from, but a SP335 will go 50mph. If you don't believe me,thats your choice. I used to own one before I got the 500. I had over 4,000 miles on it and it would outrun the 250's. If your wondering why it wasn't faster , I think you are completely ignorant of the fact that it had a dry weight of 670lbs. That means with gas,oil,etc it weighed in at around 700lbs. Just think a 334cc engine has to move 700lbs. My neighbor used to own a explorer 250 4X4. When we would drag race, it would be close, but I would end up winning by about 1.5 lenghts in a 100 yard drag. He now owns a rancher 350 4X4. When we raced them it would be so close of a race that it was hard to pick a winner in a 100yard drag. Now any race longer than a 100 yards, the rancher would win as it has taller gearing than the SP335.
