JUST GOT HOME WITH A 01 YELLOW SCRAMBLER 500 4X4,FEELS A LOT STRONGER ON THE BOTTOM END.RACED MY WIFES 99 500 SCRAMBLER 4X4 AND IT PULLS ABOUT 4 BIKE LINKS JUST TAKING OFF,DID NOT TRY TOP END YET(WANNA PUT A FEW MILES ON IT FIRST) JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THE SAME RESULTS.

 

ugh ohh i might have to sell the 99 scrambler to get the new one!! was that your t-blazer in the atv magazine with te 800 motor?

 

I thing so too . Picked it up 10 days ago, felt faster then any stock polais I have ever been on. First 4x4 I have riden that will put it on the back bumber by just hitting the gas.After 4hr of brake-in look out it realy flys!! Draged raced my son on his 97 shee, an off the line I pulled him by 10 feet an held him off for the first 100yds . But in high gear he walked away,(more like run).Then raced a 400ex on grass the same thing .I pulled him by 10 feet off the line, at the end of 1/8mile I had him by 5 or 6 feet. All I can say the yellow ones are one quick bike.

 

MY DEALER SAY'S POLARIS INCREASED POWER ON THE YELLOW ONE'S BECAUSE THERE LIMED EDITIONS,I HAVE'NT CONFIRMED IT THOUGH.BUT SEAT OF THE PANTS SAY'S SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT.

 

Well isn't it obvious?? Yellow is a "lighter color" than red....

 

I do know they look faster!!lol

 

does anyone have a pic of there yellow scrambler?

 

I may need to get some yellow plastic for mine...

 

Are there any pictures of these yellow scramblers? I haven't heard anything about yellow ones. Are they some kind of special edition models, do they offer any other changes? Enquiring minds want to know.

 

Just a thought. I remember back in the day when the "new" 99's came out. Of course I had to ride one and compare it to my 98 HO Scrambler. I too felt that the 99 seemed faster. However, my dealer said he hears that all the time. His explanation for the phenomenon is that the brand new machines have brand new belts. If I wanted to make mine feel like that...I should get a brand new belt too. In the end...I noticed during drag races that the 98's & 99's were the same for speed. The 2001's may be different....they may not be different. Just a thought guys.
