Default Sportsman 800 efi speed???

I have a 05' 800efi. I did 65mph on dirt just after the break-in period. I now have 34mi on it and the throttle was pint at 55mph on grass for a 1/2 mile. That's not right! Has anyone else had this problem or taken their quad to the dealer about this?

Check the outer waer cover on your filter, clean it in soap and water and try it again.

The sp800 efi should get about 73mph i think. I hit 68-70 on my V2, and the 800 will slowly pull away from me at top speed.

My brother-in-law has one with a winch, plowplate, and spring spacers and he gets 68mph on GPS. He weighs around 260lbs.

Thanks for the help all. I put a Uni filter in and it got up to 60 on the grass and 70+ on hard dirt/street. This is more like it. I think I'm going to need a pwr commander to make it get up to 70 on the grass.
