ok guys ive been promising you a review on this havent i. well its short and sweet. now before i get started i have to put my law disclaimer in. lol. this is my own opinion and may not be for everyone. ok, i put the heel clicker in my 800 as you know and was unhappy w/ the performance(which was none), and then put it the 450 w/ kinda of the same results. tried about 3 or 4 differnt set ups and didint get the great results i was hoping for. if you want more info you know what to do.

I guess these polaris quads must be comming clutched pretty good from the factory. You got to believe that if a 760 cc push rod motor in a 760lbd dry quad can compete with a v-twin 4 valve OHC engine in a 700 lbd quad and a 680 cc ohc 5 valve single in a 600 lbd quad, then polaris is getting their stuff together in the driveline compartment. Can you imagine our 800 set up in a 600 lb chassi?

Yea, I just got a new job so I won't be putting in many hours at the you know what dealer. I started at a local state park this week as a building and grounds worker so i'll be doing trail maintenance for the summer. First job with my environmental science degree, running a big lawn mower and a blade, as I just graduated in december. Those four years of school are really paying off now. LOL

Yea pretty much. I'll try to work my way up, again.

But on the polaris note. I'm looking forward to a 600lb, round tubed, sportsman with some of the RZR characteristics such as double a-arm and rolled IRS. We'll see.

I'd really like to put my Environmantal Science degree to work by working with ATVs and trail issues. You know testing them and such to make sure they work.
