how much do you think an 05 500 4x4 LE would have? , also who makes aftermarket engine mods for it, cuz we want speed out of it. like how much would pipes be?

 

Go to highlifters website to see the HP. Look under dyno runs. They have an 03 500i that they put on a dyno. It's the same engine that the '05 has so the readings will be similar. First mod I'd do would be a dynojet kit. If you can stand the extra noise, a HMF pipe. If you really want speed, upgrade to a 650. :-D

Congrats on the new quad!

 

The title application that I got with my new '05 500 auto, says it has 32 hp.

I believe that's HP at the motor not at the wheels. Highlifter's website shows HP at the wheels.

 

ouch, that means its only like 24 .... is that right?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Yep, time for a dynojet kit, K&N filter and a HMF pipe. . :-) You can also get clutch kits from aaen for the 500 that'll wake it up quite a bit. For the money you'd put into it, you'd be better off to get the 650 if you're worried about the speed. You're not out of the break-in period yet though. The power on it will start to increase at 200-400 mile mark. All in all Arctic Cat doesn't focus on speed unless you buy the DVX. The 500 and 650 are sport/utility quads with a HEAVY emphasis on utility. Enjoy it for what is it. You have a great bike!

 

can someone post a link to the page that has HP ratings. Either I'm dumb or just can't find it OR both. Thanks.

Oh yeah, I'm new here.

 

Lownranger the page I'm referring to is here:

go to www.highlifter.com, click on performance tuning then on dyno runs.
