Default HPD plain spring in p700 and Driveshaft boot?

Do you guys think a HPD plain Spring would work well in my P700.


Also, tore the two driveshaft/cv boots in the rear. They are all back ordered can anyone help me find these at their local dealer...i will paypal send check what ever....none around here and they are backordered at the factory....here are the part numbers

49006-0005 and
49006-0006

Some one help...should this be covered by warranty? I think so...only 2 months old....384 miles on the bike.....thanks guys

The HPD srpring is more of a drag race spring than anything and would probably be a little much for the Prairie. If you really want a more radical spring for the Prairie I'd take a look at the Polaris yellow or brown.

I disagree [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I found the HPD plain to work great in the hilly trails. Very responsive, nice engagement, good engine braking. Runs even better with duals. I think it is a good all round spring. When Alltoys isn't looking, I will slap it into his P700 and try it!!!!

Its not the engagement RPM's that I don't think would work well with the Prairie, its the shiftout RPM's . The duals and the airbox mods are the reason the plain works well in the V. I think the plain actually revs a little higher than even the V-Force needs, much less the Prairie.

You are probably right there. I got lost in the "drag" thing as I never drag anybody but myself!!. That is why I like to run the Dalton levers as they give you the flexiblitiy on the RPM side with the adjustaqble rivits.
