I had to seal the place where the check valve canister fits into the tank breather because it started dripping gas when the tank was nearly full and when parked on an uphill incline. I thought of just removing the breather box and connecting the hose directly to the front side of the check valve? Anyone else know about this?

prairie633,

What do you mean by this? Do you think that Polaris would pull a Bill Clinton? I believe everything they say.

They forgot to mention that the 633cc engine produces more torque than the 688. The fact that nearly all "sport" quads have a rear swingarm. The fact that the 700 isn't a "V" Twin. The fact that the Sp700 is nearly the same width as the P650 but its alot higher and it has the the gas tank mounted right up on top. 5 gallons of gas is quite heavy. What is the deal with the awesome "AWD" system not firing the 2 front tires when the rear are blatently slipping. What is this stupid "E-Z Drum Shift Gearbox with Park" argh I wish my P650 had that dang it! We would want to forget the fact that its horribly over-weight. How can their all-wheel disc brakes possible be better than the sealed rear brake on the 650?! Not to mention the fact that if your going down a hill and you hit the brakes all four go off and you are at the bottom of the hill before your quad. Their Plastic racks are far better than the steel racks on the 650.

Anyway enough of my ranting,

Polaris just think's were all AOL Users.

LOL! Well put!

Hey guys, I heard about a company that is selling an EZ-drum shifter kit for the 650? Does anyone think I need it? I emailed them, and they said it doesn't shift any easier, doesn't make the quad faster. What the heck, so I ordered it.

Another performance company has been developing weight addition system to make the 650 as heavy as the 700. The cool thing is it is rack mounted to create a more top heavy feel. I asked them if I could just place some heavy objects in my box, but they said that would convey a sense of work or utility, and that only their completely useless weight addition system would compete with the 700.

Hey, stop knocking the single brake. It has it's advantages for people who ride while drinking, because they are less able to decide which brake to grab. Polaris solves that problem. What about disabled people?

Also, I saw on one guy's 650, he had custom machined a front driveshaft that was 5 inches in diameter. It was cool looking and had to be heavy. Even though he said it was designed by his four year old using only crayons, he said polaris has contacted him with an offer to purchase the design.
