Well, hopefully you won't give up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I'm sure there is a small fortune to be maid if you actually can come up with a good CDI box to eliminate the detuning of the Prairie and the Vforce. I know Prairie 650 owners; they are power hungry and want to see the full potential of their machines. Were all counting on you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The Kawasaki rep I talked too at the ATV Jamboree this weekend said that at the crank the 700 will produce 47 HP. The interesting thing was that he seemed really surprised that I knew about this quad like it was still a big secret.

Did anyone else notice that at the ATV jamboree this year there was hardly any Honda's it was all Kawasaki, Yamaha, Polaris.
The ATV pull and mud I only saw three Honda's compete a Rancher, Rubicon and a Rincon or has I put it a Rincrap.
FYI all three Honda's powered out could not spin the tires at the end of the pull.

I sure hope he is wrong. If it only puts out 47hp from the crank, then this thing isn't gonna be what we all expect.

47hp, is about right for a &quot;corked up&quot; 700cc big bore V-twin. It is always up to the individual to get the real potential of these &quot;manufactured&quot; machines.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Oh,well that's half the fun right???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

47hp is what a Scrambler 400 2x4 with a pipe and air box mod puts out, and the weight between the two should be pretty close. And I know that the Scrambler with the above mods is still much slower than a Quadzilla. Will the extra torque from the 700 make it faster than a Quadzilla, I am beginning to think not.

What's the deal with the dealers! I thought they got to demo ride the V-Force at the Dealer Show in Texas. Someone's got to know a dealer that rode this machine. Let's hear it, what did they think about it.

The trail was the best I have seen it in the four years I have been attending, rain at night and little or no dust in the day. We rode over 400 miles in five days of advanced plus trails.
