Is there any way to be able to turn some hellish R's on a 01' scrammy 500 4x4. I was just curious as to what some of you guys do with your machines

 

a different clutching setup will help,but it doesn't make sense if you're running stock pipe,remember the 500 scrambler engine break at 6800 rpm.

 

I got a clutch kit and a pipe, i was thinking bout like a 40mm flat slide carb, ported maybee, i dunno what else

 

Polarisman 72

Please keep posting if you do get the 40mm carb and how it works out for you. I also have a Scrambler 4x4 with a clutch kit, header, and pipe, and I would really like to know if it's worth it. I think unless you start to bore and port the engine, (which I'm not convinced is worth it, I'll just buy a different quad instead!) that's about as far as you can go with the Scrambler. Although I'm not sorry I bought my Scrambler, it's frustrating that with the exception of 1 or 2 companies there is no aftermarket support. I think we Scrambler 4x4 owners will just have to be content with our smug knowledge that we have 4x4 on our sport(y?) quad. So there... phppht!

 

polarisman72,i think you should for the hot seat 42mm carb,it is proven to work best on the 4 stroke 500,try to get clean clutchs and good running belt to make sure thr r's are all the way to full shiftout.

 

I know if i get a new carb my buddy can port it in his shop for me for no charge, how much do them 42mm's run for

 

Wow thats pretty expensive, i know i could get the 40mm for aroung 190 is it that much of a difference
