Hey everyone I havent been in this forum forever!

Welll good news my dad might get me a new RED Sportsman 500 with a winch!

I saw one in action at a mud pit I was riding in and I was impressed. I will find you if I got it by friday Ill right back!

 

I have heard rumors about body roll on the Sp
is it very noticible?

I power side the big boy all the time and the large sway bar does it's job well just make sure it's in 2wd or its a hand full.

 

Body roll on the SP is negligible. The balance achieved by the spring rate on the sway bar vs the IRS is nearly perfect. Any stiffer and the IRS would be compromised. Any looser and body roll would be intolerable, Like on an ARCTIC CAT!!

>>97 Sportsman no EBS it only will slow you down.

Isn't that the idea?

 

When the ATV mags were comparing the Griz to the SP back in 98, both the mags indicated that on side hills the Griz was unstable and unpredictable compared to the SP which was very stable and predictable thanks to the IRS with the torsion bar.

 

The Grizzly is very unstable off-camber, I have the scars to prove it. The next sport/utility quad I buy will have IRS. It does push around a lot of snow, however.
