32 would be closer to right than 18.

my old 225 DX 3 wheeler had 12. so i am sure that the SP puts out a little more than 6 more HP.

Check out the SP500 graph for a DynoJet carb kit. It boosts (REAR-WHEEL) Horse-Power from 18.5, up too 20.

That is right.....20HP!!!

There are only 2 "stock" quads that make over 30 rwHP, and they are the Banshee and DS650.

Check out GT Thunder and look at the 500 Scrambler dyno graph. With Hot-Seat exhaust it makes 29HP.
Stock Sport 400L is 28HP.

Thank you cstark, I was hoping someone would set it correct instead of all the hoping.
If these things were into the 30+ HP range, they would be outrunning the 400EX, now you see why I laugh when I read this stuff.
Thanks again.
