I had one issue so far with my scrambler, on the first ride on the scrambler I had the stearing bolt nut fall off on the first ride, the quad still rode but it was a damper since it was the first ride, cheap fix and Ive been out twice since without any problems. Anyone deal with the dynojet kit for the 4x4 scrambler? I just received mine off of ebay and I will order my pipe probably this week. I want to order the HPD, is the 300 dollar price tag right?
Thanks
On the HPD pipe I personally didnt see the $$$$$ in it.I went with a WB Eserries for around $175 and got great results with just a K&N and no jetting.Aaens muffler with sparkarrestor was around $240.On the jet kit it will be harder to get the carb off than to put the kit in and just HOPE you get it right the first time.Good Luck on your kit.

today while i'm pounding up a knarly hill my throttle sticks whoa.......nelly!
You may want to have them check the ETC function. A stuck throttle cable will basically kill the engine power if it is stuck when let off the throttle. By the sounds of your post, it sound like you got lots of power happening.

I took a few minutes last night to look at my cable, it was late and I couldn't see very good. I didn't see any chaffing or feel any worn places, I plan to look a little closer this weekend. A small hose would probably be a cheap fix if there is going to be a problem. Thanks for the heads up.

Just need a clarification. I checked my 04 SP400 and didn't notice the cable near the shifter bracket (didn't pull the panel off yet). Is this a problem with the 04.5 Sportsmans with the in-line shifter or the 04 with the H-pattern shifter, or both? Thanks.

It looks like all sportsmans with inline shifter ... just take off the right side (shifter side) panel and starting at the carb ... following the cable with your hand ... about 4" before the carb (toward the front of the machine) there is a cross member ... the cable is rubbing on this metal cross memeber. You should be able to lift the cable and see the paint is rubbed off the cross memeber and the cable is worn.

********UPDATE

When riding for the first time after getting my 500HO back with new cable and routing ... now stalls @ idle when you place the sterring full right or left. Taking it back to dealer on monday so they and Polaris can look into the problem. Looks like the new mounting points are causing the cable to not flex correctly and hold a steady idle under hard left/right sterring.

Just back off a hair on the ETC adjusment and the issue will be history.
