Going to ride the 700 tomorrow at my dealer

THANKS

 

And I go through tight trails. So does the 700 have light steering???? Do you know when the polaris 07 line up going to be on there website



THANKS

 

the newer sportsmans have alot lighter steering than the older models, but its still considerd heavy by the industry as a whole. i think its perfect if you ask me.

the 07's are supposed to be released between the 28th and the 31st of this month

 

THANKS will the 700 be good on gas since it is an EFI. How often do the belts need to be changed

 

If you're looking for mileage.......you might wanna look at something else...These aren't made for mileage but they have some serious power.......Don't get me wrong, I love my machine but if you're gonna go more than 50 miles, you better carry some extra fuel...

Yes, the 700 has some serious power, and is a very proven machine. I couldnt tell you about the steering of the new models, but even with all my mods on mine, and its before the changes, mine steers pretty well. Coming off Honda's and such, i know its nothing like that. But i still love it, and the Feel of the machine cant be beat. Good luck and let us know how that test drive goes.

How fast do you want to go. I have 04 700 EFI and I ride with 04 and 05 yamaha and honda big bore ATV riders and side by side down a straight line they are real close to being equal. The grizzly is almost even with the polaris and the honda I can pull a little on top end but its not enough to to write home about. All of us race hare scrambles and when we get on the ATV's its kind of the same. The grizzly has to soft of suspension which makes it spooky haulin A through the woods. The polaris has great suspension for a utility ATV for gettin it thruogh the woods. The honda does pretty well in the woods also. The only problem with the honda is the transmision, it works great but you will not pull anything real heavy with it do to fact that it is a fluid drive versus gear drive on the polaris.
The story I get hear in Texas is the reason the polaris breaks down is because they run 28' and up tires with spacers between the wheels and hub and the bearings and axles take a beating. The 700 & 800 models have enough tork to handle the larger tires and break things do to the excesive traction. I have had my 700 EFI at Mena Arkansas and in the morning it was nice to just start it and go get coffee at the RV while all my buddy's were standing by their ATV's trying to keep them running by feathering the throttle and playing with the choke do to cold temps.
New to the forums sorry for the lengthly post. Just love my polaris's

Hey guys just got back from test riding a 700EFI. It's great! Yamadog1964 I ride around 45-55

 

I understand that the fuel gage dosen't work on the 500EFI but does it work on the 700 and 800?

THANKS

 

Awesome rtboy. Personally, i have never had one problem with my fuel gauge. Its been 100% correct since day 1. So i dont think you'll have any problems with it on the 700efi. How'd you like it? What color do you think you'll be getting if you get one?
