Does anyone know if the fuel tank from a sp800 X2 will fit in a regular sp800? I noticed that the X2 has a 6gal tank, and I would like the longer range.

 

I think I remember seeing a previous thread stating the bigger tank only fits because of the extened wheelbase and wont fit on a reg. Sportsman.

 

That's right SPYDEY, a big no go on that one. Sigh!

 

thats a bummer we could really use a bigger tank @ 10 mpg

 

that all your getting is 10 miles to a gallon I'am getting 14 with mine.

 

thats what i got last time i filled up. the gauge was blinking and i put 3.9 gal. in ona 4.13 tank w/ 39 miles. depends on the riding you do as well. ive got up to 16 mpg when i was going easy. big trip for tomorrow so ill check it again.

 

wow 16 miles to gallon would be awesome keep me updated where do you live in maine? been looking into going up there. we been spending alot of time in N.H this year maybe we could hook up.

 

my 2000 Sportsman had a 5.25g fuel tank and i thought that was terrific! i just can't see why Polaris has gone down hill over the years and now has a 4.35g in my old 700EFI and i think the owner's manual read 4.25g in my 500EFI.
just plain cheap and stupid if you ask me. the large tank was one of the HUGE positive points that set the SP apart from the other ute's. now they are soo-much alike feature-4-feature that the SP iMO is slightly behind........because of that extra weight and lower range and the fact the other utes have IRS, disc brakes, auto trannys, ect,ect.

the gap has not narrowed, it's closed!

i think Pol has to work on the bigger tank, fix all the 500EFI problems, and fix the un-acceptable MELTING PLASTIC. that's just plain crazy, shows that they don't care, and no R+D on a $7K ATV!
