just purchased a new scram 500 2x4...after brake-in, thinking about a pipe,clutch kit, and filter...the dealer is recomending the package from hot seat...for 475.00 installed...is this out of line or a good deal....i havent priced any other packages yet...are these worth while upgrades?....riding mostly trails, hills, sand dunes..thanks folks

 

Dont listen hotseat is trash(well there exhuast are i had one) I have a hpd exhaust aaen roller clucth kn filter aaen 42 mm carb, and the mid range on this machine now just rips But i still dont have the jetting quite right. EMAIL ME FOR MORE DETAILS.

 

I have yet to hear one good thing about Hot Seat.

 

So how do you like the scram 500? I am thinking of getting a 500 2x4. How does it compare to other sport quads?

 

Quadfather,
Are most the negative things that you have heard about Hot Seat recently or years ago? I have a 01 SC500 4x4 and my dealer is recommending Hot Seat. Will I be disappointed with Hot Seat? I was going to do the pipe and clutch kit. I already did the K&N air filter ( no change as expected ). Can any SC500 owners recommend anything better. Not worried about the cost, just want a kick butt fast trail quad. Thanks for any replies...

 

I now have the HotSeat springs for my suspension and they are great. I also got a deal on there billet head but if I were you I would stick to HPD for the pipe and performance mods though...Proven performance.

 

dAnny: You can do a search on HotSeat on the forum to see what has been said about their products. I don't have any personal experience with them, just what I hear on this forum, which hasn't been too promising. Word of mouth goes a long way.

 

I had the exhaust it leaked and then it snapped off.

 

I like the Scram 500 2x4 alot.....I had a '95 Mojave and got tired of that in a hurry. I also rode a Warrior, but thought the Scram was better deal. Plus this will smoke the Warrior...

 

jetjock: I have the complete hotseat exhaust package and I have not had any problems with it. I work at a polaris dealership and we put a exhaust package on a scrambler 500 4x4, and he has had absolutely no problelms with it.
