Default Newbie with a 700

I just bought a 2006 Polaris 700 Sportsman and i am looking to do some mods.
A website with goodies to buy for my new toy would be great!

Is there anything i can do to make it stay started better in the cold when i first start it up?

Also is this "Power box" or the "Dyno ki"t worth anything?

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend a clutch kit like the Heelcliker for better belt grab and preformance. Also for the better start up I would recommend the Dynojet kit. After I installed my Dynoket kit my 700 started alot better and I rarely ever use the choke anymore. Also welcome to the forums.

Congrats on your new machine! I'm sure you'll have fun.

I can't tell you what mods are good as I haven't done any on that machine, but remember that any changes from factory is something that makes it harder to get taken care of by the dealer. I would suggest that you leave mods for after you have ridden it 500 miles, or so, and during that time take it to the dealer for anything that's not right. This gives you time to see if anything is wrong, out of adjustment, or needs tuning.

Put your money into things like winch, gps unit and holder, first aid kit, tow strap, box/bags for hauling gear, gloves, good helmet, repair manual, cover, trailer/ramps, maps of the areas you want to ride, lessons on riding, time spent joining an ATV club, tools, goggles, tire repair kit, hand pump, flat gas and water packs, proper clothing, and rear view mirror. These are things you'll need anyway, and it can take several months to get all your stuff together, too.

Don't get caught up in the bigger, faster, flashier yet.

It's not to bad. Just involves pulling the airbox and carb. After you have the carb off you follow the directions below.




1. Remove vacuum slide from the carb. Remove stock needle & spacers, noting order of assembly.
2. Install Dynojet needle on groove #3 for applications below 3000 feet, groove #2 for above 3000 feet, using all stock spacers. Install the Dynojet washer above the E-clip.
3. Install the Dynojet slide spring (DSP007M) in place of the stock slide spring.
This is Groove # 1
4. Remove stock main jet. If you are running the stock exhaust use the DJ142 below 3000 feet, DJ138 from3000 to 6000 feet and DJ134 above 6000 feet. If you are running an aftermarket exhaust with a Quiet
baffle, use the DJ144 below 3000 feet, DJ140 from 3000 to 6000 feet and DJ136 above 6000 feet. If you are
running an aftermarket exhaust with a High flow baffle, use the DJ146 below 3000 feet, DJ142 from 3000 to6000 feet and DJ138 above 6000 feet. Be sure that the jet you are changing is the main jet.
5. Locate the Fuel Mixture Screw. If you see a screw head at Fig. B then proceed to the adjustingprocedure. With the 5/32 drill bit provided carefully drill through the plug. NOTE: The mixture screw is
directly underneath this plug, be ready to pull back on the drill the instant you break through. Use screw
provided to secure and remove this plug. Using a flat blade screwdriver, turn the mixture screw clockwiseuntil it seats, then turn out 1.5 turns below 3000 feet or 1 turn above 3000 feet.

Thats where I bought mine. I think now some people are selling generic Dynojet kits that look like the real thing but are fake. So watch who you buy from and look at their feedback if you get one on ebay. Heres a page that tell how to spot fake kits. http://www.dynojet.com/whats_new/Pre...OffJetKits.pdf
