How about starting a list of the most popular things people would like and send it to Polaris?

You will not feel the diffence of a 100 lbs lighter on bikes this heavy.I try out my dads 600 lb Suzuki 500 and you have no chance throwing that around any more than a 700 lb quad. I sure cant tell it's 100lbs lighter when I ride the Suzuki.

Dennis Kirk has a mud flap kit for around $50 for either end.

Besides the Improvements for the quads. Polaris should update their web page. I am getting tired of seeing "Sorry, there are no reviews available for the xyz at this time".

What Polaris needs to do to stay the top dogs
1. put radiator at a slant like in the hummers so that the mud doesn't directly inject into the fins
2. get rid of the REVERSE LIMITER BUTTON!!!! Nothing gets me swearing like when I'm stuck in a mud whole, trying to get out in reverse while pushing the machine in waist deep mud while trying to hit that little *(*)(*(##@!! yellow button!!!
3. a fuel primer bulb to pump when you run out of fuel and need to put it on reserve. The other day it took me over twenty minutes to get my spHO to start after I ran out of fuel. This would have been embarrassing if I had been on the trail. I believe it would cost around $.99 to incorporate and would save on many starters!!!
4. New radiator grill that is durable yet you can take off in seconds to wash the radiator. And how about once you take the grill off in the quick seconds, the radiator swings out for easy cleaning like on the new tractors.
5. Digital dash w/mph/tach/engine temp
6. Dual rear tailights, Honda may not have a brake light, but at least they have normal lights, a polaris is not a motorcycle, so why would it just have one in the back?
7. Make the plastic easier to come off, the sides are a hassle and to get to the radiator cap you almost have to rip pry and scratch it to death.
8. Make them submergable up to the top of the gastank, I can't count how many people are modifying them to do this as it is, why not just make them from the factory for it! Or offer an optional snorkel package for us people that push them to the limits
9. I really hope Polaris reads this one!!!
Come out with the Diesel again, but this time it needs to be a TWO-STROKE DIESEL!!! The demand for a diesel is really quite high, but nobody is going to buy one if it only goes 35mph!!! They should have known that when they first built them. If anyone knows, a 2-stroke diesel is much like a gas 2-stroke, but DIESEL POWER! This diesel would have just as much if not more RPM than the 500HO. It would probably rate around 30hp and have double the torque of the 500HO. It would still be capable of the 30MPG and best of all, it would go just as fast as the Sportsman. I'll bet if they came out with the above model, they would outsell the old diesel 10 fold!!!
fyi: 2-stroke diesel would not be fuel mix w/oil, would have seperate oil tank and recycle oil like a 4-stroke
10. ditto what everyone else said!!!

Put those quads on a diet! My 400, if it weighed in at 350, would destroy anything on the market, in stock trim.

all you have to do on the magnum and sportsman to get all 3 lights workin at once is to put the switch in the middle between hi and lo... it works great but it is a little tricky at first.
