imo efi is better reponse and is a little more power, but there again i think the 02's would out run the newer ones by the sounds of it.

I have a 500X2 and with the EFI and better clutching it will outrun my buddies lighter 500 HOs!</end quote></div>



Do you mean for top end, bottom end, or both?



A lot of guys, who have clutched, once they pull a head of their buddy back off rather than seeing if he has equal or better top end.</end quote></div>


I get them about 1 bike length out of the hole and another 1-2 up to 55 and we top out around 55. Short runs maybe a 1/4 mile at the longest.
I do have the HC weights and have them set to get max rpm. This mod gave me a bike length. It will also beat my Can Am 400 now.

I think the older 500HOs are geared higher, maybe he could get me in a longer 1+ mile race.

 

My buddy has a '03 500 H.O. I have ridden it plenty of times, it really gets out of the hole quick. A lot quicker then the '03 400 I have. That one rolled down a hill and has been totaled by the insurance company. I think I can fix it for less but I have wanted a 500 since the day I bought the 400. I just don't want to spend the money to get a 500 EFI and still get beat by him.

 

I guess that I have the best of both worlds, my 08 X2 says; 500 H.O. & EFI!!!

 

i have never had any probs with my efi and i have put alot of hours on my wheeler and if have a couole of buddys with efi and have never had any probs with theres the 800 is grat

 

I didnt even answer the topic in my last reply, The EFI will outrun and out Accelerate the Carbed model of the showroom floor

Most definitely. Been thinking about clutching but Mr. Ritter said I should do all exhaust first. Then clutch kit.

I have to say the EFI is better. In a straight run I can beat the ATP with the 500HO by a couple of lengths. They are relatively similar weight and length wize.

 

So your main concern is being beat by another 500?

Dunno, but for 1k you could sure get some nice accessories.
