Hi

I have a 1999 sportsman 500 and want to get more torc on take off, also would like it to have a bit more power

What should I be looking at buying?

 

Pipe!!! Thats going to be a good investment for improved power throughout the power band. Also you can change out your sprocket for more torq at the bottem end. But you'll loose in the top doing that. It just depends on $$$$$ you want invest in your 500

 

If it is belt driven you can get a bigger primary spring. Alot of us are doing it and loving it. Search for Ritter Cycles and give him a call, he will hook you up.

 

thanks guys

What sprocket?

Most pipes only give you a <u>slight advantage</u> overall, or are good only at a certain fraction of the power curve and are <u>worse overall</u>. They SOUND like they're making a lot of power, but most aren't worth the price unless you are doing other mods too, like re-jetting the carb.

A clutch kit will give you what you want. There are several to choose from. Many come with better quality weights than stock too. Some even have a new helix with different angles. It all depends on how much you want to spend, but the clutch is the only logical place to start.

 

Thanks

I was thinking about putting a clutch kit it, but I don't know what one is good for what I'm looking for. Does anyone know any good sites? Or anywhere in Canada?

 

Google "Polaris ATV clutch kits" or "Heel Clicker" or just cut and paste any of these addresses.
