I recently purchased a 2002 500 scrambler 4x4 and also have a 2001 sportsman 500. I've noticed the low end power on the scrambler is no where near as good as the sportsman. Is this difference in the clutching or gearing I assume? It seems like the scrambler revs high but just doesn't get the power to the wheels that good....can anybody help

 

They come clutched similarly stock.Some one may have changed the clutching in the Scrambler.But the Sprorsman could be geared lower than the Scrammy in the trannny

 

They have the same engine including the carb, and the same clutch too, I believe, but the Scrambler should be a lot quicker. I can only guess what's wrong.

 

i would venture to guess that the tranny is geared differently since the sportsman is designed to tow more... just my guess

 

ok thanks for the replys...could anyone tell me the gearing differences between the two? right now the sportsman is more fun to drive then the scrambler [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
