I have a 99 trailblazer. I've installed a 38mm tmx mikuni carb, K&N filtercharger, clutch kit from Hot Seat Performance and a pipe from a 400 sport with a DG silencer. The difference is night and day.

 

I am totally happy with my 99 Scrambler 500 and I am impressed with Polaris for the ingenuity of a machine that has only been in production for a little over 3 years. I have had no problems with this machine at all. The only repairs I have done where because of serious crashes and mishaps. My bike landed upside down from 15 feet in the air and did 3 end over end rolls going almost full speed and the only thing I broke was the master cylinder ($90) and the bike even started right up. Sure the bars and steering post were bent but I rode with them like that for 6 months before I decided to fix it. The plastic is a little scratched too. I had the bike completely under water twice when I flipped into a lake once and a river crossing got too deep and I drifted into the deeper water. Surprisingly the bike is somewhat buoyant and will not sink completely. I tipped the bike over to empty all the water from the PVT case and anywhere else it filled up in, then let it down and started it up. Like before it started right up. Sure it spit and coughed for about a half hour and would not move but after the engine was hot for a while and the belt dried I drove it back to the campsite. A couple of electrical glitches the next day but it was fine from then on.

I have seen a my friend's 99 Yamaha Banshee fall over backwards trying to follow me up a steep hill climb and bend the frame. I have also seen my other friend's 99 Honda 300ex roll over sideways a few times and medium speeds and bend a spindle, control arm headlight and bracket, rim and other minor components. He spent almost $1000 to fix it and it's still F**ked up.

This machine is super tough and I am sure other Polari are as quality as my bike is.
