Anybody beside me ride a 325 here????

 

yea, and i like it very well accept for the top end. tring to find out what modifacations i can do to my 325 to get just a little more performance. thought about trading it for a different 4wheeler but i have test drove others and can't find one that feels as good as my 325. know about any mod's for the 325?

I own one. Its been a very dependable machine. It's got 1600 miles on it with no problems. Im a little dissapointed with the top end on mine also. It will top out at 45

 

I too am a bit dissapointed with the top end....about 40 on a flat straight away....peaked at 43 one time going down hill!!!As per my gps unit....Don't know of any reliable mods out there except going with a 500 Magnum...By the way are yall still running the 489 titan's???

 

I really like mine except for the common problem of top end performance. I run premium gas and this seems to help a little.

It seems to me that the engine is not working that hard (torque wise) and that we should be able to change a spring in the clutches so that it would increase the final drive ratio. My machine will go much faster down a hill than it will on flat ground, so I know the drive ratio is not the same.

Anybody have any ideas on this?

 

My 325 is the same. It would be intresting to run it down the road with the clutch cover off and see how high the belt runs in the front pully.
For what I do around the farm it has all the power I need in low range. I put on a 50" blade and it does fine in fresh snow.

Ok guys, first I don't like belt drives on quads, but thats just my opinion. If you want to know if your cvt is shifting out fully, by this I mean that the belt is riding to the top of the drive clutch at wide open throttle, simply put a mark on the clutch face with a magic marker. Now run the machine for awhile at WOT, then look to see how much of the mark is erased by the belt. BY the way you can't change the ratio of a cvt, thats not what springs, ramps and helixes do. They simply adjust the rate of shift out, or in other words how fast or slow the machine "shifts out". If your belt is riding to the top of the clutch, you are stuck with the ratio you have. If not, you can change any number of things in either the driven clutch or the drive clutch to get it there. Once there you can not gain mph, unless you can get the motor to pull more rpms. Hope this helps.

 

I ment to say you could not change the final ratio, once the belt is at the top of the primary clutch. I tried to edit but it doesn't work.

 

Bob 4X4, That marker thing is a good idea. Where I work we have many of the Kawaski mules. The clutches on these have had shims added between the shives of the primary drive to keep the belt from going to the top of the pully thus preventing the machine form running too fast in the plant. I was wondering if Polaris has done something like that on the 325. I need to get it in the shop and take a look one of these days.
