I have had 4x4 two strokes before, a sportsman 400 and a 350L 4x4. the motors on those machines that i had had no problems. I dont see why they dont put 2 strokers in the bigger speed machines like the DS 650 and others.. they run cooler, faster, and have more snap. also the 2 stroke motors are more reliable ( no valves, no oil in crank, or oil filter, no timing chain or push rods, no valve cover, and other things) also 2 strokes weigh less than the big 4 strokes. but like i say the 4 strokes have there place, in pulling and low end power.that is what should be in the 4x4's like they are but in the speed machines they should try to look at two strokes like in the banchee.. (for performance they use 2 strokes....a good example is SNOWMOBILES!!i mean 110mph in a 600cc machine and 600 pounds and the drag on a big track...thats a two stroke for yah!)

Yep that why top fuel dragsters all use glorified 2 strokes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] ( Have any idea how moch power they squeeze out of a fairly small 4 stroke?

Everyone is making 4-strokes because they are basically being forced to. Every company has to have a certain level of "air quality" amongst thier line of machines to pass the regulations. Some states, like California, are very strict. That being the case, it is better for the companies to focus thier energy on building a 4-stroke and get as much power out of them as possible from the start instead of having to change thier line-up in the future if they would have used a 2-stroke. I agree, I also love 2-strokes...nothing smells better!

it is because if they focus making new 2 stroke in the future with the new technology upcoming,the "standards" will take it.
if they want to get as much power from their 4stroke engines,we will end up to 800-900 cc motor quads that can only put out 60 hp...

I hope Polaris will make a 2 stroke manual clutch sport machine. In a few years I might be looking at another quad. If they had no new machines in that time, my choice would either be between a Predator and a Banshee. Gotta love the sound and smell of a 2 stroke.

EPA,SIERRA CLUB and the rest of the earth 1st eco *****,these groups pander to the goverment and have lots of money.In some ways rush Limbaugh said it best Socialists posing and using environmentalism as a front and cover up as there real agenda is hidden.REV motorcycles has in the works a brand new 2 stroke emission legal dirtbike in the works.REV is a new company albit a small 1 American made and will custom make bikes for each individuals set up.Excpect prices to be higher then UJMs probably like a Cannondale.

Put a DFI system on a 2 stroke and they run cleaner then 4 strokes.
