Default got a new sportman 700 pros and cons????? plez!

got a new 02 sportman 700 the other week...it was a smokin deal! it had 5 miles on it and the other owner got it in june!!!

took it home and notice it was leaking coolant...called up the local dealer and i guess there is a recall on all 700 for water pumps or covers. got it fixed for free and took it out riding.. WOW i love it,hauls *****, slides nice, climbs walls, and its a donut machine!!!

so anybody have anything i else i should need to know??? can i get a slip on or K&N filter maybe big wheel kits etc...

Nice quad.
Yeah, you can get a filter, pipe and jet kit but I hear most guys say clutching is ket with the 700. There are also lots of wheels and tires to choose from depending on your riding style.

How's your fuel mileage?

The best mod to make on any Polaris is the clutch. With a white primary spring and lighter weights the clutch will engage at a higher rpm giving you a quicker take-off. Mods to the secondary will let you "downshift", that is, back off on the throttle and get a higher rpm, like downshifting.
Point is, the Polaris CVT is light years ahead of everybody else, with a vast amount of knowledge and aftermarket parts out there to do whatever you want with it, from poke along to full out drag racing.
