approximate Power-toWeight Ratios of all the Sport Quads !!!
well I have owned this and that brand also and none have remained stk (yes even the POS 89 warrior LOL) but where talking STK here so lets get back on track.
BTW it would seem to me that all the mags info is useless and I am not thinking too much more for the mfgs info either.
And I agree with 2stroke4ever in that whatever I own or like should be further up the list LMAO

this should tell you that with eqaul weight and equal skilled riders, who should out accelerate the other on an asphalt drag race... top speed MAY be a different story, due to gearing

What about the polaris scrambler 400?? is that the same as the sport 400?? This site for aftermarket polaris parts has the hp somewhat elevated over the polaris sport 400. So I thought maybe the scrambler 400 was different. Probably the same engine though.

And how about this aftermarket site for the scrambler 500 are they way off or is there some truth to their figures??

I can't believe this thread roars back to life again..lol. I have a couple of questions about the thread.
Do we know all these hp numbers are from the same type of dyno? (I thought one Superflow dynos give lower numbers)
Some of the weights are a little off the new kawi 700 I thought listed at 516 pounds and I thought for 2002 yamaha changed some things on the raptor for durability and it raised the dry weight to 406 (There site doesn't reflect this). We will also see if Bombardier really gets the DS650 down to 430 pounds. I've heard 24hp and 27hp for a stock 400ex but never 29hp and only around 18 for a warrior. Just my .02 but I'm no expert.

wow this thread sticks around for a while when it comes down to it the only way to truely test would be to take one dyno and one weight machine weight them all wet and get there hp numbers then that would tell you everytime its going to be a little different so nothing can be perfect.

True. Most of the weights and HP readings are not consistent. Sure, different Dyno machine changes the HP of the same quad but the weights dry or wet vary greatly on these lists. I saw my quad (tecate 4) on these lists with a weight that was like 10-15 lbs heavier than my owners manual or older magazine tests say. who can say whats true anymore?? no one!

When i bought my exhaust for my 500 scrambler that i used to own, there was a dyno chart showing 38hp stock and 42 with full exhaust. Mine with exhaust beat my brothers stock ex, and you have to figure the auto tranny slows it down a bit for drag racing. Their site also showed 36 for a stock 400 scram. Im not sure if its still on there, this was 2 years ago.
