THe little tube is a vent tube for the rear dif.

 

penland is doing alot of work on it not to be racing it. lol

 

Congrat's on the new KQ man, it looks awesome!!!! I'm really anxious to see some shootouts between the new KQ, BF, and sp800. i originally thought the sp800 might lag behind the other two, but after reading some reviews it appears it might just give them a run for their money. I have a feeling though when it comes to all around they'll all be very close, but the KQ may edge out the other two.

 

Yeah it turns out all that weight keeps it flat on the ground. Polaris wouldn't be half as bad if it weren't for all the odd, unconvential stuff they use. i mean forget the weight for a minute, i dont like the 4x4 engagment, the engine breaking, 2-valve OHV engine and somthin i just found out in the DW review is one break for all 4 tires??? thats why i just stick with the big 4.

 

ya know, that's funny cause i used to feel the same way about the polaris 4x4 engagement and single lever breaking. but then we got one, and i did some testing of it. i wondered how much the tires would have to spin before it would sense it and kick in the front wheels. let me tell you they don't even spin 1/4 a turn and it kicks the front in, it's great! also i was unsure about how i'd like singer lever breaking, but i actually like it. it's nice not having to mess with more than one lever when you want to break, and you get full breaking power. i actually prefer the single lever breaking now.

 

hmmm, yeah i guess it would take some getting used to and then it wouldn't be to bad. its just, in my opinion, i would rather control the engagment because i do alot of sporty riding and the fronts would be engaged all the time. and i'd rather be able to control the breaks for slides and things like that. like in one example i can think of, lets say i go to do a burn out. no front break lever? and when i do try it, the front kick in and wear out the front breaks. but from what i read in polaris forums they dont care much about that. but based on my riding, then i dont think i would really like it.

 

You know polaris obviously dosen't care if the quad is heavy so why don't they do this, leave the single lever braking on the left and put a front brake lever on the right and leave the brake pedal for rear braking. That would really sway some people.

 

According to buyers and magazine shootouts, Polaris is probably making some of the strongest engines in the industry at this time. However, while the power is definitely there, it's kind of softened a little bit by the immense weight. If they could get their weight down to a more competitive standpoint, think about how that 800 EFI Twin could REALLY feel.......

 

Cool! Congrats!

 

Lance the new quad looks great. Holler when you bring it over to Eric's house and I'll go riding with yas. I picked up a near stock '89 250r a fews weeks ago. Here's the gameplan..... me, you and Eric.... race all the gncc's next season !! wishfull thinking huh, hell I can't get Eric aka "ItialianMusky" to leave his backyard let alone race in Texas and Florida [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] .

And to reply to the guy who asked where Winfield is located, its east central Pa, right along the Susquhanna river, south of Williamsport and north of Harrisburg.
