Polaris Sportsman 500 Or 700: Which Is Faster?

[@Hammerback0]

That 500 has larger than factory tires it looks like?

[@TheATVHustle]

I believe 2” larger than factory.

[@Hammerback0]

Thought so, my 05 500 HO will get to 55 pretty quickly on blacktop even with interco vampire II tires (stock overall height) but in sand it would be a $hitshow. Thanks for response.

[@TheATVHustle]

@@Hammerback0 the tires on the 700 aren’t great in the sand either.

[@Hammerback0]

it looked like a "spinfest"🤣 my buddy has an 02 sportsman 700 twin, and as mentioned my 500 HO is an 05. His sounds totally different than mine, but hes having trouble breaking belts when he goes full throttle, he wont listen to me when i tell him we need to check his clutch alignment and see how his belt rides on the secondary, he has a junkyard of atvs and just throws another old used belt on it and goes again. The flywheel shed the magnets and destroyed the stator, we just got it replaced, hope u never have to buy a flywheel for the 700!! Used 300.00! The 500 is around 100 new (aftermarket) 700 parts are stupid high! (Price one pays to have all that powa!)🤣

Man, anytime you put bigger tires on your quad, you loose power, not worth the swap !

I'm guessing the speedo still works but behind the front right tire the sensor quit working

[@TheATVHustle]

The actual speedo was the issue on mine.

[@WesleyChase-by5jp]

@TheATVHustle Oh, the sensor was bad on mine so that's what I assumed it was

[@TheATVHustle]

@@WesleyChase-by5jp it usually is the culprit

[@TexasRedneck]

when are you doing a youtube meet up ride? :D

[@TheATVHustle]

Your the only one I know that’s local 😅 your welcome to come ride but we’re always pretty short term notice when we’re going.

[@TexasRedneck]

@@TheATVHustle haha I figured. Look like your up on the red river?

[@TheATVHustle]

@@TexasRedneck yep it’s the best place to ride in my opinion lol

[@TexasRedneck]

@@TheATVHustle I'll have to go and check it out. Is it an offroad park or just find a spot and go?
