How to Find Great Deals on Hi-Performance Polaris ATV Parts.
Polaris ATV
performance parts are always some of the first things new owners think
about buying. Once you get used to your new ride you start thinking -
if only that clutch hooked up a little harder - if only I had just a little more power - if only the suspension was just a little smoother - if only the brakes stopped just a little shorter. Yeah - we've all been there!
So
what's the cure? There isn't one - you have to give in to the urge.
Like Tim Allen used to say "More Power"! The trick is knowing which
parts you need and where to find the best deals. That's where we come
in.
Polaris ATV Performance Parts Guide.Performance
parts can enhance most Polaris ATVs if done right - but you can also
end up with an ATV that performs worse if you use the wrong combination
of parts!
In this Guide we'll tell you about the ATV parts that
work the best and the combinations that will give you the best
performance gains for the money.
Air Filter
- High flow air filters and air boxes are a good way to gain some
performance. But be careful if you ride in dusty areas - that gain in
air flow can come at the expense of good filtering. A K & N type filter works well if you keep them oiled. A special "pre-filter" cover can be used in extremely dusty conditions.
Exhaust System -
You can always gain some power with a free flowing exhaust system.
Aftermarket systems are usually lighter that stock so you can save a
few pounds too. Don't think that more noise equals more power - a well
engineered system can make more power without much more noise than
stock.
CDI Ignition - Hi
performance electronic ignition box will change stock ignition curves
and raise the rpm limit. If you don't use good quality fuel they can
cause detonation and/or overheating. The higher rpm limit puts more
responsibility on you not to over rev the engine, which could cause
damage.
Hi-performance Chip
- The purpose of a performance chip is to allow modifications to the
standard computer fuel map. This only works on models with electronic
fuel injection. They can normally improve throttle response and smooth
any "flat spots" out as the engine goes through its" rev range. One of
the most popular Polaris ATV performance parts upgrades.
Moderate gains in horsepower and torque are possible - but usually with the sacrifice of fuel mileage. Clutch
- Kits to modify clutch performance are popular. They usually have
different springs and weights to change the engagement characteristics
of the clutch in a CVT type transmission. Most ATV clutch kits will
improve acceleration at higher speeds but make the ATV more difficult
to control at slow speeds.
Suspension
- Upgrading your shocks can make a dramatic improvement to the ride and
handling of an ATV. They aren't cheap, but compared to buying another
ATV they could be.
Long travel kits are expensive and pretty
complicated to install. They normally include replacement control arms,
longer shocks, and extended cables and brake lines. They can provide a
huge gain in overall performance with much better traction and handling.
Brakes
- The most common brake upgrade is high performance pads. If you're
more serious there are upgrade kits with bigger rotors and calipers. As
long as you're riding on dirt, I don't think anything like that should
be necessary. This is one area where you don't gain much with Polaris
ATV performance parts.
Engine modifications
- We're talking internal mods here. That's really something best left
to experts. The most common mods are big bore piston kits and
hi-performance cams. A big bore kit is a good way to get more power
without sacrificing rideability. Cams will usually move the power band
higher in the rev range at the sacrifice of low end power.
