Don't know yet, weathers bad. i'll probably be able to get out tomorrow.

Installed some back-up lights today. Not wired yet. I'm going to put a switch in my VDP speaker-bar, which I do not have yet...........

looking better and better bro,

does the rangers have those goofy wheel wells on the inside of the bed like a rhino?

No little Smith they don't , it's just flat. No humps in the bed.

Looking good Pate! I boxed up your parts last night. I will ship them after work.

53.7 to 58.3 with the spacer removed, and that was with the Parachute plastic windshield............It would hit real close to 60 with out the window........With the parts from Roger and one or two other small things, some programming,65 is possible..............

nice FREE improvement.

53.7 to 58.3

Wow! That is a large heavy SxS for 60mph. I am impressed. Heck - I've ridden a Popo 800 Sportman and I doubt that would do over 65mph.

Correction -- I am very impressed!!!!

The problem is getting there. Took about 1/2 mile I would guess. From 0 to 45, it's decently quick, not RZR quick, but the front-end rises like a RZR. After that it just climbs slowly. I never hit the limiter tho before I ran out of room. The motor needs to breathe more. The exhaust is very restrictive, so's the intake. ...............I have been lucky enough to be chosen to be a tester for Procoms new programmable ECU for the 800. So we'll see what happens. The softwares pretty user friendly, just click and drag. I've got a decent idea about maps and such, but no expert by any means. An A/F ratio gauge is in my future....

I'm interested to see what you can do with that 800 Jimbo. Always seemed to me that the Popo 800 should make alot more hp. Feels like a dog compared to the Rotax 800.

I wanna see you make that XP go 70mph! I bet you can do it! That will make me want one of those.

How does the new Po-Po run in comparison to your Rhino bro?

I'll be the first to tell you the Rhino is not fast. Reliable Yes. Fast No.

The XP would kill a stock Rhino 700. In fact ,I witnessd a XP-500 at the dealership kill a Rhino 700 in a little short drag-race. Now my old 686 Rhino, it would be close.

i am waiting on the warranty on mine to run out so i can install a CDI which says it will go 55

with a ECU change it will only go 50 , unless you have a sheave...

Been there done that....

If you get one Little Smith, don't get a DynaTek. They are still having issues with the 700 interceptor unit. Seems they cannot figure out whats wrong with some of them. I bought one for my neighbors 700, it was fine for a few hundred miles,then started acting-up. I sent it back to Dyna, they re-flashed it, and now it's acting up again..........The 660 ones were bullit-proof, but there's trouble with the 700s.

I would have to see a Rhino gets beat by an XP 500 to believe it. The Polaris 500's are decent engines but low hp. As for the XP-800 I fully believe that. The Rhino engine is a fairly low hp unit -- good reliable engine but not a dragster.

I believe it. That Rapid Reaction Clutch in the PoPo gets it off the line fast. That is where the Rhino is really handicapped much more so than the engine as far as a straight line drag is concerned.

I did go for a ride without the sway-bar today, can you say EEEEEKKKKK!!!!!! I thought I was going to turn-over the first 5mph turn....It got better turn by turn tho, I just was'nt used to that much lean. But talk about smooth, wow!!!

I did get back home and move all 4 shocks to the outer mounting points and did not touch the preload. We'll see what the result is.

Test an Tune.....
