New 2007 Outlaw 500 IRS

[NRPkfx400]

Hi my dad just got a new 2007 Polaris Outlaw 500 IRS for 3900$. I was wondering what are some things we should look for in this quad. For example how does it do crossing water or are there some maintanence ( how ever you spell it) things we should pay special attention too. Thanks Nick

have a dealer check to make sure the recalls were done.

then buy a JD jet kit and correct the jetting.

Ride, refuel, repeat.

of course after a little while you will want to go faster.......

JD Jetting does not make a kit for the 500. I use the Dynojet kit but some prefer mikuni jets.

What is wrong with the stock jetting?

[outlaw450mxr]

nothing if the 500 is completly stock, you guys are thinking of the 525 and 450's, the ktm engines have wrong jetting, not the old 500's.

It is something I made to help everyone out. I have had 2 06 500's and a 07 525 now.

I added a Dynojet jet kit, a K&N filter and an EHS Racing air box cover (for going through water). The jetting and the filter added a ton of power, and I haven't used the lid cover yet. I trail rid in MN and we have a lot of water holes and mine would stall until I dried the air cleaner when going through water. I am also putting a 13 gear front sprocket one when it comes in.

The jet kit, filter and sprocket costs about $140. The air box cover is $110. I definitely recommend the first three. It even helped started when cold.

will that air lid with the little slit in the rear of it be a problem when crossing ft deep water?

[T-Bone143]

It's totally sealed. Check it out at http://www.ehsracing.com/products/outlaw_airbox_EHS.htm

It seams to be a decent design. I've read it can tear easily, but the replacement fabric is only $15.

I meant the stock air lid but that one looks pretty cool.

Keep in mind they are not submarines and it is not a utility quad. Its a sport quad with IRS. You get in too deep of water and it will get in your airbox/motor.

[NRPkfx400]

ya i know it will get into the air box and motor thats why im asking how the stock air lid is. I took the seat off and noticed the slit in it and was a little worried about that.

[T-Bone143]

The stock air lid is NOT good for water. We trail ride in MN quite a bit when it's wet and that is the reason I got the new lid. If you go slow through water you'll be fine, but I usually am busting through sliding sideways and I was constantly pulling over letting the water drip-dry off my air cleaner. It might be a poor design, but my buddies Wolverine 450 does it too.

[NRPkfx400]

ya we usually go slow through the water cause we don't wana get a wave coming at us after we hit it.

[T-Bone143]

I'm usually out front and I hit the water as hard as I can. We also went through a mud hole with a hard bottom that came up to the top of the motor that was about 200 feet long and as soon as I came out the other side my wheeler die for about 10 minutes. That's the stuff we like to go through that's why I got the lid cover. All my buddies have crappy 4x4 sportsmans. They thought mine was a joke til they tried it now they all want to trade whenever they can
