| Re: sportsman 500's they are just as reliable. the only difference is the efi are easier to start cold and there is no need for jetting for different altitudes. but they are both bulletproof bikes.

| Re: sportsman 500's true efi does get better gas milage. when my dad had his 500 carb the only real difference i noticed was the efi had more snap in the throttle.

| Re: sportsman 500's I bought my Polaris 500 EFI brand new and it's great. I pop a lot of wheelies with it for fun and I am not a small fellow by any means. |

| Re: sportsman 500's 80 miles on 14L of fuel this past weekend on our 2007 Sportsman 500's they are EFI. Wish sleds were that good on fuel with the high price of gas now. |

| Re: sportsman 500's i got a question, im thinking about getting a 500 efi polaris , im pretty well mind set on polaris , i like the way they look and ride , just something about them, but any ways what im wondering is how much of a tire can i get away with without putting a lift under it , the tires i want for it , are out laws and if i have to go with a lift i would only want to put 1" under it , im new at this ( can i get out laws that fit stock rims ) |

| Re: sportsman 500's you can go 28" outlaws or any tire without a lift. i have no rubbing problem with my bugs. the laws will fit on stock rims fine. you will need wheel spacers though so that the tires don't rub the strut and the sway bar in the rear. 1" will be fine.
