Got Smoked by a Kawi Brute….

Well, my buddy/neighbor down the road stopped over a week or so ago with his Brute Force, tons of miles and little larger than stock ITP mud lites . Well, he smoked my ’10 Polaris 800, stock muffler gutted and outlet relocated to rear, clutch kit and K&N air filter, stock tires yet. Any way I can get more power? Thinking tires would help too. Only have about 450 miles on it. This was on gravel road, he got out right away and stayed there. Thanks.

manual/electrical 4×4 engage switch

hey folks, im in the market for a second atv for friends n family to ride.
I really want the 570 sp.

I prefer a 4×4 that is switchable, not automatic.

is the 4×4 engagement of the 570 a solenoid or clutch?

the question basically is, can it be manually engaged or dis engaged? I want to decide this, not the bike.

thanks jason
