This makes the motor feel a little sluggish at first, which probably has more to do with the old style CVT system rather than the engine.
#Scrambler 500 crack
We like the 500cc engine, but it takes the CVT a moment or two to catch up when you crack the throttle open. Unlike most true Utility ATVs, however, the transmission does not feature a Low working gear. Mated to the engine is a CVT transmission offering Forward, Reverse, and Neutral, and new riders will appreciate the simplicity. The Scrambler engine is a liquid cooled, 4 stroke mill fed by a 40mm Mikuni carburetor rather than EFI. At a portly claimed dry weight of 559 pounds, the Scrambler is no light girl, so let’s hope that's not too often! At the front is a nice, good sized bumper that does a good job of protecting front end components but also provides excellent hand holds for anytime you need to wrestle the Scrambler around. The front of the Scrambler is more like a utility ATV with shaft drive, dual disc brakes, and MacPherson struts offering 8.2 inches of travel. True to its sporty nature, at the rear Polaris gave the Scrambler a steel swingarm, a single shock, disc brakes, a solid axle, and chain drive with a super easy to use eccentric chain adjustment system. Underneath the bodywork, the Scrambler 500 4x4 rides on a steel tube chassis which Polaris beefed up in 2010. Actually the entire Scrambler would qualify as time tested by anyone’s definition, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Originally equipped as a 400cc two-stroke, today the Scrambler 500 4x4 gets down the trail with a time tested, tried and true, 500cc four stroke engine. The Polaris Scrambler was introduced to bridge the gap between pure sport ATVs and utility models by offering some of the benefits of both. It all sounds like a tale that begins with: “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away…” Sport & Utility Basics
Single cylinder, 400cc engines were the big bore powerhouses of the day. The Honda 400EX, the Yamaha YFZ 450R and the Can-Am Outlander 800 weren't even on the drawing board, and custom built chassis ruled the racetrack, while the utility quad world was heavy on the utility side. Before it there were only two ATV categories, sport and utility. When it was introduced almost two decades ago in 1995, the Polaris Scrambler 400 made tracks into fresh territory.
