Rate Topic Display Mode Topic Options Author Message Anonymous Posted 3/29/2004 4:36:48 PM   Group: Forum Members Last Login: 3/5/2007 10:44:31 AM Posts: -1,167, Visits: 2 Does anyone know why Polaris lowered the fuel capacity from 5.25 gallons to 4.25 gallons of the 500 Polaris Sportsman? I am now forced to carry extra gas and hate that they did this.

My 351 Ford could almost do that.

I can only get 60 miles on a tankful. That claim of 200 miles plus is bogus.
