Polaris ATV- increased speed, better fuel consumption

Polaris performance is something that weighs heavily on the minds of people who have purchased a Polaris ATV. After all, an ATV is an expensive purchase, so once it's bought and all set up, who wouldn't want to have increased speed, better fuel consumption, and generally better performance? Well, the good news is that you can do several things to increase the performance of your Polaris ATV. This article will go over some brief tips for increasing Polaris performance.

First, let it be said that most ATV accessories will not increase performance. Items like clothing, storage boxes, bags, ATV wheels, fuel storage devices, bottle holders, fender bags and baskets can help add some comfort and function to your hardcore, rugged all terrain vehicle ride, but they won't do much for increasing its performance. To ramp up the performance of your Polaris, think more along the lines of performance piping.

Performance piping can increase your Polaris performance by up to twenty-five percent! If you swap up the typical foam filter in favor of a gauze filter, you'll find that your ATV will experience a better flow rate.
Engine upgrades can really do a lot for your Polaris performance. Consider upgrading your standard all terrain vehicle engine to a four stroke engine. Make sure to add in the high compression piston choices and a high performance cam, and you'll find your ATV is ready to leap to life at the slightest touch of your foot to the gas pedal. But before you think about Polaris performance, make sure you have chosen the right ATV for the plans you wish to execute with it.
If you plan on having an ATV for work purposes, such as for use on a farm or with construction, then you'll want to purchase a utility ATV. But if you're looking for play, or will be using your ATV in a situation where it'll be going through and over all sorts of terrain, then a sports ATV is the better choice.
Another consideration for Polaris performance is the choice of two wheel drive versus four wheel drive. If your ATV will be going up and down slopes, over rocky terrain and over hard ground, then four wheel drive is the best choice. But if you simply want speed and to ride your ATV around on relatively flat stretches of terrain, then a two wheel drive ATV will provide you with better performance.
