HMF Releases New Exhaust Systems
Polaris Sportsman 550 HMF Exhaust System
Series Available: Swamp and Swamp XL Series
System: Slip On System
Starting MSRP:Swamp: $399.95 | Swamp XL: $369.95
Materials: Stainless Steel
Shape: Round
The 2010 Polaris Sportsman 550 EFI X2is a shear utility machine that features a Single-Cylinder 4-Stroke SOHC engine. We brought the Sportsman 550 into the HMF shop and started R&D on it. After testing, we were able to come up with a Swamp and Swamp XL exhaust that not only increases horse power, but it broadened the torque immensely. 
About the Swamp Series: The HMF Swamp Series was designed specifically for quads that need pure, all out horsepower. Through the deep, muddy waters to the starting line of the GNCC, the Swamp Series blisters power that gives you absolute control. It features a 5″ stainless steel exhaust and produces very little sound dB over stock. And with the optional HMF Quiet Core, most machines can see a dB decrease over stock!
About the Swamp XL Series: The cousin of the Swamp Series, the Swamp XL Series delivers the same insane power as the Swamp Series but with an unrestricted sound level. If you want to be heard tearing up the track or busting through the woods, the XL is the pipe your looking for. Also in a 5″ stainless steel can, this beast will give you all the power and noise you can handle.
Polaris Ranger HMF Exhaust System
Series Available: Swamp Series & Swamp XL Series
System: Slip On
Starting MSRP: $369.95
Materials: Stainless Steel
Shape: Round
Colors: None
The definition of Xtreme Performance changes with every innovation. The RANGER 800 XP® is primarily intended for recreational use and this year Polaris powered up the RANGER XP® with 15% more horsepower and a top speed of 53 mph (85.3 kph). With the HMF Swamp Series installed, we picked up huge horse power gains and kept the sound levels 1dB over the stock pipe.

Polaris pioneered the youth game, and now we’re reinventing it. The
2010 RANGER RZR 170 is the world’s first Youth Side-By-Side Vehicle. It’s styled after the adult Ranger RZR and has a parent-adjustable speed limiter plus many other safety features. It comes with two youth helmets. No operators 12 years old and under. Key features are a 169cc 4-Stroke Engine, Automatic PTV Transmission With Reverse, and Bucket Seats With 3-Point Seat Belts. We developed a Performance Series exhaust for the Polaris RZR 170 because it picked up enough horse power and torque for this mini-UTV and gave it a unique sound.
Pitster Pro HMF Exhaust System
Series Available: Performance Series
System: Full System
Starting MSRP: $349.95
Materials: Aluminum
Shape: Round

With this 4″ exhaust, we were able to increase the horse power and torque while giving the bike
a completely unique sound.
About the HMF Performance Series: Setting the standard for power and value, the HMF Performance Series has been tested for over a decade with endless championships. The specially designed, unrestricted core allows the exhaust to increase power evenly throughout the entire power curve. The Performance Series has the signature HMF sound with industry-leading end cap and color options, giving you a completely custom look and sound.

I built an aluminum housing that holds my electronics and battery (some cutting of the plastics was done) and I’m running straight UNI Carb Filter and crankcase breather. It seems to be running lean at the current moment, do I need to re-jet the quad? Has anyone removed their stock airbox and run straight filter? If so what jet kit did you use? OR did you just adjust the pilot screw out (or in) to compensate for the lean fuel mixture? |
HMF 2010 Competition Series Review
I just received the HMF 2010 Competition Series pipe. When I received the box it was in perfect condition, and upon opening the box I found that HMF actually spends time packing the box. It was carefully wrapped and secured so there was no movement. From first glance you can tell the superior craftsmanship, beautiful welds and sealing job. This pipe looks flawless. From the extremely shiny end cap to the nice black powder coat on the
canister, this pipe looks like a work of art. Included with the pipe were 2 different end pieces. I thought this was really cool. Other companies force you to spend additional money on pieces to lower the db output. HMF gives you three different sound level options with the purchase of the pipe. Additional hardware for mounting was also included
Installation was pretty straight forward. Since I just got the slip on I left my head pipe attached to the motor. The HMF midpipe slid very nicely over the exsisting head pipe. HMF also included a very nice and sturdy clamp to secure the midpipe to the head pipe. When mounting the silencer I had to use stock hardware for the mounting bracket on the midpipe. Worked beautifully with no headache. The bracket that is on the pipe lined up perfect with the mounting point on the frame. The bracket on the canister was a bit more tricky. I had to use the longer bolt and spacer that HMF supplied. I had to really force the pipe towards the frame to get the pipe close to the bracket. Once I got the pipe fully mounted I was impressed on the tight fit and the look it added to my TRX450R compared to my previous aftermarket pipe.
HMF pipes are known for. When I stabbed the throttle it is an absolutely beautiful growl. I couldn’t believe the power gains over my previous 2 Brothers pipe. My first ride with it was at the local MX track. The pipe was a bit louder than my 2 Brothers pipe but the deep throaty sound was a welcoming sound. The pipe is very sharp looking, I had three people that day asking me where I had picked it up. I have this pipe pared up with a Stage 2 cam and all I can say is WOW! I had the same cam installed with my previous pipe but did not feel anything close to the same pull and power.
My overall thoughts on the HMF 2010 Competition Series are that they spent a lot of time designing this pipe. From the extreme good looks of the pipe to the mean sounding growl this pipe has it all. I was absolutely amazed at the gains my quad received from installing just the slip on. I believe that HMF created an absolute work of art with this pipe.

SnowSport® All Terrain Plow Review
The folks over at Agricover were nice enough to supply us with a SnowSport® All Terrain Plow for review. Before we even got our hands on this plow, looking it over on their website impressed us. The first thing we noticed with this plow was the fact that, there is no need for a winch or lift lever. This was very intriguing, as most plow setups will require a winch or a lever to operate.
We received the plow and mount for our 2006 Yamaha Grizzly in 2 separate boxes, both easy enough to carry. The aluminum 60” plow is not that heavy at all and came with a hard rubber 6-7” strip, which is actually the lower 3rd of the plow, and surface contact. The plow required a few holes, that we drilled with a standard drill bit, 6 to be exact. Drilling through the aluminum was pretty easy. We also needed to mount up the plow, so the best idea would be to install the ATV mount first, which we didn’t.
So we opened the other box with the mount for our Grizzly, and looked it all over with the supplied instructions. This quad already has a winch mounted, so we were concerned about the two brackets working together, due to the fact that they use the same frame holes. There was no need to worry; the Plow mount bracket went right behind the winch bracket. There was an extra step in removing the winch bracket, to get the plow bracket in. This plow mount is pretty simple, it uses a hardened steel frame and secures to the ATV frame in the front and over the frame in the rear. It was one bracket with 2 bolts, and the rest was a slide in assembly, secured by lock pins. Very nice and very easy.
Now that we had our mount installed on our Grizzly, we brought over our assembled plow. The blow bracket slides right into the plow mount and is also held with a lock pin. The bracket has a pivot pin, which allows us to pivot the plow to the left or right. We chose to keep it in the center position for now. Once we had the bracket installed on the mount, it was as easy as lifting the plow and sliding it onto the bracket. That is it. There is a position you can leave the plow raised for riding without contact, or leave it completely down to the ground, for when plowing is done.
The directions were simple enough to follow and installation took about 1 hour. I like the fact that the plow easily comes off for when you want to hit the trails, and mounts up for when snow cleaning is needed. It’s light weight as opposed to other plows on the market.
We got hit with an early December snowfall, just in time to run a preliminary test with our Grizzly. We plowed a stretch of 150 feet on a right pivot with 4” on the ground. No problem at all. In reverse, the plow basically disengages and gets pulled with you across the plowed surface. Engaging a forward gear, straightens the plow for pushing. It’s just that simple, no winch or lever needed. We ran our quad up a 30 degree hill with the plow engaged through the 4” of snow and over a grassy surface. The grass and dirt where untouched, as it glided without issue, pushing the snow out of our way. Bumps and ground imperfections were no match for this plow, as it glided smoothly over them with out an issue.
So far we are impressed with the SnowSport® All Terrain Plow, but we’ll be testing it more, with the next big North East winter storm. If you are in the market for an ATV plow, we highly recommend the SnowSport® All Terrain Plow.

Chad George Clinches UTV Championship
With FUNCO Built Kawasaki Teryx
RIALTO, CA (12/07/09) – Chad George, in his FUNCO built factory-backed Kawasaki Teryx, wrapped up his 3rd consecutive UTV championship, as the young racer claimed 5 wins, 8 podium finishes and 5 pole positions during the 2009 Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series!
The season finally at Primm Motorsports Complex in Primm, Nevada was tense as the UTV Modified championship was still undecided. Leading the points race, the FUNCO team knew they had to create some breathing room in front of the fierce competition. Saturday’s round went as planned with Chad racing his #624 FUNCO built Kawasaki Teryx to the top, for his 5th season win. Saturday’s win meant Chad could race the season’s final race conservatively, placing 7th and securing the 2009 Lucas Oil Off-Road Championship.
When Chad was asked about this year’s success he exclaimed “The FUNCO built Kawasaki Teryx was phenomenal all year! My team had the answer for every track and I raced as hard as I could. The rougher the tracks got, the more fun I had because our FUNCO/King Shocks suspension and C&G Performance motor package were amazing! I can’t thank everyone enough for their support this year, it’s been a crazy year, and here we are, Champions!”
An enthusiastic FUNCO Team Manger, Grant George stated “It’s a great feeling knowing that your team was the best over a long season of hard racing, and doing so with formidable competition. Kawasaki has the baddest UTV on the market! Our race program is top notch and we wouldn’t be here without our awesome partners.”
Bruce Stjernstrom.

MOTOWOZ Releases New XC Piggyback Shocks
Shocks Feature Exclusive ‘Tucked-in’ Configuration, XC Springs
Ham Lake, MN — MOTOWOZ Performance Systems is proud to announce the release of its new front piggyback shocks for cross-country ATV racing. The XC Piggyback Shock features an exclusive “tucked-in” reservoir configuration to provide an enhanced fit and improved durability and XC-specific springs.
“The reservoir is packaged much closer to the main body of the shock,” explained Jim Jaworski, MOTOWOZ president. “We engineered the shock this way because our experience has shown most racers will run some type of a long-travel A-arm. With the more typical piggyback design, the shock’s reservoir can hit the A-arm in the backside of the ball joint area as the shock moves deeper into its travel. Our compact design eliminates that problem.”
Many competitive shock brands incorporate remote reservoirs for use on ATVs set up for cross-country racing. MOTOWOZ took that knowledge into account and also knows many cross-country A-arms have an integrated adjustment area or device to alter the machine’s caster. Jaworski said this caster-altering mechanism consumes more valuable space and increases the likelihood of contact with a shock’s reservoir. “Our tucked-in setup also makes for a more refined package as opposed to exposed remote reservoirs. They stick out less, require less components during the bolt-on stage and are less likely to make contact with another quad or obstacle on the trail.”
The MOTOWOZ XC Piggyback shock features Adjustable Spring Progression (ASP), which gives the end user or shock tuner endless adjustment scenarios for racing off-road. The shocks are adjustable for compression and rebound and include a particular triple-rate XC Spring package that has been specifically calibrated for cross-country applications.
“Our compression and rebound adjuster effectively changes the shock’s internal settings and alters how the oil flows as the shock travels through its various strokes. Both adjusters also work in conjunction with relief valves that make them velocity sensitive,” explained Jaworski. “With our tunable, progressive spring package you can truly control the point where each spring takes over during the suspension process. In addition, you can make these adjustments with the shocks mounted to your quad, which ultimately saves you time and energy.”

MOTOWOZ XC Piggyback Shock
Made from honed hydraulic cylinder tubing, the XC Piggyback bodies are CNC machined and then polished and plated for a distinguished appearance and durable finish. Like all MOTOWOZ shocks, the XC Piggyback model includes the company’s distinctive design traits: Stub Acme threads, aircraft-quality billet aluminum parts, 5/8-inch oversized shaft that is ground and hard chromed, triple-seal configuration, high-grade oil, Velocity Sensitive Valving (VSV), hard-anodized aluminum piston and precision stamped valve discs.
MOTOWOZ XC Piggyback Retail Price: $1,349
“Winning is important and that’s why I strive to eliminate potential problem areas. A rider’s abilities can only go as far as the equipment. If I can make it possible for the rider to focus on racing and not product flaws, then I’ve done my part of the equation and given them a better chance to win. And I feel rewarded when I see my customers standing on the podium and earning titles,” said Jaworski.

The day was beautiful. The trail was just damp enough to keep the dust down. Friends were laughing in the background. Off-road engines were roaring past here
and there.
Could this day get any better? We soon discovered it could. Having a new Polaris RZR as our vehicle of choice turned an already awesome day into an unforgettable one as we took on the challenge of the Brown Mountains.
Standing Out in the Crowd
From the time we pulled into the parking lot, the Pink RZR was the center of attention.
Now when you think PINK 4-wheeler, especially a side-x-side, you think “Oh no, you didn’t!” but in fact, we did. When I first saw it, I thought of the old Barbie Mobiles from years ago. However, when I climbed in, turned the key and fired up those 800ccs, I knew immediately, this was no Barbie Mobile! So did everyone else. Later in the day, some of the other riders dubbed it the Pink Panther. By the end of the day, everyone understood why THIS machine is the keynote equipment used in the 2009 OHV Tour for a Cure.

The Legendary Mountain
Brown Mountain OHV Park was the perfect place to test out this new machine. Steeped in mystery, this mountain range is legendary, especially among off-road enthusiasts. Everyone who goes there has heard some of the old folklore that passes down through the generations. There are tales of ancient maidens and warriors who still travel these hills in the deep of night looking for answers, truths, and each other. Some of the legends say this is the place to find the answers to whatever you are seeking. That is exactly what we found that day. The truth is, the RZR can take on any challenge it encounters and conquer it, including the formidable Brown Mountains.
The Trail System
Brown Mountain OHV Park has an intricate system of trails for all difficulty ratings. There is definitely something for everyone. My favorite loop is going up the main trail (#1) from the trailhead, taking it all the way to the top and circling back around on trail #8. That is the route I took first with the RZR to get used to this new machine. I was impressed from the first turn.
During the day, we hit each of the other trails, one by one, until we had conquered them all except the ones labeled for bikes only. The RZR did phenomenally well on all of them.

The RZR
Immediately, I knew the RZR came endowed with power, endurance, strength, and durability unmatched by any other side-x-side I had ever tested. Its more compact size in width and length allowed me to go anywhere I would normally go on my ATV. The low center of gravity gained by putting the motor behind the seat instead of under it provides greater stability than many of the other side-x-sides in its class. That design also keeps its overall height more comparable to that of an ATV allowing it to go under more obstacles out on the trail, while still allowing for great ground clearance. The relative low weight of the RZR coupled with its powerful big bore 800 EFI Engine gives it the “oomph” to tackle even the most challenging trails.
Perfect Combination
From that day forward, the RZR and the OHV Tour for a Cure have worked together seamlessly to increase positive awareness about the off-road community and to raise funds for some great cancer-related charities. Furthermore, since people often associate the color pink with cancer research, this new LE version with the Passion Pink Graphics Kit leaves nothing to be desired.

As Always, remember to TREAD lightly and always leave the trail better than you found it.
