A quick heads up for all of you side-x-side owners/lovers out there looking to do some mods. I have rebuilt many top ends to these units this last season due to "pod" air filters!!!
The intake system is usually in the worst conceivable spot in relation to getting a fresh, clean air supply.
Probably the best stock location that I have noticed is on the T-rex by Kawasaki-between the seats up high.
The aftermarket 'high flow' filters are NOT doing an adequate job of delivering clean air. (One Yamaha had an end gap of over 5/8" inch on the piston rings due to the ground out cylinder bore!)
The best aftermarket intake that I have seen and installed is called an S&S Intake, it was for a Polaris RzR 800. It is a snorkel type that relocates the "pod" filter to between the seats in its own air box, and includes a foam pre-filter on the inlet that is rear-facing. (I located this intake after doing a major top-end overhaul due to the K&N filter box allowing the motor to get 'dusted' ruining 2 valve seats, and the Nikasil in the bores.) We can obtain and install this intake system for you if an air intake mod is a must.
The first stages of power improvement, in my opinion, come from a aftermarket exhaust, and a clutch spring/weight change-It really wakes up most of the manufactures' side-x-sides.
