hey just bought a 1999 Polaris 400 scrambler and wondering what people think about them for trail riding? also if you can get a rack for the back and a box or something?
The old scramblers are a blast in the trails. They can get a little rough if you ride a lot of rocks or really rutted trails, but do more than fine on everything else. There are racks available for the Scramblers. Just keep an eye on eBay and pick up a used one in decent shape.
Rick Ritter used to be the man for 400 Scrambler tips and mods, company was Ritter Cycle Racing. Nit sure if he's around anymore, but they had a chain tensioner that was a must for non concentric drive Scramblers.
I thought the scramblers were made for trails an track riding....maybe not the big technical stuff an deep mud...but was designed as a trail rider....I see them on the trails alot..little screaming machines...those kids fly...big air machines...one of the kids offered me to take for a ride...but did not...to loud for me....nice machines
I had a 400 that was trail ported and matched to the pipe. Also had milled head and lightened flywheel. It made about 55hp at the crank.
