Yup, I'm not sure what all they had for spare parts but they had a belt and plug kits that I know they used. They replaced it trail side and still beat me back to the hotel but we took considerably different routes. I was also travelling with a Honda Rancher that topped out at 50.
If I were a betting man and they come out with a "sport" model some year it's going to have the I4wd and hill assist in it. It's being currently tested in the utility LE models some have now I figure.

Sorry to butt in this thread but you guys are bringing up tuning. My buddy just bought a pioneer 1000 and the dealer told him for 200 dollars he can get it re programmed to get about 10 more mph. What is this dealer doing to gain another 10mph? Dealer told him it would run about 77-79 mph. Just wondering what this dealer is talking about.

I think the dealer is out of his mind, the trails I ride 20 mph is way too fast!

You need to find out more about that.. but sounds like bs. Is this something the dealer is doing?

I think they didn't know what they were talking about. I could see a couple without more power added but it is limited in many other ways as well. That limiter is a safety feature and I can only imagine the liability a dealer would face.

Not to mention all the tail you'd pull with 10 more hp!! No man could handle that much ass!
Nice. The whiney one I have only turns about 6000 rpm to go 50mph on stock 27's. I wish I could "program" it to run about 3500 rpm at 50mph.
Dealer must be putting some "tall tires on" and have a big tailwind with that programmer is all I can figure.

Well I don't have any more info I was just curious as to the validity. And the crazy thing is it's not the first time I've heard it from someone and they don't know each other. The dealer is mckibben Honda in Winter Haven FL. If anyone wants to find out more info. I seriously doubt it's anything besides bs from sales guy but I thought if it was real maybe one of you guys would know about it.

Without putting in "taller" gears AND increasing HP, that ain't happening. Too many RPMs and not enough HP. Mine seems to be geared perfectly for max HP at a given RPM. If there is no head-wind and no hills and it's not too hot, my P1K will bump the rev limiter. But only after a long while!

I put the cam in when I get to ride with some friends and know what it does performance wise I will post results right now if my butt meter is right it is the BEST mod I ever did to this machine!
This whole story about the Polaris breaking a belt in first 30 miles sounds completely made up to me!
Polaris has never had any SxS with an aluminum belt cover for starters! Artic Cat has always had aluminum clutch covers though?
Belt damage is almost alway the result of poor driving- high range when it should be low range. Hell I've seen idiots smoke there belt loading it on the trailer taking delivery!
At least changing a damaged belt is only a 10min fix and only around $199.00 lesson.
Making up stories to trash another brand to make your favorite brand sound better is wrong!
I have both a P1k5 and Can-Am x3, and have put over 15,000 miles on Polaris RZR's and I can tell you without a doubt when the terrain gets really steep and super technical I always let my friends drive my belt drive machines and I take the Pioneer because it's clutches are so fragile!!!
Just speaking the truth here!

I feel the same way brother. The new Ranger 1000xp has a 30% larger belt and other driveline improvements. It's gonna be interesting to see how idiot-proof those are gonna be. BTW... My Ranger 570 has 7500 miles with the original belt!

Anyone call the dealer this am? I might try to call service and ask them.

I think it would depend on the dealer?
My local dealer supposedly has a dyno and tuning on site. I haven't laid eyes on it, so I cannot confirm or deny.
Following copy/paste from their website.

I've seen this awhile back, and was super interested. Was even gonna get some of those sweet 01 stickers made up. I have an orange P3. Seems if they add the programmer, with the 30" tires to get the speed past 70. I've also seen where it raises the rev limiter 1000 rpms somewhere I'll see if I can't locate it. This would help get the top speed past 70 as well.
Let's hear about this Africa Twin cam...?
