2008 Polaris Scrambler 500 4x4, 4x4 Sport ATV!! The Scrambler 500 is powered by Polaris 500 HO (high output) engine. The 500cc is a 4-stroke motor. It is brought to life by electric starting with an turn key style switch or a recoil mechanical backup. With its long heritage there is no fuel injection on this bad boy. Instead the air fuel mixture is handled by a 40mm Mikuni CV carburetor. Polaris set the standard for transmission configuration in this class and its competitors have followed suit. The Scrambler s fully automatic CVT transmission has a single forward range plus neutral and reverse. Switching between them is convenient thanks to the shifter located inboard on the right front fender. Final drive to the rear wheels is handled by a chain and sprocket setup with shaft drive transferring power to the fronts. The Polaris All-Wheel Drive system gives you the option of operating in either two or all wheel drive. While operating in AWD the front wheels don t engage until the rear end breaks traction. This allows for lighter steering effort with the front wheels engaging only when extra traction is needed. A switch located just above the thumb throttle selects between two and all-wheel drive. The Scrambler features a tubular steel chassis with McPherson strut front suspension and a solid axle swingarm monoshock design in the rear. Its suspension travel numbers are long. The front end had 8.2 inches of wheel movement with 10.5 in the rear. Front and rear brakes are applied via a single hand operated lever on the left side of the handlebars. Additionally, the foot brake on the right floorboard operates the rear brake independently. The Scrambler 500 also features full floor boards with raised foot pegs. Its handlebar mounted dual headlights can be independently aimed up or down, turn with the handlebars to always illuminate the direction in which you re headed and feature high and low beam settings. The 23×7-10 front and 22×11-10 rear tires offer decent size lugs with a reasonably low profile shape to balance traction and handling manners. The underside of the chassis looks gnarly and a plastic skid plate is used to cover any areas of the lower engine cases not covered by the frame. Heavy metal discs are mounted next to the rear sprocket and brake disc instead of using a standard rear swingarm skid plate. The metal discs have a slightly larger diameter then the brake rotor or sprocket, allowing the machine to drag over rocks or stumps without any of the more vulnerable rear hardware being damaged.
