Hey guys, u know my old beuty polaris =)
I was wondering how much horsepower is it in it?
It's says that it's a 488cc so is it then a Rotax?

Thank u guys

Rotax's are ski-doo motors. Im pretty sure polaris made their own motors or still do. And if i had to guess i bet that 488 has about 60hp.

I'd say same. 70 if your lucky.

Suzuki builds most polaris engines. 65 hp tops.

Um, no they don't. Suzuki builds the Arctic Cat engines.

Polarias uses the Fugi motor.
My guess on the 488 would be about 70 hp.
