600 Engine Upgrade - Speculation?

[volcano buster]

Anyone know if Polaris will be adding any more power to the 600 engine anytime soon? Seems like they haven't done much to this motor since they went to the H.O. and EFI.

I hope they do I want a lightweight crank for the 600!!!

Hmmm, must be a big secret.

I think it is likely that at some point we wil see a 600 that is Based off the 800 bottom end, like the IQR 600 engine. It would streamline things for Polaris in terms of parts which should save them money. power would be up compared to the current 600, the 600R engine makes 140 hp which would make a class leading and sweet 600. I also think the 600 is due for some of those nifty electronic exhaust valves to improve the fuel mileage.
