I have an 05 big bear pro and its an awesome toy. It takes all I throw at it , but I wish it could run 2wd and was a little faster. Dont get me wrong, its great on the trails, Im the one who pulls everyone out of the tough spots but I would like a little more top end. Polaris, Hondas, Arctic cats have all been on the other end of the hook, when it comes to low end power nothing beats a BIG BEAR.

Jeff, just cut about 6 one inch round holes in the airbox lid and you will find some more top end with out hurting the bottom end a bit. Simply get a one inch cutter for your drill and cut the holes on the edges of the lid so any possible water will stay away from the filter. I used a box of uni vents on my old BB and Kodiak and used rubber cement to fasten them in and for water proofing. I didn't use the foam inserts because they block too much of the air.

Sounds like you guys need to check out TPI valves.

I have been usign TPI's since 02, they are a great product.

Grizzhopper thanks for that link. They do appear to be a little spendy but it looks like they would work good.

The UNI-Vents cannot be closed, you have to put tape on them and hope it sticks. Depending on the slime that is on the lid at the moment.

The TPI can be slid closed and opened up again anytime you wish. If you need less air for richening the mixture, just slide one shut and your air wil be reduced.

Two TPI valves are the equivalant of 6 UNI's. Plenty.
