PSN reached out to Gilomen Innovations to work with them on a special tune to complement the port work and exhaust. While they were able to find extra power with motor work, they believe that the true secret to great power is in tuning. They are a perfect color match and provide great protection in case of a rogue tree jumping out at them on the trail or having a strap break while pulling a machine back to the trailer. HMF was also able to supply Defender bumpers.

HMF has a Performance Series dual exhaust that has a great sound that allows it to be trail-driven without annoying other users but makes the driver want to put the pedal to the floor to hear it sing.
The new engine was running hard and ready to put the power to the ground, but with air flowing better in the head, PSN needed to be able to get the air out better. Seeing the PSN General railing these woods lets you imagine that Cameron Dickie is out looking for one of the PSN team cars at a Midwest off-road race.
With the last bolt torqued to spec, they installed it back into the General. Winderosa was able to provide every gasket needed to reseal the motor. They rebuilt the ported head in-house with new valve guides, valves, and cut valve seats. The head is where they knew to find more power, so they sent it to Millennium Technologies to have it ported to allow more flow. For the cylinders, they wanted a stock bore and compression, and Cylinder Works offers a kit with Vertex pistons that would keep the reliability.

Starting from the bottom up, they went with Hot Rods’ full replacement crankshaft with bearings. While PSN generally builds OEM-spec replacement engines with a full warranty, they wanted to find some extra power for the General but have it reliable. With the engine low on compression in one cylinder, they pulled the engine and decided to replace everything so that they wouldn’t face any more problems. Power Sports Nation began as a source for quality used parts, but now has an extensive rebuild shop that remanufactures engines, transmissions and differentials. With the wearable parts fixed, the crew was confident that the suspension and driveline were better than new.
For the driveline they installed All Balls U-joints in the driveshaft, and to make sure the power got to the wheels, they used All Balls 8Ball extreme-duty axles. Starting with new wheel bearings for every wheel, they moved inboard to the pivot bushings on every A-arm, then replaced the ball joints to make sure the suspension parts would be just as tight as new. All Balls doesn’t require ordering individual parts but has all-inclusive kits. They chose All Balls because they could easily order every part needed from one place. They started with the main driveline and suspension bearings, bushings and all wearable parts, and went with parts they trust. PSN started with a full tear-down to assess what needed attention and how they could improve on what they had to work with. The closer you get to the Missouri River, the steeper the drops are. This is a mild climb, but the PSN General handled all the climbing we felt comfortable doing. After thinking about it for so long, they knew exactly what to do when it fell into their hands. The family had owned Rangers and RZRs, so a General build was something they had wanted to do for a while. In addition to routine wear from 8000 hard miles, the General’s 1000cc twin had one cylinder with low compression. When one of the dealers they work with took a tired 2016 General in trade, they knew they had a great starting point. They were also looking for a machine that would be fun to hit trails with-fun enough that taking the race machines trail driving wouldn’t be a temptation. They had specific ideas in mind for a UTV to act as a support vehicle when the boys are racing the various UTV off-road series in the Midwest. With decades of experience dissecting used machines to sell, rebuild and restore their parts for sale, the company is intimate with the strengths and weaknesses of popular machines. The Dickie family, who own Power Sports Nation (PSN) in Nebraska, had a very different plan in mind. No matter the type of UTV that you are considering, it is typical for an enthusiast to add all the extras they desire when selecting a new machine at the dealer. If you want to play/hunt/camp but need to convince the family or the taxman that you are buying a tool, the General is ideal. It offers RZR-like performance and suspension in a trail-friendly package that is ready and able to work. The machine has been a sales success for good reason. The General is the commanding officer in the army of sport utility UTVs that Polaris builds.
