i have a stock 09 800 dragon with only a slp can and a 1 3/4 paddle track, im wondering if its worth getting a full slp exhaust and slp clutching, and going to 19/42 gearing, stock gearing is 25/40, seems like a big jump in gearing to me, but im normally only riding in the powder and i want a good setup. iv seen that gearing with lots of long tracks on here, but i wanna know how it works with a 121. havent found much with short tracks.
800 dragon setup
- Thread starter prorider10
- Start date
66-44.42 helix with a 140-240 (red/black) secondary spring with 23-42 gearing, or has anyone ran this setup?
No one has any advise?
I run Dalton QAP3s, Almond/Blue Primary Spring, stock secondary and a 66/44/46 Helix and a 24t too gear.
1.5" Track, SLP PIPE, Power. Commander and high flow air intake kit.
My D8 flat out rips and will run with and beat any other manufacturers 800s unless they have engine work done. Beats 1000s as well unless they have engine work done.
I find this setup works very well for me ditch banging, bashing drifts and lining up to race as well.

Oh and check on www.hardcoresledder.com there seems to be more info on there for the 121s
Would that setup work as good on mine since i dont have pipeing or a programmer, and would the rpms alot diff, can you hold your own against long tracks in the powder with that setup also?
Midwest U.P. powder? Do Rkteks top end piston/head kit. leave the exhaust stock, stretch it to 136 2" Challenger Extreme paddle if it will fit. Gear it at or under 80mph to keep the track from exploding.. start with 10-68 weights? Then try your helix, should be good enough.
What length track are you trying to keep up with? If you need more track than 136, buy the RMK.

I have no problem keeping up with anything i love my sled its light and i cqn toss it around, but since i put this bigger track on its kinda doggy, so i thought about gearing and clutching it to get it more snapier and more bottom end
maybe i wasnt clear on this, it does fine with the track, id just like more bottom end if possible, sorry if i was misleading you guys
Well this is just my take , If you,re riding in pow , with the set up you have now
You are probably spinning a lot .
Might seem like it,s lacking bottom end. With a longer track and longer lugs you would feel like it pulls like a monster on the bottom end.
i think im just gonna go with a diff top gear and see what it does and go from there, thanks for all the sugestions
