Has anyone geared this sled down? I think mine (stock) is a bit weak on power and I don't want to start putting a bunch of mods on it. Is gearing a good option?
Gearing down '07 M1000

m1000
56/64 seems to me the best m1000.....that's one lower than an M8. Did m1000 with 162 pclaw track to 55/65 at christmas, boderline scarey, wow, what a launch, basiclly stock clutching, you'll find lots of belt and bog issues on the 1000 up and disappear with mtn gearing, stock they are road gearing, lazy and soft, and mega winn zapp clutch kits will not get you to what you expect from a sled with this kind of power..........that you can't find.
Cats clung to that theory for years, that a big motor needs tall gearing, for 25 years they have completely missed the boat on all the big motors they have ever produced by hamstringing them with TALLLLL GEARRRRING.

I have an 07 M1000 with DD lite geared 56/64 and really like it.
gearing down is a must.no reason for a 162 to be going ovr 100 mph
I agree with all above. I run the 56/64. Definately one of the best mods for this sled for mountain riding
