Hi,
Owner of a 1998 RMK 600 for quite a while but never rode it because it was my wife's sled and I rode a 99 RMK 700.
Question for RMK 600 owners: Is the sled supposed to be so peaky in its power band? I rode it this year for first time in a while and was surprised how hard it was to ride this sled on the trail slow (my wife rides slow). Sled clutch engages nice and all is good until 5500 rpm at speed about 25mph. At those two points the smallest application of throttle causes a disproportionate amount of engine power output and acceleration.
Is this normal? The best I can explain it is that the sled feels like it is coming on the pipe. Could this be a CVT problem or is this normal? My 99 RMK 700 didn't have this problem and had fairly linear power output without any major surprises in its delivery.
Would love to hear from others to see if this is normal or something I can fix. I bought wife a newer fuel injected sled which has linear power output with no surprises but would like to get this old RMK 600 figured out.
Thanks!
Drew
