Whats going on here - 09 XP Summit X

[SHERMAN]

What gearing?
What elevation?

20 tooth top- mostly around 6000'

Clicker 6 is the most inefficient setting possible. 6 will get you rpms's but no shift out and no track speed.

Bingo.

OT this is the reason your 800r is pulling harder at 7900 than 8100, you are just reving and not shifting. make it spin 8150 - 8200 and SHIFT (Shift being the key) and it will make a XP turning 7900 look like a turd.

I am 135 lbs. I ride an 09' 800 xp x. The other day I reset the top speed setting on the gauges just before I went up a steep hill to see what kind of track speed I was getting. When I stopped it said 65 mph top speed. Tried the same thing a few more times to see what it said, I got 65 two more times and 66 once. All I have done to this is sled is lightened it up some and put a cpi can on. Clicker 4, running 8200 rpm all day. 320 miles on original belt. I would have to say I am a happy customer so far. I don't know if I believe the top mph meter or not, but it is scary where it will climb!

i can't believe you'd put motor mods on for power and run stock clutching?? Change (or tune) clutching first so it is dialed for you and elevation you ride at, then add the power mods (head/pipe/whatever), then tune clutching to harness the extra power, one change at a time. Only way to tell you are making power. You don't have to spend alot of cash to dial in your sled.

This is an old story that you see all the time on here and other forums.....Jimmy added pipe/y-pipe/can for over a grand and John has stock set up and Johns is faster but Jimmy's sounds louder haha....need to get the power through the clutches and into the track.

Get a good clutch kit, Dynamo Joe can supply, Big John also, Wyoming TA and others on here are reputable guys that can rattle off exactly what you need to do and start at (as long as they get the details of sled and riding elevation/conditions). A stock sled with a calibrated and fully dialed clutch for your given altitude will usually beat the heck out of a heavily modded sled with poor clutching. Seen it again and again.

also be aware of your max track speed reading, it also keeps reading when you come down the hill....often you are coming down faster track speed than going up the hill. did that before, I was wondered how on earth i pulled 65 mph on my near stock 163 in bottomless snow??? oh yeah, free falling down the 1 km hill at mach 2.0 scary. These machines can scare the bejesus out of me....what a rush though.

135 lbs.!!!! Holy @rap man!. I weighed that when I was twelve. I wish I was that light. I wouldn't need any mods then.
