Texted one of my buddies in Quebec, he's calling to arrange your body cavity search. Figured you needed something to look forward to today. You're welcome...

Anything set up to max out top end at all costs will come at a cost in other areas no doubt. I haven't read any independent reviewers say it's clutched bad or anything about bad power delivery, acceleration etc. I don't agree with the guys here who are outraged their stock 600 doesn't top end like an 800. It's stock clutch calibration if you're a tuner and chasing gps numbers you shouldn't care how it's calibrated stock so why cry about it? The only stock clutched sled I own is the one I haven't rode yet. The video in this post said nothing bad about the clutching at all but if you listened to people here you'd think it should be the main topic of the entire video. Yet snowtrax praised the motor... Said it was great mid range and up top.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipping belts don’t produce track speed, snocross helixes don’t belong on 125hp trail sleds. It’s a joke of a calibration they threw together because they got it ok for the most part and didn’t want to put a couple hours of extra testing in it. I’ll bring a dragy with me when whatever snow there is left firms up next week and compare stock to everything else, I guarantee it doesn’t lose anything down low if just doesn’t hit a wall at 82mph now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I said there's a trade off. I remember when people made fun of Ricky for thinking his setups were the "best" for every kind of riding and terrain... For the trail riding I do, I want absolute maximum performance in the 30-60mph area with a premium on backshift. Any (good) top end calibration will suffer in the kind of trail riding I like. Speed running doesn't get me excited at all. Just having some fun with the people so pissed off about such a horrible stock clutch calibration. I assume to do some clutching to make a sled how I like so I don't mind if it's not perfect for me. I'd rather have a unique setup and maybe be one up on the masses anyway and I like tuning. Still snowtrax thought it was great, vast majority FB posts I see all love the performance. I don't think cat cares about the small minority of mph chasers and I don't blame them. Guess I just don't think it's as bad as some like to make it out to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
