    New Honda Talon to launch Nov 27th 2018!

    They were actually working with Textron to get a car, then some of their antics in public ruined that for them. Then their response on their "review" cut their own throat. If you watch their review - Look at the yxz's exhaust and see if you can see whats missing in that "stock" car. Then when...

    Has the Fat Lady Sung?

    Moderation is what makes or breaks forums IMO. You get someone with a bias whether it be oem brand or aftermarket brand that tries constantly discrediting your info you are sharing and it drives people away. Not saying that moderation is the case here but it is with others. I've removed...

    Elka Stage 5 shocks for Rzr 1000 xp

    Social media has taken over where a forum was. Its far easier to get answers on there than it is on forums especially when you are in a hurry and in some cases deal with a forum moderator that wants to control the content/moderate until the forum is to their personal liking. Point in case ...

    XX wins V2R

    Even fuel/ignition tuning with a full exhaust and a intake change yields great results. 16hp over stock in the 4-5k rpm range with a 143 peak. It wakes it up drastically.

    XX wins V2R

    Stock internals, I am not sure if he was running the stage 2 Speedwerx kit or not. Its surprising how much you can gain out of the car with clutching alone.

    XX wins V2R

    Rays car had suspension springs/valving done. Thats it no long travel , no after market arms then modifications to pass BITD safety tech (a pillar down bar door bars etc). The cage was a stock cage with some minor additions. Race inspired is due to it pretty much taking the shape and modular...

    Arctic Cat Anyone know of issues with valves failing in the x motor?

    Its a sintered valve issue - fuel, jumped timing, or just age can cause it. Lots of deals on heads and what not out there to be hand - you'll need the head and valve cover - they're a matched machined piece.

    Get Ready....

    Not doubting yours or anyone's experience - Romero bro's ran the entire b1k with the same clutches uncovered, The application is different than previous cars so a new setup that no one here has drove may mean different situations then previously.

    Get Ready....

    You dont need the cover on unless you're submerging the belt in water/mud. They're running without because its one less thing to take off when/if they have to repair or adjust anything. The XX will use the same style clutches the sleds are running, Adam can tell you big clutches =...

    On the XX plan on 135 baseline hp , Textron is very conservative on their HP# that they advertise - they want to offer less but give more - they dont want to exaggerate and have someone put egg on their face. When looking at the sled stuff - Dont get too caught up in the dyno's reading, D&D...

    Is Yamaha better at track/short course than Polaris?

    Owning multiple cars (yxz, old wildcat, and having a next gen cat of sorts) I'll chime in here. The Yxz is a great car if you're a good driver. Its a glorified sr1 really. The Yxz has its weak points - frames,stock suspension valving, oem clutch setup is a joke. but is a blast to drive. it...

    What do you mean Joey, when someone comes out with a 5 link car with 3 more inches of travel and just leap frogged the competition with 5 hp and Bold new graphics its not a "game changer" lol I'm shocked. I found that its hit and miss with that and its largely attributed to the dealers - I...

    RGM builds ALL the speedcats, the frame is based off a OEM cat frame but its not a frame from cat. AC builds nothing on the cars in TRF. RGM is also handling all the clutching - no one from the factory R&D staff was involved. Nothing is hush hush about the turbo - it was said Monday at the...

    Sidewinder duty cycles the injectors before the motor hits 250 its like 243 at the crank and it starts to go lean if I remember right This is much more then the yxz motor its already at 130 stock , then with the exhaust and fuel tune we saw 150's then you throw a turbo into that equation and...

    While the africa twin is a very potent motor package its not designed for a 1500lb utv. castings, gears, gear ratios etc, are all too light weight for a utv. Imo (which means nothing) it should always be a motor then either a divorced cvt or a divorced geared transmission like Yamaha did.

    I agree fully, the problem is the rules are too vague and need to be clean cut that it should be a OEM production FI utv engine. Gray areas always cause problems in the end. We ran into this at TORC last year and it caused alot of heart burn for some.
