    Single shot 146 XTX 23Top ---> 24Top? .. will it have enough mustard?

    What about the guys like me who want to cruise long distance high mile days but can't do it on a stock xtx with its low gearing. 40-45mph 7,000 / 50-55 mph 8000 rpm Is it common for anyone to replace the 23 top with a 24? From a 1.61 to 1.55 doesn't sound like much, or is it? 1) Will...

    2012apex hyfax problems

    so the other day I noticed this myself and curious to what you have learned. I bought this xtx second hand with 2000 mile on it and it had the dupont's. They looked cooked when I got it but figured I could get the rest of the season out of it. , I ran it for a short ride and they were...

    2016 Apex XTX high RPM, low cruise speed

    Thank you for the valuable input. I thought I read in a post here about apex clutching etc.. that it "won't have the power to pull a 24 top gear" . On another note, Is its more common to change the top or the bottom gear? I had a Hartman 136 kit in my SXviper of which included a...

    2016 Apex XTX high RPM, low cruise speed

    I spoke to Ulmer early on and he mentioned he did not have a ton of experience with that model and said his kits were more for performance and would actually raise the RPM. In regard to the drivers. I am not leading to believe they were originally 8 tooth and most certainly are still in there...

    2016 Apex XTX high RPM, low cruise speed

    That sounds on par with exactly what I am experiencing. I did try both 3-3 and 1-6, but did not really do much. Im not asking for mega speed or arm stretch pull, Im just merely looking for a little further shift out so I am not ringing the snot out of the motor just to make some miles.

    2016 Apex XTX high RPM, low cruise speed

    Thanks for the reply. Seeing yours is stock with the 1.25, mine was stock with the 1.75. With consideration the track is now a 1.35, and has the 8 tooth drivers yielding a 1.6 ratio of drivers:secondary revolutions , I am doing a fair bit worse than your numbers. To me it just seems to...

    2016 Apex XTX high RPM, low cruise speed

    Has anyone come up with a recipe to dial back the XTX be it gearing or clutching to make it more suited for distance riding? Having a heck of a time getting any support on this matter. All posts on FB pretty much lead to a dead end.

    2016 Apex XTX high RPM, low cruise speed

    What are expected cruise RPMS for an xtx with: 1.35 Ice attack (1.75 removed) 8 tooth drivers (stock was 7 tooth) stock clutch, stock gears 1.61 ratio confirmed. Snow trackers I am seeing crappy distance to needing fuel compared to an 03 sx viper. All bearings are good. 8DN belt is brand...
