I saw 111 on the dream-o-meter on the trail last weekend. Haven't GPS verified yet.

Guy in our pack has a 2020 LE with a 1.6 Cobra with I-Grips, seen 116 on gps so far.

Told him to set the rear skid like Cat does to see the difference.

Heard from Jaret that the xtx 1.6 track is a 2 ply.

Are tuned guys changing gearing as I hear these as 24/50?
I ran 125mph on my extended SRX with a 146” Hurricane 1.75” tuned 300+

21/41 gearing with the srx unless you had changed. I kno the Yamaha 146 is a 2.86 pitch aswel as the 137 srx so your drivers would be the same.

Just spring powersurge ordered a 2022 xtx 146. I'm coming of an 18 rtx. I wanted the front end to be more playful. Really excited to try this sled compared to a 129, I know it will be a completely different sled. Now I need to decide on 250 tune or 275.

I ran the stock this year, Ill be running 250 next season. Honestly the power and snap is awesome, I just want to get rid of the Damn airbox leaking oil on my clutches. I do highly recommend the stingray spring, it's been a game changer for me. I'm sure other brands springs will work as well, but I decided on the stingray. I also recommend either tightening up the secondary spring or changing it out. My belt was squacking since new and at the end of the season I had some issues. Addressing the secondary spring from the beginning would have saved me at least 1 belt and some headache for sure.

Does the Stingray spring work good on the LTX LE with QSR's ?
Help the ride comfort and transfer ?
Or just steering effort ?

You will absolutely LOVE the machine. Did you order the LE or the SE? It felt sooo much snappier stock that my '18 137 did stock. Gearing and weight transfer I suppose. I just flashed the hurricane 270ss sm tune and Tapp clutch, only for spring to apparently arrive, so I guess I will have to wait to report back.....Just spring powersurge ordered a 2022 xtx 146.

Congrats!, it is a different animal then the R-TX, the skid is very compliant on the trails with the big QS3 rear shock and transfer is soo addicting. Corner to corner and 660' it would take a seriously built sled to leave an XTX

Thanks for the response! It's awesome someone from Yamaha directly reaching out, definitely makes me feel confident in the brand! Everything I read says great things about the XTX. Can't wait to feel the rush! I would also like to thank Yamaha Motorsports Facebook page, they really explained the difference in the LE and SE models, and helped me pick out the right sled.Congrats!, it is a different animal then the R-TX, the skid is very compliant on the trails with the big QS3 rear shock and transfer is soo addicting.

Ordered the LE due to the fact the SE has a 2" track and narrow front end. Both of those could be totally fine on trail I just wanted to play it safe for that kind of money lmao. I had the 250 tune with full dalton clutch kit on my 18, I think I wanna jump to 275hp with the longer track
