Old question,I know,what kind of top speeds are you warrior guys seeing?I keep reading about VERY high #s.I bought a left over 04 in feb,now has 820 miles on it.The sled gets to 100 well then hits a wall! Mostly 102-103 is it! Is this normal?I know conditions vary,but I feel a glassy frozen lake surface should be perfect! What should I be looking for? If anything. Thanks alot! Jay
 
This past weekend: 105-106 on loose, sticky, packy snow
previous speeds: glare ice: 133 on speedo, plowed track: 121 speedo (109 on radar)

conditions are huge. not just snow, but a little bump here and there nocks speed off too. You're right about getting 100 very well, it takes the right conditions to climb high after that.
 
warrior top speed

my 04 warrior got a top speed of 107 mph. on lake hard pack snow then i put on yamaha graphite hyfax runners next day with same conditions i went 124 mph. but i stopped to talk about going that fast and melted my runners to track i had to pick up sled and step on track to move it was welded to track i bought new non yamaha hyfax now back to 107 mph. i will replace soon with graphite hi perf. ones
 
04 Warrior 112 MPH on lakes in Canada first year.

This year I Installed SLP anti-wear pads, O/S/O primary spring, shimmed secondary, and NGK dual tipped plugs, now seeing 10600-10700 RPM with topend of 123 MPH on speedo. :flag:
 
fastest I've seen on hardpack snow 108 on speedo. Most of time to 100 fast struggles to get much better. stock 05 runs great! studdog
 
Ive owned to RX warriors and never got either of them to go over 120 on the dreameter.. AND I HELD IT FOR MILES>>>

Only guys seing over 130 were on glared ice or very thin snow..
 
my mountain will hit 100 on the speedo and still be pulling very hard. my speedo is very accurate as well. my speedo is even with my friends Vertical Escape, and his speedo is even with a radar, so mine is very accurate. Point being, if a mountain with a 151" track can hit 100 and still pull hard, then a warrior with a 136 and shorter lugs should do much more than that
 
When I first got my 05 I could pull 124-129 one a thin coated lake. Since then the best I have seen is in the 105-111 range, but I have never found the same conditions since.

yup! then put noss on it and you'll see 130/140 for a little while. off the bottle 110/120 depends on conditions. ;)!
 
Last year I hit 128 on ice. This year, after installing an 05 Bender Racing Pipe, I hit 134 on ice - actually it was down the middle of a road. :Rockon: Next year with an 06 Attack - who knows? However, I will be faster than 4fighter's stock RX1 and thats what matters.
 
My buddy srxsrule hot 126 on out first trip with low snow condition's on an old railroad bed.The sled was bone stock with about I think 30-50 miles on it.
 
yep..my stocker is crazy fast. That first ride it had 26 miles on it when I got it up to 126. 1400 miles after yesterday and the high for the year was 128. Not bad for a 136 with reverse! ===SRXSRULE===
