2010 Vector LTX GT top speeds

[dexter]

Hi all... wondering if my vector is slower than should be. I am topping out consistently at 93-95mph and I have a new belt, clean clutches. sled has 8,000 miles.

Am I where I should be for this sled??

I have the 05.. I've had it 102 on the dream meter... That's about 21mph on GPS... MM.

The new speedometers are more accurate than old (100 on my speedometer is more like 90 gps). So your readings sound reasonable to me. Plus snow conditions make a huge difference. There's not a lot of 120-130hp sleds that won't pull more than 100 stock anymore. Bigger tracks, taller seating positions, weight distribution, and tall suspensions seem to all play a role. I think only the Apex models in Yamaha's lineup are seeing real speeds over 100 on the trail.

Actually Max I'd bet the farm you are low 90's on a GPS. Speedo on those vintage Vectors are in the area of 10 mph high. I know....have I one!

Do you own a GPS for your auto? If so.take it with you in a coat pocket and see what.it tells you. Make sure you clear the top speed already logged.

My 14 LTX speedo is 5 mph fast at top end. Best i.have seen so far in perfect condition and even a bit downhill is 94.8 GPS and 99 on the speedo.

thanks guys... I know its not going to run like my warrior did at top speed, but was hoping to see 100 at some point.

I have topped mine out at 168km/hr on speedo(105mph) when I ran out of lake. spring day, 4 deg cel, and about 1/2" snow on a perfectly packed and smooth lake.
