Brand new srx does 200kph

[machc]

What studs (type and length) are you running? Stud pattern 2-4 or 3-3-3?

1.325 2-4

 

[Crossfire12]

I doubt 10mph MORE when broke in at that speed but its fast already no doubt. Awesome!

10 if you spin, or add 280 hp tune and gears!

 

[ROCKERDAN]

SRX gearing should be same as most previous. So its max will be 126gps, not gonna do 10mph above 120 obviously.

I dont doubt the sled will do 120gps, it should. Many guys ran 120gps on previous models with 1.25 tracks on a perfect day. So the SRX will get there easier with its 1" rip1 track and lowered susp. But still, i always post GPS pics when i talk top speeds, these posts without pics are easily claimed by many online, and never backed up....mostly DOO riders, so lets be sure to have proof here and keep those doo guys honest. After all track spin doesnt count.


Great news for sure for the best looking sled made to date. What you lose in mogul pounding ability and soft snow hook, you gain in lake/speed running, which was the goal of the SRX. These guys posting are speed guys, NOT TRAIL riders, so this is the perfect sled for them for sure!! But for actual trail riders like us who ride the pounded out trails in muskoka hard, the Qs3r is far superior. SRX will not work well on sunday afternoons when moguls are 3 ft unfortunately.

I actually think a stock 998 might be the best way to go in the long run....while I love the massive power and bottom end spool/snap of the tune, the stocker "should" keep its belt life and be able to hold it WOT forever without worry of knock light, so lake running LONG lakes may be alot more fun stock, and belts should hold. The tech that comes with the tune is really amazing though, and would be missed with all the data logging ect....

I would buy a cat though next more then likely, as the YAM primary is proving more everyday what a pile of garbage it is. Its too bad as the blue is by far best on the eyes.

Ok we need to quantify these results top speed is not a true indicator of trail power these runs are done in long distances now shorten up the run and you will see the difference between a tuned sled and a stocker. I’m pretty sure with the right gearing, clutching and nice ice conditions unlimited distance a stock srx will run 130 but it won’t pull the way you want on the trail. Just a fun day out breaking in the sled.

I fully intend to trail ride my SRX and see no reason why the IQS suspension would not eat moguls much like the QS3’s. The suspension travel is the same but the sled is 1” lower, so I don’t see ride quality diminishing. Also, the 1” track with iron has been proven to be a great hard pack trail track. Loose snow and powder, everyone will be spinning unless you have a paddle track.
Just my opinion

I could post the pic of the gps but that doesn’t prove anything either.

Agree. Conclusions to how the SRX handles rough trails need to be made after many miles are logged, not before.

 

[snowbeast]

I have no doubt it will do 200km/h GPS in perfect condition

200km/h speedo whit 1" track is probably around 180-185 km/h GPS MAX


Have a good winter

I don't believe the speedos are off 10 mph,maybe 6-8 maybe. I have seen my speedo off 6mph vrs gps,but that was on rough snow,with drifted bumps from start to finish,over 1/2 mile runs,on perry pond benedicta maine.

 

[snowbeast]

I don't think the new yamaha speedo's were out that far, maybe a 1 or 2 mph. we're supposed to get a crap load of freezing rain, when the conditions get better I'll have my friend t.k. come over with his new srx(low windshield) and we'll run some #'s for sh1ts and giggles on the radar gun and gps.
All's I was trying to do was inform everyone on the truth on yamaha with their claims of anew 120mph sled.
If you're around Dan? bring your sled. I don't wanna leave any doubt on the accuracy of my radar or gps.

Your sled sounds solid for sure,the average speeds the speedo is off,varies of course,but what I have found is 4mph average,and sometimes more,this is always gps vrs speedo,as my gps is mounted on top of my handlebar middle pad.

 

[snowbeast]

I'm with you bro. Speedo accuracy is about 3% high. And to your point. A speedo indicated 125mph is solid. Some guys are running a speedo indicating a lot less.

With that said. Not everyone is trying to have the fastest stock winder in the country. Or really cares to prove it.

I had a dootalk diehard on my sled going 122mph. Indicated......I'm fine.
And like you.....I'd drag my bone sled sled to a lake to play. I would love to see how I'd compare to a 240kit on top.

Congratulations.......no worries and no need to discredit you.......

Yes 3% is very close,on perfect conditions,and studded good.

You do realize the center shock is a base shock on SRX, same as a SE shock in center. And the fronts/rear are Qs3 only, no rebound and not 5/8'' shafts only 1/2". So they wont hold up to mogul mashing nearly as well with a 580lb++ sled. Also the fact you can only set the front and rear to same setting, not individually. I like to set my front soft and rear firmer many times, cannot do that with new suspension.

1" track IMO will be purely a hardpack trail or lake track...everything else it will be spinning all the time. Heck the 1.25" unstudded is a handfull even on these winders.

I would install a 1.25 rip2 and a team primary for sure.

I'm really interested to see how the weight transfer will be.

How did this become a suspension thread? I was talking about "out of the box" speeds?
If you want to buy a srx and change whatever you feel will make it better in the rough trails, buy one! Don't bash op's sleds! They spent the money to have what they want, not what you want!
I personally want to ride smooth trails, not rough ones!

 

[Doc Harley]

Well yeah..... Probably safe to say no one's buying an SRX the fastest production sled built today to have excessive weight transfer? Tight is right

Bunch of jealous wannabees posting again. Uninformed also. Really getting old. At least I admit being jealous of the SRX sleds.
