Just pulled the trigger on an XTX and I'm syched! Was looking at the LTX as well, anybody know the difference in stock gearing between the LTX and the XTX? I think I heard the XTX was lower??? Thanks.

I think its actually geared higher in the chain case but the smaller drivers lower the gearing

RTX and LTX are 24/50 gears. XTX is 21/41. XTX is higher actual gear but because of the pitch and number of sprocket teeth its lower geared overall
RTX/LTX is 9 tooth 2.86 pitch drivers which gives you about 101 mph top speed @ 1:1 clutch ratio.
XTX is 8 tooth 3.0 pitch drivers which gives you about 95 mph top speed @ 1:1 clutch ratio.
I actually put xtx gears in my rtx to have a higher gear ratio with my turbo

Thanks for the info newtron, Thinking about having a MPI turbo installed. Just trying to justify $4600 after spending a ton on a new sled! How much are the Hurricanes installed?

Its was 3500 installed by dave at hurricane himself. He has been great to deal with. Whenever you have a question just shoot him and email and he is back to you within the hour most times.
Clutching and gauges are extra of course. I have 800 miles on my turbo with no problems yet

Well I'm in NH so not a lot of choices, MPI is Yamaha approved and being installed by a Yamaha dealer and includes everything. Hmmmmmmm, decisions, decisions . . . .

probably can't go wrong with mpi either. Many good options I think

Got to thinking about the gearing, isn't the XTX @ 21/41 a 1.95 ratio lower than the LTX and RTX @ 24/50 a 2.08 ratio??? or am I looking at this backwards?
