gear change on xtx?

[htlo1r]

Was thinking about changing gearing on my 09 xtx to the apex gears... any input on this I would love. Thanks ty brothers.

Where is it lacking or what are you looking to gain? I havent heard of any XTX gear changes yet short of big paddled tracks for the mountain guys running a flatland sled up the hills.

If you gear up that high.You will atually accellerate slower and have slower top speed because you will be lugging the the too much even with clutching it.
Just because you gear up you won't go faster,you need the hp to do it.There is a fine line with gearing on all sleds.

I just wanted to maybe get a little less bottom bc it has plenty and add a little top speed. We are on a a three mile long lake and do alot of drag racing.

Apex gears are way to high, but you could try going to a 38 bottom gear from the 39. That may help a little. But, if you want more mph on top, then get your Primary clutch machined. A full exhaust system with K&N filter will net you a solid 5-6mph higher on top end.

Where would I get my clutch machined?
