Yes,that is what woody said he was seeing on the test sled at the dealer test runway they were on,and that was unstudded on snow,he also said he has a dealer friend in Canada who has been running one at 122 as well on snow,and if geared up one tooth thinks it will see 130,that is amazing for a stock sled period.I just read a dealer post...who rode it...he claims it did 122 mph on gps!!!!
That is unheard of for a stock snowmobile!!!....so you can stop with the Apex is gonna be faster crap.
I love my apex xtx...but no way will it touch that speed...I know some of you moded apex guys might give it a good run...but keep in mind the sidewinder is stock...a little modding and this thing might push 130.
I think the ski doo guys just pooped a little...lol...the "Mach Z" they were waiting for...just got released by Yamaha (and Cat)
Hi old friend,seems like Evolutionpowersports already feels they can reflash the ECU sense they have an add in my new snow tech mag,about the new yammie having 180 hp and there flash can take it to 205 hp everdently they posted this info before AM snow posted dynotechs hp numbers lol,and they say 220 on 93 octane with there flash and 205 on 91,and someone from dynotech posted to my thread about there hp on the yammie being made on 91 octane,only thing I asked was,it a cold pass,or warmed up motor at operating temp,and no answer back,either way,if this ECU stays the same for production and once we get a thousand miles on this motor,we all should see close to same hp,and speed is all relavent to conditions,proper rpm's octane and distance and hook up,now keith woods who I tried to get to take my xtx in on trade,told me today he was on the viper that was pulling 123 at airstrip,but it was overevving to around 9000 rpms,but that may of been a good thing,seeing from the dyno data,it still makes max power at 9000 and with that 21/41 and o.d. secondary yammie has on it,may of been the reason for such good speed,he also said the apex was only revving 9800 so he and us all know that was not in its best power to make mam speed,but none the less,my ape xtx all stock runs out of power at 111-112 gps and this new yammie runs out of gear at 123 so either way there is a 10 mph difference between the two,and this was on snow,so if it was on ice and geared up a tooth or more,you may see 130,according to a Canada dealer woody knows who has a prototype viper with all Yamaha stuff,he is seeing same 122-123 on gps to at there test strip,on snow. Not bad for stock.
Hey SJ where did you see this turbo was going to be 40 lbs lighter than what? And what were they comparing it to? So what was the sleds weight that they think this is 40 lbs less,thats a big chunk of weight,sense these procross chassis are already light compared to old cat chassie,or our apex chassie.
Is that how jim at dynotech does his ramp up pass,the dyno's I have been on years ago,all did a cold pass to see where it spiked to cold for a first pass,and once warmed up,started to collect data,and they made some very long runs at WO throttle,well past 12 seconds,and some endurance runs up to 1 min. and it was a water brake dyno.
